Been saying this for a while. More than a god, a replacement god, a kind of antichrist. Look at the marketing words these AI company CEOs use.

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

What a happy thought.

@Grimezsz @sebkrier Symbiotic relationships are common in nature and predators aren’t necessarily adversarial. The predators are crucial to maintain the health of the ecosystem. When the predator is satiated it’s not uncommon to find both the predator and its prey relaxing in the meadows.

.@SecScottBessent: "A nation that cannot manufacture, mine, ship, or refine its needs gradually cedes its strength and sovereignty to others. That is a dangerous dependency for any country; it is an unacceptable one for the United States of America."

UC was not designed to teach remedial math.
Bring back SAT for freshman admissions. Test-optional was always an option via community college transfer.

[David Shapiro (L/0) @DaveShapi]

It is, just entry level jobs.

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

I did. I have no regrets.

[Bojan Tunguz @tunguz]

I regret not studying philosophy instead of physics. Seems like a much more fulfilling major.

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

@davepl1968 This is the way.

@CyborgPeds Been there

It's like saying the CS knowledge needed to build desktop software is different from the knowledge needed to build server-side apps. It's not. Unless you overinvested in learning particular frameworks, of course. But this issue is orthogonal to AI.

[Eric Schmidt @ericschmidt]

Astronomy is ripe for new ideas, and we are working with scientists globally to build four new telescopes - one in space, three on the ground !

all of which will be done by AI agents

🤦 Sadly, precision of speech matters far less than the conviction (and repetition) of that speech.

[Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter]

The opening silo?

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

@WKCosmo Whoa! I've been doing it wrong all this time?

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

@ChShersh Yes. I was brought in to consult on a C code base many years ago. C is a terrific language but can be severely abused by unprofessional morons. The primary control logic was based on goto, setjmp and longjmp averaging 1 goto per 10 LOC.

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

@aspen_lindsay Yep

[Curt Dodds @technotweet]

Never leaving this app

[TracketPacer @TracketPacer]

bought a bunch of “CAT7/CAT8” cables off amazon and, well… here are the test results of the first one. can’t pass CAT6a, debatable on CAT5e!! 🫣

[Eric Weinstein @ericweinstein]

There are two eras of disclosure:

A) Ambiguous Photos, Videos & Stories of poor quality.
B) Material evidence made available to scientists.

My take? Real disclosure hasn't started.

A. can be dragged on forever.
B. might move like lightning. That is, if it ever begins at all.

@KurtSchlichter And she knows how Social Security works.
