Good thread

Figure 03 sorting packages. Speed is much improved.

one thing that feels distinctly different about the AI era is how much companies are expected to innovate and move faster and imo it feels kinda bad even as a consumer it feels like customer taste is being outpaced by ticket velocity

watching the new game of thrones spinoff was amazing but also surprisingly triggering second to last episode was hard. so many different depictions of suffering that felt, idk, realistic somehow?

New mouse skates :)

“We are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget” is pretty funny given how much they seem to have forgotten

just clicked on Santa Clara vs Kentucky in the trending topics bar, thought it was an exotic court case

it's okay to do good things for the wrong reasons eg: hosting so you seem cool and a cute girl will notice you, instead of primarily so people have a good time

And the tokens are so cheap. You got to understand. We're spending a lot in the aggregate, but in the moment it is "spend a nickel to for 10 minutes of being literally Superman". Like yes I'll just keep spending nickels actually. I will never stop being Superman at that price.

Successfully tracked all my meals today AND figured out some annoying stuff with my agent orchestration platform AND had like 4 meetings AND had a hard convo with a client lfg

one funny thing: when character models are relatively simple, all of them looking the ~same is very intuitively forgivable and even charming when character models are hyperrealistic, it becomes freaky

it moved her eyes closer together because that's what it thinks people want to see

the one with the grandma where the only change it makes is to give her more wrinkles omg

I think when someone experiences imposter syndrome but is partially correct, this is whats going on. They were wrong about the ways in which they were an imposter

More and more I think about one of the biggest themes and plot points of The Age Of Innocence The whole movie is about two characters in 1890s aristocratic New York having an affair while in polite society. They think they’re getting away with it, feeling all the pain of secrecy and lying

might log off of bsky for a bit until trump conflict stuff winds down or becomes truly unignorable. rn it's just really painful to see

a computer is a friend

what relationship do techie autistic online trans communities have with normie trans people? for instance, the times in the past that i have gone on grindr in major cities, there are just... normal basic trans people on there who seem to be living pretty normal lives

I wonder how much of this persists because kids don't know it can be any other way.

When I wrote this I really thought it was some minor thing that very few people would be interested in. I had no idea how many kids were affected and how much anger there was out there about it.

In a survey of 1,000 hiring managers, 59% say they emphasize AI’s role in layoffs because it “is viewed more favorably by stakeholders than saying layoffs or hiring freezes are driven by financial constraints.” Only 9% said AI had fully replaced any roles.

i read this and it's interesting but the horrifying overhang of this story is "mrna vaccines make it relatively easy to cure cancer actually, and the main obstacle is that the FDA just banned trials of them"

Feeling very grim about the future rn :(

the thing stopping me from making a million personal apps rn is basically just testflight limitations

how soon before eg apple gives every user an "app playground" where they get to vibegenerate an icloud-synced guaranteed-safe personal app that covers all their needs?

the todo list app is dead long live the todo list app

this is the future we want

The increasingly-hyperbolic METR graph is actually good news for safety. We just have to survive a brief singularity in March, and then afterwards the models will never be able to do more than undo a few hours' worth of work

I think this is an important pattern that will become more important. Our society is laden with well-intentioned rules and policies that do limited harm only because the humans don’t implement them faithfully.

matt taibbi and jynxzi look very similar... and both their names end with a conspicuous i...

golly

Each frontier AI model seems to use a little under a year's worth of a square mile of farmland's water to train. I think about this as the country having 4 square miles of farmland sectioned off to grow some of the most popular consumer products in history.

If your research uses GPT-4o, a model introduced almost 2 years ago and already retired, don't call it "new" research. It's a relic outdated by o1, o3, o4-mini, GPT-4.1, GPT-4.5, GPT-5, GPT-5.1, GPT-5.2, GPT-5.3 Codex, and GPT-5.4. Research like that has little relevance for where we are now.
