I use PDFgear. Since my Acrobat got nuked for uhh, reasons out at sea, I just use a free alternative.

It's not dead (yet - hopefully never) Bluesky has actually improved my view of it, since it's not filled with bots and spam as X is. Seeing actual people in the comments was such a relief. Too many large platforms got overwhelmed. Another is TikTok, can't fake those comments lmao.

Can't deny that he built up these companies though. And he also works hours that even normal workers don't. They respect him for that.

Sure. Let them game it up as they wish. They've been assuming a lot of things lately, and everything has a limit.

The ICC personnel have it hard enough as it was before, and the Trump Admin wants even more pressure on them. Undermining the global institutions the US itself was involved in building, how does that help US? There are better ways to handle the relationship with the ICC, certainly not like this.

Guess which two countries were AGAINST food being a human right during a UN Resolution in 2021? 1) North Korea 2) United States 3) China 4) Israel

At some point they have to start getting called "Toilet Paper Bonds"

Is there an AI Bubble? Yes. Am I invested in it? Also yes. Why? Because I have time to waste. 😂

I want a library full of books worth Elon Musk's net worth.

Asking Russia for help while at the same time being in a proxy war against it is certainly... something. It's the first time I've seen such a thing. There is desperation, and then there's this. So much for lowering prices, America First, a "Strong" "Respected" nation reduced to begging Russia...

Part human problem. It's still work to check the citations, but not as much as it would have been otherwise. And I mean actual research, where you first get the information, or places to get the information from, and then you compose the essay or whatever yourself. Saves lots of time.

Israeli settlers and IDF soldiers have been attacking journalists consistently and without fear of any consequences for years. Governments around the world need to step up, and let Israel face accountability for their actions.

I wouldn't want my daughter near either.

The US probably has the tech, but not the platforms and readiness to use in a war. DARPA has a host of tech that is not public.

"By using AI, tasks like researching for essays that used to take days can be completed in hours!" I fixed it.

I'm skeptical on the usefulness of personal agents. They need so much personal information in order to do their thing that if a hack or leak happens, it would be disastrous. Not to mention the giant privacy gap it presents. True privacy at this point is a dream, but we still have some privacy.

The failure to contain the Ebola outbreak in the Congo is a failure of the international community. COVID showed us that global cooperation on such health crises is necessary and urgent, and we still haven't built up the necessary response mechanism. Issues such as this warrant global solidarity.

A lot of groups have been dropping Claude usage lately. Microsoft, the Pentagon, Meta... Not a good look for a company going public on a $2T valuation.

I thought there was no way this was true and checked. Yep, it's true. He really did say that. Damn... This is so profoundly stupid. I can't believe I'm even reading this.

None of the major AI company CEOs are people worthy of the technology they are unleashing. And they know it, too. They're paranoid and suspicious of each other, which is why they are each racing to be the first to achieve AGI "before the other guys".

AI is... - Accelerating drug discovery - Used to detect diseases early - Optimize global infrastructure Can't only look at the bad and fearmonger.

The US is better at 0 to 1 innovation. China is better at 1 to 100 scaling. Using a truly gigantic amount of subsidies and policy support, with basically the entire state behind them, it's not a surprise they can make cheap EVs.

I'm not deep enough on social media to get this. 😂

It's been a disaster for the world, not only the US. It did not plan sufficiently before beginning the war. This is one of the biggest strategic mistakes of the US.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in the future: 32,500-to-1

Women can also be warriors? It's not a term only used for men. I'm not following. Petey wasn't even talking about women.

"Listen...look... If you don't have money in the stock market (the GREATEST in the HISTORY of OUR COUNTRY), you're just not very smart..."

The idea of Trickle Down Economics was made during a time when investment and business meant jobs at positions with actual work. They couldn't have imagined how much the world would automate, globalize, and innovate. It was obsolete decades ago.

No way, the country controlled by terrorists poses a threat to Western countries? Who would have thought? 🤔

The result is short term benefits at the cost of long term relationships.

They are "hyper" focused on fearmongering as their main selling point, instead of the main positives, such as increasing productivity, wages, opportunities for creativity, and improving science.

000

I'm not paying $2T for it. Whoever wants to drink the cold soup can do so.

020

They promote their models to businesses so they can "improve" their work, and then launch competitive products, like ChatGPT/Claude Health, Finance, Code, and so on. Actions speaking very loudly.
