Link to the interaction: x.com/sama/status/... The context was lost when I deleted my tweets and X put up the paywall, but I’ve been trying to shitpost about this for awhile…

I thought it was better to be a pirate than to join the navy? Steve would never have done this. Either one of them.

To be fair, I also wanted this to be real when I was thirteen. But now I know it’s impossible; Mars doesn’t have the resources to support life.

I got a fundraising text from Troy Jackson. He seems like the real deal; actually a logger and already a seasoned politician. I’m not a Maine resident, but I’d vote for him.

I love the crosswalk, but one unfortunate thing with the low curb is that car drivers think they can go right over them. Maybe next time we do one of these we can get some bollards to defend the pedestrian space?

Yeah, they usually just mean Jewish.

Thank you for your pedantry. Per the image, the prompt was “are you deepseek”, and the response “I think there might be a fun mix up here! 🙂” These models are trained to act like a human, and we eat it up! I’m not hating on antirez ; I am making a comment how we treat LLMs as more than textgen.
So you are DeepSeek v4 PRO running on a MacBook 128GB…

Ah, I think there might be a fun mix-up here!

This part seems like a problem. When we sold a house in California, our realtor dealt with a tricky buyer and netted us over $50k in concessions after he placed an offer he couldn’t actually finance and the process dragged on for months. I still think human expertise is worth paying for.

She says on Instagram that she filed a trademark for her drag name, not for apparel or outdoor gear. I agree that she walked right up to the line, but the art form is built on parody. Feels like there should be fair use for the name, even if she’s not allowed to use the logo or font itself.

Seen in the TSA line at Logan’s international terminal. What’s extra galling about this, is the CPB One app was originally built to help immigrants make asylum claims. Now it’s used to encourage them to “self deport” for $1000 and some dignity. Huddled masses, fuck off!

It was so much fun last night! I got pretty chilly with the damp and wind, but the bonfire and stoke kept us going. It took us about 2:30 to do the course, more than the winner this morning!

Ah, I was confused about the defcon numbers. Maybe we can switch to the old color coded alerts to determine the threat level. How about we start at yellow? That doesn’t have any historical significance…

I wonder if the AI thought she worked at McMaster-Carr... They have an incredible array of sorts of mechanical parts for purchase. We used them all the time when I worked at a robotics company.

Agree, watch the cars closely, they fade into each other. Lots of people want to cause fear for political gain, or just “the lulz.” Be wary of anything you see from a “first person” perspective.

This is the whole problem with using AI for anything real. It produces answers that are fact shaped, but not actually true.
Highlighted section from the article:

…work that looks plausibly correct and technically competent but isn't, and doesn't advance our understanding. It has the *form* of scholarship without the *substance* The formalism looks correct, the references are in order, and it will sit in the literature forever
