The NASDAQ changed its IPO waiting period rules after SpaceX slithered up to it and batted its eyelashes. Thanks to that, just fifteen days after Anthropic IPOs, it'll be able to get listed there and start affecting retirement accounts and passive investors.

Saw Resident Evil. Enjoyable! Does not plod at ALL—plenty of changes in locale, likeable characters (what little characterization there is), and it's a lean hour and a half long. It will challenge your desire to yell things at the screen, but that's because you care what's happening.

Tonight in Wardogs I earned a respectable chunk of change by looking at enemies from a high place through binoculars and snitching on their location to teammates. I didn't even bother investing in a gun.

Wardogs is a very specific kind of Dad Game for folks who have left the twitchy days of CoD and to a lesser extent Battlefield behind but don't want to invest time in beardy fare like ARMA. You can gain XP and money just for driving teammates to "soccer practice," which in this game is "battle."

Screenshot of a tweet which reads "UPDATE: @altxyzofficial just sold the most expensive English Pokemon card of all time. You are looking at a $2,700,000 fire chicken. How's everyone feeling?" There is a photo of the card sealed in a grading sleeve showing it to be rated as a 10–gem mint condition.

So the please-don't-divest tapdance evolves from bonkers self-valuations (the $30t figure from a little while ago) to lining up excuses for revenue not materializing. Kick that can down the road a little harder, my dudes!

Anthropic's models run on terabytes of VRAM. It's not going to "just copy itself to other computers."

Rohan Paul
@rohanpaul_ai
Jacob Coxon's next interview on CBS News (ex Anthropic+Open AI researcher who resigned)

"We can't just unplug it because it could be copying itself over to other computers. Like it's not that difficult to find yourself because an AI is just code. It could transfer itself over the internet to a different place and then you unplug it here, but it's actually still over there and maybe it makes 10,000 copies of itself and they're all cooperating."

Tried Wardogs this evening, refunded at 110 minutes' playtime. Not because I didn't enjoy the game! I learned that rounds last a LONG time and getting through even *one* would take up most of a given weekday evening—I surmised that I wouldn't realistically be sitting down to do that very often.

werner herzog on AI filmmaking (from here www.indiewire.com/features/int...)
Q: A couple years ago at IDFA, I saw this movie "About a Hero," which is this partly Al-generated hybrid documentary that tries to recreate the atmosphere of your films.

A: The intention of this young filmmaker was never to remake any [of my films], but making something in the spirit. And I immediately said, "You will fail. It is such a stupid idea. It's phenomenally, abysmally stupid. I will not take part in it." He wanted me to explain things and have my voice in it.
I said, "You are alone. There's such a thing as free speech, which I respect. So go ahead and fail." And it is a failure, period.
It's so standardized that Al can step in because there's not real storytelling. It's mimicry of something that has happened before. And I welcome Al to replace all the idiots who are into nothing but repeating, repeating, repeating until it's ad nauseam.
When it's ad nauseam, please, please, please let Al step in and do the job.

When the ticker used to denote "equity valuations" is the ticker for the ENTIRE S&P 500, that qualifies as a Yikes. Perhaps even a Big Yikes.

If they need permission from a Marylander to eat them, consider it granted. 🤌 Though really, the effort:satiety ratio prevents blue crabs from constituting a meal. Picking meat out of them at a table is largely a social activity, a thing to do with your hands while you shoot the shit with friends.

Excited to see if 100% black oil sunflower seeds is popular in my bird feeder. I'm testing the switch mostly to see if I can cut down on the amount of less-popular seeds getting scattered out of the feeder by my more discerning visitors.

Thailand. Nine months' pay saved up. Psyches addled from nearly a year of shitty food and seeing the same 20 faces every day. In times to come, old sailors claiming to have been at this port call will weave a legend scarcely believable yet difficult to doubt, spoken in hushed tones over firelight.

people are having fun bagging on the $30T figure but nobody's mentioning that they're running on a log and at the point where they *have* to say numbers like that to stave off a potential exodus "Our company's gonna be worth a jillion gazillion dollars! Honest! Just don't pull your money out!"

I can only imagine how emotionally rough it is to *decide* to sever, much less go through with it, and now we're supposed to hey-c'mon-now the folks who actually get that far? Thankfully, I've never been in that situation, but I'm sure as hell not going to second-guess people who are.
