@bryanbrinkman No one other than your FoxNews-addicted uncle seriously calls it "SI," come on

@ZRMD123 @pkrbergeverest @Kalshi Unlike you, I actually work with AI, and calling it a "superintelligence" is incredibly dumb. It's a great tool, but it's not super anything yet.

"Artificial super intelligence" was already a term in AI research. Maybe don't let an 80yo bankrupt businessman dictate tech wording.

@jerzeymade18 @Polymarket Absolutely hilarious how many people here don't understand how betting markets work.

Even funnier, some of these people are calling others idiots.

@tmerullo16 Any news on whether the dog was rescued?

[World of Statistics @stats_feed]

Creatine while dieting? You might keep the muscle and drop more fat.

A 12-week Texas A&M study in adults 45–65 found 10g of creatine monohydrate a day did more than the placebo:

• No structured workouts: about 2.4 lb (1.1 kg) more lean tissue, plus stronger bench and leg press
• Training 3x/week in a calorie deficit: nearly 3 lb (1.4 kg) more lean tissue, less fat mass, and a bigger drop in body-fat % than diet and exercise alone

Researchers say it’s the first study to show creatine plus training and a modest deficit beat diet and exercise alone on body-fat percentage. Aerobic fitness didn’t improve. Side-effect rates in a prior review of 685 trials looked similar to placebo.

@Kalshi If you read this study, the median weekly in-person worship rose from 65 in 2020 to 70. But this really isn't much, for reference it was 137 in 2000. It's a slight increase in hungry times, they're still estimating that 100,000 churches in the US will close over the next decade.

@Anderson___999 @Kalshi If we're regressing as a culture, why not go back to print magazines?

[the_hyperboreal @the_hyperboreal]

@Kalshi Ok I know you're a betting service, but calling AI "SI" because a dementia patient said so is too stupid even for you. I can't believe I have to say this, but have some self respect.

@SirlinJohn Not sure why you don't know this, but don't get so close to a moose and don't let your dog near it. If that moose heard you and woke up, it would have been aggressive and charged you. It's mating season for them.

Unbelievable that no one taught you this.

@sorealfoods Adding some shitty cheap hotsauce at literally every step. This is why colon cancer rates in 20s and 30s are through the roof for Gen Z.

@r_nvmber @manwon_man What? No... it's water. Mercury isn't transparent. I'd ask if you were AI, but not even a hallucinating AI would say something so daft, good god.

@fasc1nate Are you people completely barmy, or what?

If one side of your face is paralyzed, you can't move it. If you can't move it, you can't crease it. Wrinkles don't form. Good god, who writes for this account... I know it's not AI because even AI can't conceive of something so dim.

@0xLightcycle @alz_zyd_ Did you flunk that class? The prefrontal cortex doesn't, like, "turn on" at age 8, it develops gradually from infancy and keeps maturing into the mid-20s. And the Duncan et al. metastudy found that math skills at kindergarten were the strongest predictor of later academic success

[the_hyperboreal @the_hyperboreal]

@alz_zyd_ @Mi_Arya_ @BrunsJulian1541 It's a really dumb point. There have been maybe 3 Fields Medal recipients (June Huh, Witten, and maybe Mirzakhani) who were not into math in school. They still all learned math in school, though.

If you only studied math, you'd know having 4% outliers doesn't disprove the rule.

[the_hyperboreal @the_hyperboreal]

@axiomofmind @Polymarket And they haven't mentioned coherence degradation at that scale. Probably because it's bad. Imagine generating a one-prompt novel and having every chapter get more nonsensical.

Maybe this could be a new genre of AI fiction, starts off normal and slowly goes full Finnegans Wake.

@GrizzleA4 @PismoBeach805 I'm a white guy and no one here hates me. CA is the 4th largest economy in the world. We have no budget deficit and our structural deficit is will be $8.4B in '29-30, down from $23B. Homelessness was down 2.8% between '24 and '25.

Maybe don't believe everything FoxNews tells you

@glitchaddicts El Niño is a huge patch of warm water in the Pacific. It makes hurricanes stronger, but it's not a hurricane itself. There's a Hurricane Polo (a Category 5), but that will hit Mexico, not CA.

Newsom is talking about El-Niño-caused coastal flooding and heavy storms all winter.

@unusual_whales Most of my female friends are childfree and explain it like this: "Why would I sacrifice all my free time, most of my $$, and risk lifelong physical injury for a kid I may not even get along with, instead of vacations, time for my interests, and generally doing whatever I want?"
