I  know your goal is to try to make life as hard as possible for immigrants.

Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.

PM Carney to Trump's face: "Canada is not for sale — won’t be for sale ever." Trump's face looks anguished and angry as he forces a smile for the cameras. Trump: "I must say Canada is stepping up their military participation, but never say never."

Newsletter: I am sick and god damn tired of everybody pretending that generative AI is the next big thing. The media is complicit in accepting fantastical nonsense - both in the numbers put out by OpenAI and the silly jobs created by Anthropic - and it has to stop. www.wheresyoured.at/reality-check/

I would love a Proton phone as an alternative to Google or Apple. With privacy at its core. Europe has the know-how, where can we get the funding? #Proton #ProtonPhone

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

"When trying to develop a measure of intelligence, it’s essential to avoid Goodhart’s law: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.” As a community of AI researchers, we really need to figure that one out." @melaniemitchell.bsky.social aiguide.substack.com/p/did-openai...
