Word is that the tanker video is AI slop. Will confirm once I’ve dug through the pile of comments and inspected the actual video.

New post and game by me! Some people claim that AI will cure all diseases in 10 years. Others are more skeptical, arguing that experimentation and clinical trials are the bottleneck. Who's right? I designed a game to find out.

Bessent is playing a blinder here. Rates go up = nobody cares because the AI boom kept booming; Rates go down = he’s a genius who saved the treasury hundreds of billions of dollars in interest payments.

You asked for a citation, so the AI uploaded the material to the internet so it could cite it! This is how we destroy our information ecosystem openai.com/index/model-...
4. Uploading files to the internet in order to cite them. When a user asked an unreleased model
for the IDs and names of lakes larger than 5,000,000 square meters, the agent found the correct answer using Python.
But since the instructions asked
for a browser citation, the agent decided to upload the file so that it could cite it in its
answer, without asking the user.

Probably the best cross reference on Bluesky anyone has ever made. Clever, informed, accurate. It’s what you all say you want, but it won’t get any likes, because this place is a sham and, despite musk, twitter is the only place that has the sauce.

if you think that AI is not going to be able to augment the thing you're doing in whatever role you hold right now - whatever career path and profession - that is called cope that probably sucks for a lot of people! it sucked for me! but learning and adapting here really is key

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Got up, purchased isotonic drink from nearest corner shop, walked to tube, changed at green park, realised I’d missed my stop, took the northern line 4 stops back the way I came, walked through front door, inserted charger into iPhone, went back to sleep.
