Mr.Spring

I work in the AI/Fintech space. go USA! (and save the whales) My handle stdclibrary is a tribute to Dennis Ritchie.

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

I tasted heaven, albeit for a few moments. To have seen the light for a single moment is a triumph that the returning darkness cannot undo.

[Emmett Shear @eshear]

Feel like shit. Just want him back.

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

This is his playbook- now he is going to convince all the IT departments that the microslop ecosystem is cracked. A company i consult for told me that I am only allowed to use MS copilot models for its AI deployment. go figure!

Satya’s entire essay boils down to

“The frontier model doesn’t matter. The ecosystem matters.”

Funny how that argument always appears the moment you’re no longer clearly winning the frontier model race.

Most companies do not possess some mystical vault of irreplaceable institutional knowledge. Most of what they call “tribal knowledge” is spreadsheets, meetings, SOPs, and industry practices that frontier models are rapidly learning anyway.

The idea that human capital automatically becomes more valuable as models improve sounds nice in a keynote. In reality, better models commoditize larger chunks of human expertise every year.

And let’s be honest about the business pitch here.

“Build your sovereign learning loop.”

Translation

Please store your data in Azure.
Train your agents on Azure.
Deploy them on Azure.
Evaluate them on Azure.
Reinforce them on Azure.
And definitely don’t go directly to whoever has the best model.

This isn’t a philosophical manifesto.

It’s Microsoft selling lock-in with prettier words.

Well written.

Smart strategy.

But let’s not confuse corporate positioning with timeless wisdom. 😂

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

So proud of these young ones!

Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

after going back to GPT 5.5 and Opus 4.8 do I realize just how good Fable 5 really was...

🚨US government’s action to shut down Anthropic’s top AI models was actually triggered by an unnamed rival company claiming it could break Mythos’s security, not by China

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

@LindaRaschke Claude does have an instinct or so it thinks.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

[Steven Quartz PhD @StevenQuartz]

Sahil Bloom is the Banana Republic of influencers. Every item optimized by committee and focus-grouped to work with the median buyer. Self-improvement as corporate casual - like safe colors and no bold patterns, 'classic books and creative work' is unobjectionable, aspirational yet approachable. The median of every productivity hack distilled into one frictionless, shareable, monetizable package complelete with subtle product placement.

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

No you scumbag. It’s not a free market anymore.

Elon jailbroke the market so his buddies could force-dump their stock on retirees and attract gullible retail based on total science fiction.

You should definitely buy more though. Go big on margin.

BRUTAL indictment of @bariweiss by Scott Pelley:
"For my part, new management has instructed me to inject falsehoods and bias into a politically sensitive story. I’ve been told to include assertions that are unverified." Then it gets worse...

[Myk is going to Vibecamp @mykola]

This really is nuts. Like I don’t fuck with economics and even I can see that this is nuts.

This is Elon Musk’s checkmate, if this goes through the way it looks like it’s going to then he’s managed to push his risk onto the American people while profiting personally.

Like it will be in everyone’s direct material interest that he succeed in all of his various fascist enterprises.

We live in a completely corrupt oligarchy now. All pretense gone.

@mwebster1971 @jackschwager @gfc4 Terrible Interview, I didn't even watch it. most critical question was missed: WhyTF am I (Mr.999% webster) not on this, Did my food choices influence this? /s

[Glavny Konstruktor (Private for thought crime) @GlavnyKnstruktr]

The worst part? SpaceX was a decently healthy private company up to a few months ago when he decided to roll his money incinerator side project into it. Because he's a moron with AI delusions.

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

@enjojoyy Use /goal but ask it to pause the goal only if blocked. You need to have a scoped task with many sub tasks. Can easily run 24-48-72 hrs. Depending on how deep your pockets are!

[Mr.Spring @stdclibrary]

@DimitrisPapail Will we still have a PhD program at this rate?

[Nikhil Singh @just_nikhil01]

hey, the video guy behind this one 👋
1.9M views. $0 spent.

a lot of people are calling this the best AI-generated video they've seen in a while (@theo was one of them🐐)

and the funniest thing is, i started making videos like this only 2 weeks ago 😭😭
A lot of people have been DMing me asking how i made it, so here you go.

quick backstory:
i'm just a random 20-year-old engineering student from india, currently interning at Thine AI.
about 3 weeks ago, my founder and manager told me:

"Nikhil, just make cool stuff. forget about promoting the product."
so that's exactly what i did.

since then i've been spending way too much time experimenting with different ideas. my exams are also happening this month, but who cares 😭

i tried a bunch of different versions before this, some inspired by the goat @adilmania, some completely random, but none of them really felt right. then this one finally clicked.

okay, enough yapping.

here's the secret sauce:
for brainstorming and scripting, akanksha and i mostly use @ThineAI . coz random ideas hit at weird times, and it helps organize all of them. it also knows my storytelling style a little too well at this point 😭

for video generation, i used kling 3.0 through @invideoOfficial . the workflow is super organized, which makes iterating much faster (@_sankyy crazy product🙌)

everything else was just trial and error, late nights, and obsessing over tiny details that very few people even noticed.
but that's the whole point.
you have to go the extra mile to make your video 1% better.
and in this era of copy-pasting, that 1% is the breaking factor

period

[ellington @not_ellington]

This episode shows me how insanely little Dwarkesh knows about hardware and has made me second guess his intelligence on the other levels of the abstraction stack.

Also the dude lecturing is not communicating very well. This whole episode is very clearly an ad for MatX and a poor one at that because the founder clearly has certain gaps in his hardware knowledge

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

I wonder if the Antigravity team has designers. Couldn't believe my eyes today haha. Very flattering to the Codex team.
