Watching some of the new things various tech firms are coming out with feels like a Netscape CD free with a magazine while Google is being built in a garage.

Saw this indie band last night, they were good but singer was v annoying. She completely misunderstood a Southampton/Portsmouth joke by a bandmate as something she was supposed to "riff" on and honestly if there'd been more than nine people in the audience she'dve needed security to escort her out.

I wish I kept track of this stuff more because there were definitely some smart people saying a year ago that the big ticket LLMs were going to plateau and the interesting stuff was going to happen with people running limited instances on low tech and now it's happening I think.

When assessing claims like “are the labs sincere about their concern that recursive self improvement is imminent, or is it simply marketing”, I think a useful data point is that openAI is now on a weekly release cycle for point improvements.

On the other hand you have the known philanthropist and orphan adopter who employs people like Lucius Fox and Alfred Pennyweather, and where the main concern is that he'll flake on you at the gladhanding brunch he's paying for.

You are a community organiser and activist. On the one hand you have a petty and vindictive nightclub owner who employs people like "Rocko", "Knuckles" and "Ice Pick" who will feed you to his pet shark as soon as you question him

As a non-economist, I am open-minded to the economic arguments against the wealth tax. But on political economy, I think @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social's argument is naive. This is like saying the problem with absolute monarchy is not the monarchy but the wickedness of the reign.

The problem with Elon Musk is not his wealth; it is what he chose to do with his wealth. Yes, in theory, if you implemented this miraculously robust wealth tax that successfully limited personal wealth from growing from millions to billions, Elon Musk would not be a problem. But you know who would be? Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who enabled the gutting of USAID, revoked hundreds of student visas for political speech, and is personally instrumental in the United States’ ongoing war crimes in both the Caribbean and Persian Gulf. Or OMB Director Russ Vought, the man in charge of actually enacting DOGE personnel cuts and deciding to withhold billions of federal funds from Democratic states. A more appropriate response to wealthy individuals leveraging their wealth to destructive political ends is to harden the political system, not tweak economic policy in the vain hope of preventing the existence of wealthy individuals.

And when I’ve challenged AI people on what the measure of this transformation is they start talking about individual break throughs. So question: If we put a trillion dollars into cancer research would that not achieve same result as AI?

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that Anthropic discovered new virus genes for making DNA. He says he’s been studying them for years—and feeding his data to Anthropic’s AI as part of his own research. Coincidence? Here’s my story. nyti.ms/3VSWayc

Did Anthropic’s A.I. Really Make a Scientific Discovery on Its Own? (Gift Article)

An expert at the University of Copenhagen said his team had been sharing its research with the company’s A.I. model, Claude, and that its new finding matched their work.

there are lots of plausible AI risks, I don't think any of them involve emergent machine gods, and the superintelligence bullshit mostly avoids talking about regulation and handling of the real problems.
