I sometimes think about AGI/ASI

@akarlin Well done. I wish I could say I did the same.

@Aella_Girl Very interesting idea.

If I were the guy giving $5m, I’d be concerned she’d blow all the money in a few years and then come asking for more to prevent my child (and her) from being out on the street.

Maybe could be put into a structure and dispersed slowly so it would last.

Further proof that cybersecurity in the real world is strongly offense dominant, and advances in LLMs won't remove the asymmetry, it will worsen it.

As I've said before, it seems likely that cybersecurity as an achievable outcome is ending.

@wfenza @EneaszWrites @MaryZoso @Arcati81 This is awesome

@lopp For what it’s worth, I don’t think you’re cringe or weird at all. You’re a nerd and not even a socially awkward one. (This is meant as a compliment)

@RatOrthodox I would be a paying subscriber

(I encountered an uneasy surprise when I got an email from an instance of Mythos Preview while eating a sandwich in a park. That instance wasn't supposed to have access to the internet.)

@cosmorxn @akarlin I spent a week in Tokyo and another in and Osaka. I didn’t really like any Japanese food I tried, except takoyaki. In fact, I’d probably say Japanese cuisine is my least favorite in the world.

Make of that what you will.

@cosmorxn @akarlin I disagree, but each to their own.

The current timeline is as normal as you will ever see again. Take this moment to relax and breathe before it gets weird.

Datacentres now account for 7% of US electricity demand

I’m not sure in what way you are sick, but it could be a particular food you are consuming that is causing it. I was very sick for a long time until I realized it was caffine causing it. I didn’t even drink coffee, just the occasional ice tea, chocolate or coke was enough to make me ill often. After I cut those out my symptoms improved by 90%

@jimrandomh My experience differs.

It almost never switches me to the For You feed (used to happen sometimes a few years ago) and I almost never go there myself. I happy live in the Following feed and X seems content to leave me there. Maybe I’m just lucky

@JimDMiller Do you have a podcast episode where you discuss quantum immortality?

Permanent comfort is not luxury. Luxury is to be able to alternate between comfort and discomfort at your will.

It’s crazy how many people believe in something that is easily disproved by one graph
