Ed Zitron is one of the more malicious actors in and around AI. AI companies have to sell you a product and service, Ed gets to sell you what you want to hear

One of the reasons that the willful blindness about AI from people with platforms on the left is shortsighted is that “hope it goes away” doesn’t have a great track record as a strategy for contesting control of new political domains and technologies.

Very clear that California/PNW style libertarian progressivism has failed politically. Midwest/NYC is the only possible future for liberal and left wing politics in the US

American progressives should do themselves a favor and develop a sense of distinction between AI as an industry and AI as a technology. They have confounded the two and themselves

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

I think I’m pretty much completely done with social media tbh. Nobody here has any genuine curiosity about the world anymore and only wants to be a hot take artist. I fall prey to this too. It’s a drag and exhausting no matter where you go online

two interesting things to note already from researching the history of ICE: - DHS is only 22 years old. - it was formed as a *centralization of 22 other government agencies into a singular agency reporting to the executive branch* and a large part of the population was chill with it, because 9/11

METR: how long a task an AI can successfully do without supervision doubles roughly every 7 months across several task domains xcancel.com/METR_Evals/s...

A tweet by METR (@METR_Evals) reads:

“METR previously estimated that the time horizon of AI agents on software tasks is doubling every 7 months.

We have now analyzed 9 other benchmarks for scientific reasoning, math, robotics, computer use, and self-driving; we observe generally similar rates of improvement.”

Below the tweet is a graph titled “AI time horizons are increasing in many domains”, showing task length (at 50% success rate) on the y-axis (log scale, ranging from 1 second to 4 hours) and model release date on the x-axis (ranging from 2018 to 2026).

A thick green line labeled “METR-HRS (Original Time Horizons)” shows a roughly exponential trend upward, with many benchmark points clustered around it. Benchmarks include:
• Mock AIME, GPQA Diamond, Tesla FSD, LiveCodeBench, SWE-bench Verified, and MATH—plotted close to or above the trendline.
• RLBench, WebArena, and OSWorld—plotted below or deviating from the main trend.

The chart suggests a consistent increase in AI’s ability to handle longer and more complex tasks across diverse domains. The trend line is shaded to indicate uncertainty or variability in the estimates

One of my most evergreen takes ngl. Has lasted even longer than I thought

Okay. I've smoked and had a Red Bull and now my thoughts feel coherent. I don't necessarily think agent architecture is untenable from a technical sense, I do think powerful agents are possible, but l'm skeptical they will be worth running.
The supervisory architecture alone will take a lot of work and capital to build and maintain, and ultimately a lot of ppl will simply not be comfortable completely offloading decision making to a machine, meaning some human intervention will be needed either way. And at that point what's the purpose of paying extra $ for an agent when a human with an index of well constructed prompt flows can accomplish the same thing?

this! the trick to using LLMs is to use them for things that are slow for you to do yourself but fast for you to verify; this set varies somewhat from person to person and you should be aware of your own strengths and weaknesses and how they interact with the strengths and weaknesses of the LLM.

Despite my love for AI, I’m still a huge believer in and user of Google et al, but imo LLMs are *much* better than traditional search at answering ambiguous questions. At a bare minimum you can get a direction to go googling in

This is likely based on the probably correct assumption that LLMs can solve the moderation problem. Plus if you have invented the Do Anything algorithm you should probably try to use to it to Do Everything
