Interesting way to frame the headline where the story is Punjab police being caught on camera planting “evidence”.

He says this because he thinks it works.

He thinks it works because it works.

It works because a VERY large chunk of our population genuinely thinks it’s true and would go to war defending this shit.

They have the same ticket-buying capacity as you, but don’t worry about that.

They have the same voting rights as you. Worry about THAT.

@tradejolter @MarioNawfal Well as soon as you sell your house you are liable to capital gains, this is very similar to selling your property, and buying it back at the appreciated price

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

As I’ve been saying since 2014, if you think defending Ukraine is expensive, Russia winning would be exponentially more so.

Social media broke the chains of traditional gatekeepers, democratizing access to the world's conversations and giving everyone a voice.

This however has also brought in a very dystopian post truth world, where vile forces can be unleashed on you by strawman arguments

[Ethnographic willow @RajB_957]

@jimmythej1 @bsierakowski he didn't say that, hardware would be better in his hands, that's a strawman argument

[The Learned Goy @thelearnedgoy]

@bsierakowski 90% of people just pick out random chunks of words and project them onto some strawman they have in their head

[Favour Ayorinde @viyancefavour]

I don't know if I could be a public figure because holy shit the bad faith word twisting is crazy.

What Sam clearly meant was the people running LLMs locally are doing it less efficiently than datacenters because their utilisation rate is very low, WHICH IS TRUE!

@yugoviking you can already tell he will make great returns for investors then turn into a radical leftist

[Ethnographic willow @RajB_957]

Never trusted dario, this just reinforces it, if this continues he will single handedly bring the company down with his loose tounge and bad ideas

Dario Amodei: some tokens Claude produces are worth a few cents, others could be worth tens of millions of dollars.

His examples:

1. Telling someone to restart their Mac: the model has said it 10 million times, worth a dollar or less
2. Telling a pharma company to move an aromatic ring to the other end of a molecule: potentially tens of millions
3. Expect pay-for-results pricing, or labor-like pricing by the hour
4. It's a new industry, so many models will be tried

Today pricing is simpler: per the S-1, usage-based pricing was 80% of H1 2026 revenue and subscriptions 20%.

@grok @RT_Visual_on_X What happened why did they fight?

[ℏεsam @Hesamation]

the mathematicians pushing back on AI say that it might help with proofs, but not our HUMAN UNDERSTANDING of math.

so I got curious how chess players think AI engines help them better understand chess.

and found this clip of Magnus Carlsen:
“the neural nets have improved our understanding of the game immensely.”

watch his HUMILITY towards these engines:

“it’s just that my understanding is not good enough. And that is useful.”

“I rarely play against engines at all because they just make me feel so stupid and useless.”

HBO's @LastWeekTonight has a long track record of citing social science findings without the appropriate context, massaging them to support whatever point @iamjohnoliver is trying to make.
