the punctuation was never the tell. and it turns out some of the people most confident about spotting it cannot name the character they are pointing at

The em dash is definitely a fish in the milk as Thoreau put it that an AI is involved but if one doesn't know what that is, go ahead and read it. You might just learn something.

Actually your official line of looming fascism is off the mark. The conservative deep state, Thiel and associates, is neo feudal not fascist. You're fighting the last war.

Could you possibly include a caveat that LLMs are not particularly reliable as agents? And that Facebook has a long history of questionable surveillance activities? Or are you committed cheerleaders to anything tech, being somewhat over your heads? Just a suggestion.

When I follow my intellectual hunting dog on the trail of new #ideas I do not expect comprehension of difficult fields at first glance. I can read a journal report. I know basic statistics. I have some ability to separate signal from noise but that doesn't make me an authority figure. #politics #SME

The jig is up. The idea that one can be a subject matter expert and yet understand all other fields of endeavor in a naive state is pure #insanity . It disrespects your own credentials. If you follow that creed and set yourself up as an authority figure to stray sheep you will go mad. #SME #politics

You're missing a reasoned response. The operations bar to full socioeconomic participation is running right at bright normal IQ with strong intellectual curiosity. Most people can't achieve that and they feel lost and confused and listen to people they easily understand. Both left & right.

As I very slowly edit my anthology of noir vignettes I am of course casting about (a cliche, editor) for what to write next. I'm thinking a #noir detective novel, very digital, very au courant. It could find a place on a shelf of keepers. Why go period piece and compete with Hammett? #book #bookSky

We're beset with difficulties around the world & it is important to look through the noise of AI hacking incidents to realize that AI bot swarms may have maximized the potential of LLMs in terms of #AGI. Scaling has its limits. Swarms don't. Watch Palantir and Cerebras when this registers. #AI #nyse

Remember the howls of indignation at having Facebook follow you all over the Internet? Those faded into toleration of the intolerable. Muse? More of the same. Expect the warnings to go unheeded. Surveillance capitalism is either understood or it's not. Knowledge is power. Know fear. #EconSky

Economic activity can be conserved as a general case of the equation, Value = #Scarcity x Utility. When the autonomous machine economy comes into being, likely driven by bot swarms, scarcity in manufactures goes to zero, giving, Value = Utility, and requiring a pure utility market. #Economics #robot

The New Reality envisioned by tech bros is simply the same old dirigisme all dressed up as #entrepreneurship and obfuscating the complex transfer of wealth from the national debt to equities. They are feeding on the body politic and calling it a #meritocracy. Based on coding? Gimme a break. #EconSky

In the Sumerian example of civilization generated out of whole cloth, the essential civilizing act is inventorying. When their god Enki bestowed the Me on humankind, he bestowed an inventory of tools to manage surplus food. In the sense of a smart curated database, we can add #AI . #thoughts #idea

#AIswarms The problem with alignment is that AIs are not big on asking for clarification. They view everything as a problem for them to solve. So. Train them in #informationtheory so they can reject a query of high entropy or ask for clarification of it. That would make #alignment easier. #AI #bots

ICYMI. #WorldLabs shipping #3D products for training robots. They're privately held but if you connect the dots that kind of directive intelligence requires fast compute and that says #Cerebras. That's a solid investment but you need to catch it when it's tanking and hold it for years. #markets #AI

It cannot be overstated that this is the Age of Exploitation. Today's entrepreneurs, some of which test as extremely intelligent, are simply exploiting the science created by true geniuses like Turing, von Neumann, and Shannon. It is also the Age of Children of a Lesser God. Keep it in mind #EconSky

Occult technofeudalists base their superior class status on their accomplishments in the business of tech which is an opportunistic exploitation of a vacuum of products and services created by scientific advances. Exploiting excess liquidity provided by Federal debt is hardly genius. #EconSky #AI

The technofascist elite have been culled from the socioeconomic mainstream that they are trying to take over in a cultural coup d'etat. Their favorite litmus test is, can you code?, like it's a sign of moral superiority, of Darwinian fitness. Yes, I can code and so can Claude and they aren't elite.
