It's almost hard to imagine today, that merely 30 years ago this was mainstream TV. Ordinary Joes and Janes watched this and discussed during the diner. Incredible how for down the drain have we gone... www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5k4...

Summary of what is going on at X

In my mind Waymo's were always effectively trolleys following a "virtual cable". But the fact they got bricked in a power outage makes this analogy too real. And hilariously ironic. Also, while on topic, those who gloat about Tesla not having this problem are total clowns.

I randomly clicked on this podcast since it seemed like something I'd be interested in. And boy oh boy did I _not_ regret. If you follow me you most certainly won't regret either... www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmJT...

GPT-5 underwhelming launch seems to me like a "common knowledge" moment for AI. Now everyone knows everyone knows AGI is a pipe dream and ain't gonna happen with LLMs. The run for the exits is going to be a one for history books.

Excellent post. #AI deplet.ing/the-copilot-...

Much of the AI hype is hype. Most or all food delivery robots are driven by low cost remote workers. Waymo admits that every two miles or so there is a human intervention. Humanoids demos are tele-oped. Here is an AI powered coding app revealed. How many others? www.businesstoday.in/technology/n...

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

🤔

I have a few old iPods that I maintain and even modified somewhat, but this guy took it to another level 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SerEuqAlAA&ab_channel=ZacBuilds

Let me guess, we are in the season when a certain executive of a certain car company promises autonomous robotaxis at some point "next year" ? I've seen this movie before. Every quarter since freaking 2016...

Saw this posted on LinkedIn. I guess I'd probably agree.

You need to be lobotomized to believe any of this Optimus nonsense. It is million robotaxis to the third power hyperlooped all the way to Mars and back.

I'm sure as heck glad I don't have a Tesla, but if I had one, I'd exchange it for a Yugo if there were no other cars.

X.com really feels like x.ru these days…

I've been thinking about this for a while now, we all keep talking about the gains in productivity from computers, but there also is the ongoing feeling that we've lost something along the way. This guy I just randomly found on YT captures this perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4B...

Good summary of the most disgraceful and cringeworthy display of political buffoonery certainly I've ever witnessed in my life and probably in the entire modern history. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDoc...

War is peace. Dictator is an ally. Invaded is the aggressor. Tariffs are paid by foreigners. Full self driving needs to be "supervised". George Orwell is rolling in his grave.

Never felt more embarrassed holding american passport before. Looking forward to answering all the "WTF?" questions when I visit Poland this summer again...

This is a very interesting discussion we are not having... www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

AI this, AI that, but note how all the new good ideas are still originated by humans? Even new ideas to "apply AI" new ideas to "train AI", new "AI company logos". It's all good old human intelligence and creativity at work. AI only regurgitates stuff seen on the Internet.

When the history books are written about this period, nobody will believe anyone could have believed all the nonsense that apparently everyone now believes.

I've got nothing to add... www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0V5...

Full deepseek is <1TB download, so technically speaking you can fit a compressed version of the _entire_ Internet on one of these. In fact twice over. Let that sink in - compressed knowledge of the whole Internet on something the size of a fingernail and costing less than $200.

Found a full version of the photo!

The biggest surprise to AI bubble inflators (deepseek kinda has that vibe) is when the public decides that these LLMs are actually good enough for what they are, esp. if hosted cheaply and locally.And even if there is something asymptotically closer to "AGI" it ain't worth $200/m

It really does feel like it's the end of cloud hosted proprietary subscription based #AI. www.youtube.com/watch?v=clJC...

The #AI influencers who were buzzing with enthusiasm two years ago on how GPT will 10x software engineer performance and dinosaurs who won't use it will be out of a job in a few months, are ... ... strangely quiet lately.

If you deploy a chatbot on your website for customer support you take the responsibility for its actions. Or at least so the court says. And since LLMs _always_ can hallucinate, what could possibly go wrong? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7Lh...

The fact that an objectively really good news for #AI, that you actually don't need a billion dollars to train a pretty good LLM has good chance of blowing up the AI bubble is some pretty massive dose of irony.

2017 AI will replace radiologists, 2022 well not really... 2019 AI will replace truck drivers, 2023 well not really... 2022 AI will replace software engineers, 2025 well not really... 2025 AI will cure cancer and provide endless prosperity, ...

The can of worms that this opens is much uglier than even I anticipated. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9X6...

I have a new level of respect for CEOs who actually build and ship products (even if flawed ones) and don't feel the need to run around pontificating about stuff they really have no idea about, or worse yet make some outrageous predictions about the future and pump Ponzi schemes.

FrontierMath my ass. Marching towards AGI one fraud at a time.

This is incredible. And highlights the core danger of using generative #AI for anything of relevance. It's not when you play with it that is dangerous. It's when you train yourself to rely on it and then accidentally use it for something important. www.youtube.com/watch?v=szQQ...

It's almost hard to believe that "Starship" is made by the same company that made Falcon 9. But it seems to be a broader pattern because it's equally as hard to believe that Cybertruck is made by the same company that made Model S. There is a really simple explanation though...

Seventh flight of "Starship" vs seventh flight of Saturn V some 55 years ago... But the booster landing was👌

Seems like a good day to post this.

In general if anyone feels the need to keep assuring the public he knows how to accomplish some very ambitions goal (whatever it may be), you can be almost certain that person has no idea how to do it, but for whatever reason he needs the public to believe he can.

There is a point at which cringe becomes so cringy that it actually becomes art once again... www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7Pn...

Internet in 2025

@freya.bsky.social nails the more and more common experience in the Internet where majority of information is gen-AI generated sludge. This is something I've pointed out a few years ago. We are rapidly approaching a point when Internet drowns in noise. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opB...

Three ingredients make the #AI magic show happen: - lack of intuitions among the general public about the vastness of the Internet/written text archives - good old data leakage at a massive scale - Eliza effect

Watching a kid learn to ride a bike. Always fascinating. Show me a humanoid robot able to spontaneously learn to control a machine like that, with minimal supervision and instruction and do it in a few hours. We don’t need fancy benchmarks to understand we are nowhere near AGI.

LOL. I guess self-driving could be seen as a kind of a weird digital entertainment...
