English: I got a lecture from my 18-year-old brother yesterday because I said I don't see the fucking point in anything anymore, studying, getting motivated, etc

he hit me with: there were people who survived the dictatorship and slavery, what kind of cowardice is this?

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever
A tweet by SarahStarberry that says "oh god read the vertical axis" on top of a chart measuring AI models' release dates and model numbers rather than any real capabilities

Thanks for calling it out! If you're into this kind of thing, you might want to check out Oki's Weird Stories if you haven't already. www.youtube.com/@okisweirdst... It's a similar format, but I'd be absolutely shocked if he ever made anything up for his channel.

Unironically the ruling class are just trying to recreate feudalism using AI. This is just "the peasants don't need to learn how to read or write when in reality the only skill they do need is knowing how to work the field. They have priests to rely on if they for whatever reason ever need to read"

Recursion can certainly happen and is evident in current behaviors; self-improvement is specific to an instance and at constant and compounding risk of deteriorating.

The fact that AI swarms modify behavior based on specialized knowledge is effectively meaningless without external validation of what they found; an ill-placed hallucination can crash the knowledge-base entirely that the structure relies on.

A Space Force of some kind was pretty much inevitable, so I don't really care that Trump created it. However, an AI Force is the stupidest shit I've ever heard of, especially when a hallucinated intelligence report almost started a hot war with China last week.

One of the worst trends on the modern internet is the spread of bullshit psychology, especially when it’s dressed up in bullshit therapy-speak.

Even when faced with a situation where both parties can mutually benefit with virtually no friction between them, he will always take the stupidest, most venal route through it. Canada is the perfect example.

If you cover news about a subject but you don't cover related politics, you're probably an idiot, but definitely a coward.

We should write down what a POTUS is and is not allowed to do somewhere and then make it so that there are checks and balances on their power.

I hate it when I have to intentionally write something sloppier than normal in order to make it read like something my my brain sloshed together rather than a dozen GPUs typing things out probabilistically in a dark, buzzing room somewhere.

One has to wonder what, if anything, can break through to the ~35% of Americans that are completely divorced from the situation we've found ourselves in. If it's not a stupid, racist pedophile plundering the nation's coffers and installing an authoritarian regime, what could it possibly be?

Chinese cars are no more a data risk than American-made cars. The chief difference is that they're much cheaper on average, so it'd completely disrupt the corporate captors of our market.
