I misread this as meaning they are going to stop selling XBoxes..... but at this point, MS spinning off XBox or halting sales of the physical console for at least a bit are a real possibility.

When you buy a good app, it’s good because a person found it useful IME. Shovelware and now AIWare was never used by people so it doesn’t have that same connection to reality.

This is the same guy who would have boosted musak as a replacement for music back in the day. I really think these people want a tool that, like Muzak is used to manipulate people’s emotions. They are not interested in concerts, they want to stream feelings straight into your brain.

It’s so troubling how part of the turn-on for them isn’t the ability to “create” but the ability to devalue what others create

One of my main mental buoys right now as ai eats the world is Bea Wolf 2. I don't think I can write any better than that, and it was hard, and every time I see a book get withdrawn (for secretly being ai) after winning many awards I think of the ballad of John Henry racing the steam drill*.

Interesting new data collection from the nice people at the Sustainable AI Group. Most of this is estimates, particularly the closed models where OpenAI etc don't report energy or climate impacts. This stood out: there is *no* increase in model efficiency cleerdash.sustainableaigroup.com

a chart showing no increase in efficiency for each new model

For the sanle task, the chdce of modd can change energy use by >30X
is an imperfect guide to impwt: in about 1 5 he«i-to-head
comparisons, the cheaper nudel had the higher estimated energy.

Recently I got into an argument about whether or not Tron (1982) was bad. I very much think that movie was quite bad in many way, also I really like it. They didn't not think I could like something and also call it bad.

Agree, the threat is not the AI, but rather trusting the people pushing it.

I know we're all laughing about this since it's actually right but I do think we need a way to prove that these things are spouting falsehoods too.

The monkey's paw.... curls I'm not saying this is all bad, but there was a time in recent memory, before Tim Cook where they were releasing some stinky products. I would welcome some actual accessories, like mice, trackpads, monitors and stuff though.

I was thinking about this theory and need to find more opinions, cause there's not a lot to support that neo was made by code injection by the oracle via cookie but it's a fun idea. scifi.stackexchange.com/a/233145

At what point does Neo become "The One"?

At the end of the trilogy, there is no doubt that Neo is "The One". But back to the first movie, it was strongly hinted by the Oracle that he was not yet a "The One", meaning there is some process in

It’s always been my view that she should run for Senate. She can handily win and keep this seat. And she’d be the right hand a democratic president needed and a legendary lioness of the senate besides. She’s shown real talent as a legislator & the caucus respects her.

"I belong to a cult. Someone did some research that undermines the core tenets of my cult and came up with a catchy phrase that makes it harder to recruit more people to my cult. This makes me sad."

Screencap of tweet on X from @jackclarkSF (Jack Clark):

"stochastic parrot" was a mimetically-fit cognitive virus that spread from 2021-2025; it temporarily blinded many gifted people to the nature of AI progress, burning up crucial years in which they could have helped think through the response to the situation.

When stuff gets “uninvented” what is really happening is that the base goods needed for it are what’s gone, like you can’t make crts without special lead glass and they got rid of those factories.

Microsoft's data center subcontractor in New Jersey illegally runs a bunch of gas "backup" generators on site, figuring they won't get caught or will just eat the wrist-slap fines if they do. Regulatory enforcement is so bad that a third party had to take drone images to get the state to act.
