AI is not a new Renaissance, some breakthrough into a new way of being in the world. It marks the end of the modern age. AI is the wet dream of the scholastics, the catalog of everything mankind knows, the golem of modernity fighting helplessly against the postmodern wave.

@MaitreyaBhakal Especially true now that Musk requires logins to view things. Screenshot means you're sharing with people who don't need an account to see the tweet.

@RiseLikeWOLVES Typical. Doctor, hospital, family, Princeton - everyone ignored his wishes. People suck.

@HealthRanger I just don't believe your statement to even be slightly true. There are a significant number of humans who could manually write the integers from 1 through 1000 without making an obvious mistake. Absolutely ridiculous that you think otherwise.

@nntaleb Gotta be honest that just reads like the typical AI "agreeing with the user" to be agreeable, and if someone else broached the subject they could and probably would get an entirely different set of token predictions from Grok.

One quibble: I think there are competing Chinese goals at play. One is tech independence and self-sufficiency. The other is rapid AI development. I doubt Alibaba went behind the government's back, keeping the Nvidia chips in Singapore for cloud use satisfied both goals at once.

@johnvon23 Seriously - good luck vibe-coding vintage hardware into quality software plugins like Softube does...

@loraclexyz @Komaniecki_R Even more accurately, the people doing the training don't know music, music history, music theory at all or barely, and so are unable to properly code the training data for the LLM.

Very exciting. The rumor is that Qwen 4 drops like the day before this IPO. Other rumors say Qwen 4 is very, very good. Can't wait. (I don't care about Anthropic trying to cash out before the bubble pops, this post is about Qwen).

[Watcher.Guru @WatcherGuru]

JUST IN: Anthropic plans to IPO next week, WSJ reports.

@HedgieMarkets I don't believe for one second that "carmakers earn thin margins on the car itself"

[periol @periol]

@GregoryConti19 Well, since there is no objective reality, no big deal. We are all truly post-post-modern now.

@MonsignorMrtnez @MTSlive I'm "aware" of all it to the point I assume the "breakthroughs" are marketing bullshit like always, and if they aren't marketing bullshit, the AI labs stole the "breakthroughs" from actual human researchers.

[periol @periol]

@realErnieGeorge @s_m_marandi The answer is you have extremely poor reading comprehension and would fail elementary school reading exams.

@moseskagan @FilmThePoliceLA good

So just like Brazil, the "left" party wins and the stock market has a tankfest. Totally a coincidence I'm sure.

Wall Street CRASHES, Trump Blames Democrats Who Aren't Even in Power Yet

The S&P 500 crashed 4.41% today, and Trump is already blaming Democrats, warning Americans that their 401(k)s are taking a HIT.

The democrats are not in power yet. That starts in January. BUT here's an interesting question: Did Trump's wealthy Wall Street allies help fuel the selloff to create PANIC after Republicans lost Congress?

There's no evidence of coordination, but the timing raises questions. Something does not add up.

@bi_swamp_thing It's an incredibly important job. Water is life, without clean potable water you have serious problems. You really want a water board beholden to City HR departments and not the people who vote?
