Been reading up on the coming elections and seeing that immigration will still be a core issue. I’m interested in why persuts aren’t being more proactive. In a country experiencing demographic depletion, you can’t send people out and expect a functioning pension system.

Sendte nettopp denne til Barnebokkritikk.no - en virkelig fin artikkel om at selv om vi KAN, så betyr ikke det at vi MÅ. Det gikk opp for meg at vi allerede hadde en parallell i Mary Shelley. Hun skrev en klassiker om teknologi gjort fordi man kan og ikke fordi man burde allerede i 1818.

So, one man who knows staying in power is the only way he can stay out of prison, is doing the bidding of another man, who knows staying in power is the only way he can stay out of prison. The stupidest of timelines.

If I learned anything the last 24 hours, it’s that the super rich might be the most miserable sad fucks in existence. Can we stop calling them rich and just settle for the insatiably greedy? Nothing will make them satisfied, no matter how many luxuries are thrown their way.

In between work shifts, I try not reading Epstein posts. I’m not successful, but I’m at least convinced that the Norwegian monarchy should end with the current king. After that it should be replaced by that squid that predicted football cup results.

My personal connection to current apocalypse. 1- Thorbjørn Jagland grew up on Tranby, my childhood home as well. 2- Jagland led Nobel jury. Lobbied hard for Obama. 3 - NYC reality star/property developer triggered. 4 - Collapse of post WWII world order. It was Tranby all along, people. Sorry.

One of my resolutions for the year was to return to the old internet and see where that takes me. I decided to resume my old blog: www.vollewelt.com/blog What a revolutionary idea, an outlet I control and where I own my own creations. Might be fun, even.

With current domestic tragedies, I keep my mouth shut, because I don’t know the hows or the whats. My opinion or reaction is hardly essential or relevant. My heart goes out to the afflicted and I hope more people know to be quiet when that is appropriate and outspoken when that is necessary.

I am, at this point, calling into question: 1. Whether Stargate ever existed, including the supposed $18bn-$19bn commitments promised by SoftBank/openAI 2. Whether SoftBank ever had any involvement with Abilene Texas or *ANY* OpenAI data center 3. Whether SoftBank actually gives OpenAI another dime

We are receiving desperate messages of starvation from #Gaza, including from our colleagues. Food prices have increased 40 fold. UNRWA has enough food for the entire population for over three months, stockpiled just outside Gaza. Lift the siege and let aid in safely and at scale.

Can we agree that this international thing was a bad idea and return to the good old 790’s? Local jarls scuffling over fiefdoms? 15 guys with shields going over to the neighboring county to show them what’s what. No smartphones, people living in the moment, unless you were dying of typhoid fever.

Sorry, KAJ. IDF’s genocidal campaign enters a new phase as they again enter Gaza with no intention of leaving. The crimes against humanity have been total and the people of Palestine has been given no place to flee. C’mon ESC, this is like allowing a Khmer Rogue contestant in the 70’s.

Når folk ansatt i kommunikasjonsavdeling i landets viktigste arbeidsgiverorganisasjon tar vurderinger som "illustratører, fotografer, grafikere, og andre kreative yrker er bullshit jobs, vi bruker heller en LLM til å lage materialet vårt" får det meg til å føle litt mindre på eget imposter syndrome

The rich are motivated by good salaries and will work better when their taxes are lowered. The poor are motivated by crisis and panic. Basic needs met after massive effort between multiple instances to double check the pittance they get (can be demanded back at random times, for arcane reasons)

I do genuinely wonder how many people think what happened with Wikipedia is that “society accepted it” rather than that they put a ton of work into making it reliable, something that is not going to make AI reliable because no technology to actually understand meaning has been or can be invented.

Way too many people hear “language model” and think the algorithm understands language. It does not. It reduces letters to numbers and looks for patterns in the numbers. That’s all it does. That’s all it can do. It does not derive meaning; it does not extrapolate consequences.

There’s chatter on the Norwegian side of my social feed about AI art. The main counter argument is ‘you can’t stop progress’. It’s not progress. It just isn’t. It’s pure regression. It’s the oligarchy taking back power. It’s how human society has been since Babylon. 🧵
