I know someone like this… speedran becoming an AI researcher although his math was at the level of a 9th grader and he couldn’t complete a sentence in English without a mistake. You could see ChatGPT behind every slack message and the CTO still ate it up

It’s like now that they have Andrej on board as a fig leaf, they thought they could go full misanthropic

[Conor @jconorgrogan]

TLDR:
1. Declare AI too dangerous for ordinary competition so you propose a regulatory regime where only the largest incumbents can survive
2. Warn about labor displacement while selling the product to executives as a labor-displacement tool
3. Warn about state overreach while asking the state to license and gatekeep frontier models
4. Warn about corporate power while sketching a corporate-state cartel over compute, release, security, export controls, and deployment

The only lesson ant learned from this is that the next time they want to quietly sabotage your prompts, they won’t tell you about it

[Max Zeff @ZeffMax]

NEW: Anthropic is walking back Claude Fable 5's policy to covertly degrade performance for competing AI researchers, after facing fierce backlash.

“We’re changing Fable 5’s safeguards for frontier LLM development to make them visible,” Anthropic tells WIRED. “We made the wrong tradeoff and we apologize for not getting the balance right.”

@joshmaycpa Literally just took an 80k salary cut to be wfh with flexible hours. No way I’m missing out on my daughter’s childhood to sit in some corposlop office all day

I would bet my net worth on it being somewhere around the orange and green lines

- Slightly higher growth
- We all die

Which path are you betting on, anon?

Was reading a short story in the New Yorker where they rocked their newborn to sleep and then “snapped” them in to the stroller like no. No you didn’t. And no way that baby stayed sleeping in that stroller with your journey half way around town.

[nazzo @nazzobetweeting]

i was reading a book by a british author that takes place in NYC and the author wrote “the flight from London landed at LaGuardia Airport” like no. no, it didn’t. no it did not do that.

@zagrebbi I always thought they grew up with so much functional utilitarian architecture that they genuinely think it’s beautiful but Israeli also often do group gaslighting to weed out the less committed on other topics so interesting theory that’s what they’re doing here

Very third worldist. This is not the American way

[ALX 🇺🇸 @alx]

I fully endorse the idea of a 500 foot statue of George Washington being built for America’s 250th birthday.

Israel be doing the reverse 10 plagues on Iran. They started with the plague of the Firstborns with the decapitation strike killing off all the heads of the regime.
Now we got Darkness.
Next is Locust- I’m guessing a massive swarm of drones?

@FragranceAESTCS Still not as good as carnal flower

[elbaz @wellbaz]

Every time you push people who claim their 6mo sleeps through the night with questions, you find out it happened to them once but really they wake up super quickly a couple of time to drink milk and also when they are sick they wake up and in reality a majority of the time they don’t sleep through the night. But these parents lie to themselves to help cope

[Flo | Side-Straddling Life Itself @MagnafoxOdyssey]

@Shadoo_creeture I fucking hate hate hate "blooming the desert". What makes a desert ecosystem "lesser" than a woody or fielded ecosystem? Why must everything cater to the ideals of the western rolling green countryside of European plants?

[elbaz @wellbaz]

@memeticsisyphus The Spiffiest Giant in Town has a similar plot

@ParechalPetain6 @grok where were the two prominent French Jewish physics Nobel prize winners for quantum physics born? Were thy Sephardic?

@ParechalPetain6 Les deux Juifs français qui ont remporté le prix Nobel de physique pour leurs découvertes en physique quantique, qui étaient-ils ?

The required takeaway from the genetic differences video is that your enemies do not use words the way that you do. They are not instruments for conveying meaning. They do not illuminate a mapping from mental concepts to physical reality

They are spells, provided to them by wizards. The purpose of the spells is to make you do what they want. You may believe that you are having a conversation, but they know they are in a spell-casting contest. And their ignorance of everything that is real provides them with absolute immunity to your spells

There are millions of spell-casters out there. I am not on Twitter to talk to these people, who cannot be reasoned with or bargained with any more than the TV can hear you. I am here to find others who understand the situation for what it is

Words will never get us out of this. There is only one way we are ever going to take the country and the world back from spell-casters. Every day we spend casting our impotent spells at them is another day they further consolidate their power
