Even OpenAI used to do cool things. I remember when they were training a neural network to play Dota 2 via self-reinforcement learning. That was genuinely cool shit! arxiv.org/abs/1912.06680

These are: ● A small but well-founded production by some of the most talented folks in the industry, ● A game that took a solo developer two full years with no pay (and for one of them, he was fully supported by his partner!) ● The most recent game to hit the friendslop roulette (complimentary)

The primary lessons here are that: 1) The Democratic Party had 8 months to find a person who didn't have Nazi tattoos and wasn't 80 years old, and they couldn't do it 2) Dem voters are willing to overlook a mountain of red flags to get anything different than what dems have been offering

i'm not saying the democrats wanted to enable this outcome. but i am saying if the democrats DID want to enable this outcome, you'd be hard pressed to find a single choice they would've made differently. they may say otherwise, but only their actions tell the truth.

Screenshot of text from an interview with Alan Moore. 

Interviewer: You have become a magician, and not the rabbit-out-of-a-hat kind. Do some ideas have magical properties?

Moore: When I became a magician at the age of 40, I took it very seriously, and it has transformed my life. There’s no difference between magic and creativity. One part of magic is changing the consciousness of other people. Writing has always been the best way of doing that. If a wizard puts a curse on you, maybe your hands weigh too much, big deal. If you offended a bard they might put a satire on you, destroy you in the eyes of everybody who knows you, your own eyes, and if it’s good enough people might still be laughing at you in 200 years’ time. I think a lot of us have forgotten what art is for. It’s an engine of human progress. Art and culture stay with us. It’s the wars we’re ashamed of.

If the goal here was to stop nuclear proliferation, it already has failed: if I was not on friendly terms with the US or their proxies right now and did not currently possess nuclear weapons, I would be moving as fast as possible to develop or acquire them

coates is genuinely a generational writer
What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? What are we to make of an NFL that, on one hand, encourages us to "End Racism," and, on the other, urges us to commemorate an unreconstructed white supremacist? And what of the writers, the thinkers, and the pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk's death from the malignancy of his public life? Can they truly be so ignorant to the words of a man they have so rushed to memorialize? I don't know. But the most
telling detail in Klein's column was that, for all his praise, there was not a single word in the piece from Kirk himself.

This isn't science. It's religion with a scientific veneer. How are these claims falsifiable? It's the ever-looming Second Coming but for people who frequently posture as being "above" religion.

This is a good example of how conservative elites *know* that their ideology doesn't work. There hasn't been a more friendly political climate for sexual harassers in the last 30 years, but the proudly "antiwoke" news channel still doesn't want sexual harassers on staff. I wonder why?

This headline is incredibly misleading. They did not "train" a model for $50. They took an already-trained model (Qwen2.5) funded by a massive corporation (Alibaba) that cost tens-to-hundreds of millions of dollars and nudged it to do slightly better in a single domain.

This entire thread is interesting, but this post alone feels like it could be it's own thread. The WSJ reported just last year that Altman was trying to raise as much as 7 trillion (TR-trillion) dollars to build AI chips. Would you do anything economically with that much cash to burn? Could you?
