If there is a true successor to Jeffrey Epstein, Brock Pierce seems the most likely figure. Just an incredible amount of shady stuff that can be connected to him.

A lot of the discussion of SF culture here seems to be ignoring that their sex ratio is heavily male. Not surprising that the culture there would begin to resemble a 19th century railroad town when the population dynamics resemble a 19th century railroad town.

I am just so deeply disappointed by the behavior and intelligence of Americans. There really needs to be a state law in NY preventing local NIMBYs from baselessly stopping solar and battery power. www.timesunion.com/capitol/arti...

When we bring back USAID we should maybe rename it to USAID.005 and put it in statute that it should always spend 0.5% of GDP on effective aid for global development and health. This would be a rise in funding from the previous ~0.3% but would be sold as a decrease because the average American

The fact that a bunch of lefty state legislators signed onto this ridiculous anti-nuclear fearmongering letter is unbelievable Cuomo teamed up with RFK Jr. shut down a nuclear plant and it caused NY emissions to skyrocket!

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵
Martin Kao, CEO of defense contractor Navatek, poses next to Sen. Susan Collins for a photo. Collins is holding a model of a boat in her hands. Behind them is a large sign with the Navatek logo.

How would one make RL act more as positive reinforcement for LLM's and not as negative reinforcement? Is this just a silly question?

The prior probability that a biolab is for cancer research or something like that is close to a certainty and matches with Anthropic's and especially DeepMind's previous work. I absolutely do not think that medical research using AI is bad. It is definitely should be regulated!

I know a lot are freaking out about this, but honestly: good? You can't just let another country carry out attacks on your territory and do nothing. Russia started this, they have agency, they can stop at any time.

This is what happens when the President of the United States coddles Putin, signals he won’t honor American obligations toward NATO, and starts a losing war against Iran that shows his weakness. No one has emboldened and empowered Putin more than Donald Trump.

European leaders prepare public for ‘intensified threat’ from Putin
However, NATO sees no risk of “imminent attack” despite the fresh warnings from countries such as Poland, Lithuania, France and the Netherlands.

I really appreciate the people who post on here rather than X for ethical reasons even though they are far more likely to be personally attacked on here. Far too few accounts made the move and this has made it harder for those who did.

People seem to really dislike utilitarianism* and I honestly don't quite see why. In my experience, people often dislike ethical philosophers and then assume that somehow they are making philosophy-free choices in their daily lives. *Possibly it's the weird moral dilemmas leaking into public?

Your reminder that for all his hesitations on Gaza, President Biden did halt delivery of 2000-pound bombs to Israel in May 2024 and Trump lifted the hold in January 2025. www.reuters.com/world/us/whi...

Trump makes 2,000-pound bombs available to Israel, undoing Biden pause
The Biden administration's particular concern was over the use of such large bombs in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians in Gaza had taken refuge.

I asked Fable to oneshot Act I Scene 1 of a Shakespearean tragedy about an event that occurred after his death (it picked the execution of Charles I). While the results themselves are fair at best, they are totally free of Claudeslop so consider asking for output in blank verse instead of STE-100.

At 0% of their word: no scientist hoping to get credit can use OpenAI (or maybe other LLM providers) without fear of being scooped. At 100% of their word: no scientist can work in the open without fear of being scooped. Both suppress communication.
