Do you have any experiences from when you were there — something you believed that you felt you would have a hard time getting through to people?
JC: Yeah, definitely. When I first joined, there was a Slack channel with a Claude that had been trained to solve humor. And they were like, “Yeah, we solved humor. Here’s the Claude. We’ve solved it.” And I was in the chat like, “No, you haven’t. You clearly haven’t solved humor. What the hell is this?”

Lurianic kabbalah talks about lying face down on graves so as to absorb latent soul remnants. Same with Isaac Luria talking about himself and his disciples being transmigrated souls of early biblical figures. Because you know luria would read your foreheads for to identify your soul line.

Some leftwingers behave as if being a weeaboo for USSR automatically gives them some kind of plot armour against antisemitism. As if Stalin himself wasn't paranoid about jews and post ussr Russia still had antisemitism primed enough for fusing with esoteric conspiracies.

When the sikhs were going forward with their guru lineage, sirhindi was going forward with his qayyum lineage. The guy declared himself the qayyum, above qutb. The reviver of the second millennium, the self sustaining pillar. The qayyumate continued for four generations.

Is trump thinking like he's running a separate country that's dependent on USD currency for foreign trade? Like El Salvador trading with Panama?

So Allama Iqbal was influenced by Schelling, Alfred North Whitehead and Nietzsche? No wonder he influences crazy people. You can't be an elitist and play with fire like this.

Hearing that a new LLM AI model, cactus needle is in market. It distills and compacts the parameter length from usual billions(1b, 2b etc) to just 26 million. It's mainly for function calling. And the main usp is that no need of GPU or high RAM. cactuscompute.com

After NHK showed Vietnamese residents helping rescue a woman in Yatsushiro after this week's Kumamoto earthquake, far-right nativists in Japan launched a denialist campaign, claiming only Japanese people helped her while the Vietnamese residents "panicked."

It's trained on unscrupulously mined human essence. Built to to mimic humans using that. And it's purposely built on GPUs instead of CPUs, which inherently makes accumulated error given behavior. Yes you get speed, but you sacrifice certainty for it. Gen AI is more like golems

Married men use Japan's hostess clubs more than single men do. A 2017 survey of over 10,000 people found about 1 in 5 married men in their early 30s had visited a hostess club or a sex-work venue.

Hearing the AC discourse, I still think people with high incomes should be forced to modify or make future homes with naturally cooling architecture. And higher earners should be forced to use cutting edge cooling tech Cooling public spaces, AC subsidies for low income, middle income homes.

I think this might be a stepping stone to fight gen AI and LLM. Instead of LLMs on GPUs, something like this might mean symbolic AIs on CPUs, that too deterministic and easy for humans to track execution steps. www.wikifunctions.org/wiki/Wikifun...

Today marks the 111th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. As we honor the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire across modern-day Turkey, Syria, and Armenia, we must refuse to let history repeat itself.
In 2020, the military forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey attacked the Armenian population in Nagorno-Karabakh. In 2023, Azerbaijan expelled over 100,000 Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh, continuing the genocidal campaign that had begun over 100 years prior.
On this day of remembrance, we reaffirm the right of the Armenian people - and all people — to freedom, safety, and self-determination.
