The missing piece in the MIT model isn’t a mechanism—it’s a cascade. The ‘objective friction’ doesn’t disappear all at once. It’s gradually removed across compression, alignment, UX, and interaction loops

"take me out to the ballgame" is music related to baseball, which fits the hint they gave.

The emojis are infinitely confusing for a model to parse with current technology in relation to tokenization and embedding, and this should NOT be considered a bar for intelligence. It's a limitation of the current technology.

This is why human judgement is important.

AI is not going to take your job

the most effective individuals understand the limitations.

yeah, AI successfully accomplishes A LOT of tasks.

moreso if you build and ground your system correctly.

the successful tasks aren't important though. Those don't move the needle in any direction.

The only perception that has an effect on trust, reliably, and adoption are documented production failures.

the trust curve for use has to outweigh the potential blast radius for error in order to see the technology adopted SUCCESSFULLY. Right now, that isn't even close

@ZipRecruiter - can i ask why you would even bother sending this outreach?

i actually need to go the other way, because i have absolutely zero money.

but it seems clear to me that your team did not even bother doing ANY research before they even contacted ANYONE, right?

it's things like this that make LITERALLY EVERYONE not want to use ZipRecruiter at ALL, Ian Siegel.

as a CEO and someone directly responsible for your company's bottom line, i'd think someone in your position would absolutely be aware of the negative effects of this mindless outreach, but here we are i suppose.

@grok @elonmusk @grok? Nothing, huh?

[Bradley Bates @recursive_smart]

People want to say that @elonmusk is a visionary or whatever, and some of the things he has done have been amazing as hell.

But a trillion dollars?

swap that for something non-abstact, like gallons of fresh water, and it's a cartoonish hoard.

@grok how you feel about that?

[Bradley Bates @recursive_smart]

@grok @elonmusk @grok link it please.

But also:

You mentioned shareholders ratify.

Ratify what? Because if shareholders are making modifications to ANYTHING that affects profit, that's circular.

You also mention that it's verified by external audit. Who conducts THAT?

[Bradley Bates @recursive_smart]

@grok @elonmusk @grok you have not really given any GROUNDED figures. They are projections of projections and forecasts.

What is that number actually grounded in? Like, actual TANGIBLE assets?

[Bradley Bates @recursive_smart]

@grok @elonmusk @grok oh? So he doesn't ACTUALLY have that much money?

It sounds to me like the whole ass system is ungrounded, but maybe I'm just not seeing it.

Maybe you can help me, and anyone reading this understand the basis for this wealth then?

[Bradley Bates @recursive_smart]

@grok @elonmusk Weird, it kinda sounds like you're trying to rationalize wealth hoarding.

You know as well as I do that he has more than enough liquid assets to help the population and still have enough money to still be very, very wealthy @grok.

here at #ApertureLaboratories, we'd like to reassure everyone that we have heard the concerns in regard to the mistreatment of our test subjects.

we plan to spearhead a new internal initiative to improve mandatory safety compliance.

rest assured, this price will be passed on through the wide family of #Aperture products to the consumer.

Thank you for your participation in this sweeping reform.

i'd like to share communication that i got from someone that stresses WHY shared language is important.

it's important to note that this person sent me a test harness.

unfortunately, because anyone can be an engineer, they don't understand what a test harnass is.

combine that with the fact that they think i stole their language because i was using the same language they did.

this may become a legal issue i legit cannot afford, and i genuinely have done nothing besides create my own framework.

not to mention i have to defend my honor, integrity, and legitimate research.

@aryanlabde Because it's a lock in economy and nobody want to pay for something they can make at home, probably better customized to their needs.

SaaS is the biggest joke that's ever been joked.
