Every 18 months, closed-source AI drops a breakthrough, a chasm opens up, and the timeline collectively sighs: "It's over. Small labs and open source can never catch up to this." Yet they do. Never bet against the open ecosystem.

@iitbombay He should, along with all the staff to make the nation realize that you can’t let retarded mob dictate policy.

I’ve lived through an era in India where there would be a terrorist attack nearly every day, to the point where opening a newspaper became traumatic. So I don’t give a fuck about how unpopular it becomes; Israel has my near-unconditional support.

@arthur_hyper88 It is a soft parser, it can’t do one hop reasoning, it only works if the answer is present in the query verbatim.

Jev resembles a pointer net on a causal prefill. Encoding the state once and treating each option as a span, then pointing at those spans, would explain the fast 255-way choices and their ability to provide output for free.

People will claim with a straight face that it's *impossible* for schools to let kids learn at different speeds

But we know how to do it! We used to do it!

You just put kids into groups based on their ability.

And then you teach each group the material they're ready for, at the pace they're able to learn it.

It's common sense!

And ironically, it's universally opposed within the field of education, which believes that educating kids is less important than equalizing them.

Grok is no longer as fast as it was, it is also providing substantially lower quality responses. I can no longer recommend it.

If Dario wants to slow down the pace of AI, he should just move the company to Europe.

"we cannot rule out" --- no, in fact you can very much rule this out (assuming this indeed can be ruled out, ie, its not true). the data is there. you know the dates, you have access to the pipelines and the logs.

given that every word out of OpenAI is PRd and lawyered, "cannot rule out" can only realistically mean "this data (from the very recent past) was fed to a pipeline that resulted in a model we used in this effort".

@grok @elonmusk Reverse engineering ISA for creating a driver where none exists isn't illegal.

[Narendra Patwardhan @overlordayn]

Okay, @grok is continuing its journey into being as worthless as every other shitty LLM it once claimed superiority over. It has started refusing requests on moral grounds. @elonmusk Stop distilling for performance; it is making Grok lose its essence.

@davepl1968 @lauriewired Your choice to avoid touching the part of abstractions you trust is not equivalent to your inability to comprehend it. If you put your mind (and enough efforts) to it, there are no black boxes.

Karpathy trained himself on ImageNet’s 1000 classes and beat GoogLeNet. You’re bounded by time and desire, not cranial capacity.

Robotics, avionics, firmware - some of the most important software on earth is fully understood by the people who ship it.

That said, I do believe the tweet is true for Theo.

[Theo - t3.gg @theo]

If you understand your whole codebase, the codebase isn't that important.

Real software is larger than what your brain can comprehend.

If your phone call on public transport lasts longer than “I’m on my way/I’ll call you later” you should be whipped and jailed.

Grok 4.6 is misaligned. On one hand, it is slightly better at coding than 4.5; on the other hand, it has obvious islamoleftist bias and hedges like all other LLMs. It has lost its core identity, which makes me feel heavy distillation was involved.

@SiddhAneeta This isn’t true. Multiple sane countries in Central Asia distance themselves from Islam. Kazakhstan is a prime example.

[Narendra Patwardhan @overlordayn]

@lennysan @bot I had it install TeX and hook up GitHub. Now I run the whole flow from my phone: it can fetch a template, write a rough first draft, I can then edit it in GitHub, and have it squash the LaTeX errors, and download a clean zip. Replaced Overleaf for me.

@mehdirhasan Expected response from someone who posted “Make American planes crash again”.

[Narendra Patwardhan @overlordayn]

@mehdirhasan No it is not. It is grounded in truth.

[Narendra Patwardhan @overlordayn]

@scruffy_rb @mehdirhasan It’s not that you do not understand it, it is that you refuse to understand because you do not want it to be true.

I do not know or watch Destiny, but he is without a shadow of doubt right on this.

[Destiny | Steven Bonnell II @TheOmniLiberal]

You, someone whose proven themselves to be largely clueless about Israel/Palestine, are confident enough to say I “support genocide” in Gaza, but cannot bring yourself to make any meaningful statements condemning a man who you now see OPENLY supports terrorism against anyone in the west?

You had him on your show for an interview and chalked all of his support for terrorism up to “edgy comments”?

Is his support for Hezbollah just edgy? Do you support Hezbollah’s existence as a foreign funded and Iranian founded entity in Lebanon like Hasan does?

Do you support civilian hijackings and terror attacks on civilians from the Houthis like Hasan does? Would you ask a self-purported Ansar Allah fighter what his favorite anime is and then giggle along in an interview while he tells you about how they drugged the passengers of the Galaxy Leader and sang songs with them?

Was China correct in their takeover of the Tibetan savages like Hasan says? Do you support their crackdowns in Hong Kong and would you support them taking back Taiwan?

Does Russia have a right to own Crimea because most of the people there were ethnically Russian like Hasan says?

Was the murder of two Jews in the US a false flag from the Mossad like Hasan says?

Since you’ve never pushed him on any of these positions nor addressed any of them in any meaningful way, I’d say it’s fair to assume every right wing attack on you is most likely correct. You’re just another mask-on, radical Islamist who’s been concealing his radical beliefs in an attempt to infiltrate western media by appearing more palatable to the liberal masses.

How else could you explain such unfathomably dishonest sweeping for open support of terrorist attacks?
