if you don’t keep up with the youth i want you to know they’ve renamed “tramp stamps” to “cake toppers” which feels like the first advancement for feminism in a long time

OpenAI annualised revenues $20bn less than previously signalled
AI group recently told investors the critical figure was nearing $50bn in September, far less than the $70bn widely reported

I live in a navy blue city. Pretty sure it’s more liberal than Miami Dade and Broward (per capita), especially if you include Green Party voters. High turnout, too* Anyway. I can’t even go to the mile-away gas station w/out passing a minimum of 2 Flock cameras. An average outing means I pass > 10.

Catholicism occupies a Schrodinger's religion position for the American right, where it is real when it agrees with insane RW thought (SCOTUS!) and literally un-Christian otherwise

Over a year ago I met an Anthropic employee at a conference and at one point she mentioned that one of the things she was working on was whether or not it was cruel to ever turn off an AI model. I thought she was joking. She was not.

When Edward Teller was chair of the early AEC Reactor Safeguards Committee, he was considered extremely conservative in his safety demands. His reasoning was that even one catastrophic accident could destroy all public enthusiasm for a technology he believed was important.

At least once a week I wonder if Ossoff has The Juice. His prepared speeches are great, good on friendly cable, but this is doing well in a combative format. And I mean this purely in terms of rhetoric / vibes. I still want to see what accountability looks like as legislation and executive action.

Sam Altman said people are just gonna have to die in order to implement AI. In the very same week, Anthropic claimed it’s a human rights violation to be mean to the computer. These people need to be held accountable. They think lines of code are a person with rights but living people are debris.

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.
