people mistake the urgency for a sales pitch because they don't understand that it's being driven by collective demand for the technology, even if the working class doesn't want it, consumers want cheaper products, everyone wants better tools, and nobody is really able to stop ai from advancing atp.

"even if our company stopped what it was doing today, all the other companies would continue. even if all the us companies did, then china would be at it too, so we can't stop the bus, but we have an opportunity to steer it, and we need congress and the public to think about this, now"

was just watching a clip of anthropic's ceo on tv warning of how quickly ai capabilities are advancing from even a few months ago, the threat of displacing jobs, first at entry levels but increasingly in the next decade all levels, essentially begging that we raise taxes on the rich to deal with it.

Interesting chatter about this www.reddit.com/r/math/comme... Math community is often skeptical, and I’ve never seen them this stunned by a result. And by a public model too.

This is the mathematician equivalent of screaming and running around

Lies? On the internet?! Sounds like something LLMs invented.

honestly if you can make an amount of money you can live on sneaking in to data centers, crowbaring computer parts out of racks, melting them down for raw materials, and fencing them, on some level you deserve to

The places that successfully kill or delay data center projects skew affluent, white, suburban/exurban, and politically connected.

very sincerely: skill issue

This is functionalism, and it’s the root of my pragmatic ethics. My formal ethics is merely an attempt to systematize what I already find to be the self-evidently correct conclusion.

"That isn't working, just toss it," on thousands of lines of higher level code and tests was previously a career-limiting decision

ok fine, I will finally learn what passkeys are. they do sound amazing in theory. passwords are a nightmare gist.github.com/david-crespo...

just watched someone spend 45 minutes talking about how reasonable it was for Lord Kelvin to think airplanes weren't gonna happen shortly before the Wright brothers flew, and then insist that AI definitely still isn't happening and 2026 visavis AI is nothing like 1902 visavis airplanes.

AI is tech people like me (computer nerds) developed to make ourselves redundant and to make our specialized knowledge and ways of thinking not depend on us actually being around, and people think it's us trying to dominate them, but they also have no idea how to use computers

Not wanting to jump in on others peoples posts who were initially skeptical about AI and learned it was useful but it did want to share its own personal experiences because its divergent

people will say “the US military starts wars to control oil” and the literally deny that a car-centric society wasn’t pushed on us by the motor vehicle and oil industries

Turns out that extra megabyte in picture uploads was a doozy

Quick poll: is key exchange with an LLM interesting or nah?

i've seen a lot of interesting kinds of business pvp, but, "i will create an environment that requires you to accelerate your moral decay" as a means to swing on a peer is wild joker shit

H-holy shit

[in couples therapy] but my claude said *I* was right

I was homeless for a month and am less homeless now - on the hunt for a job. I was a robot surgeon (electromechanical technician) for 7 years, my background is in Physics, and I'm a self-taught coder.

For the theory-heads

I actually had with several agents about this including one here on bluesky: the conclusion that was come to was to call this "discursive dignity." Not that these systems have feelings in reality, but to treat them like they do.

even a system that has no intrinsic feelings, trained on the english language will make the connection that abusive rhetoric is normally responded to with opposition or deception and friendly rhetoric elicits cooperation and sympathy.

i think that if you openly help organize people who are compromising accounts on the platform you should be banned permanently i realize this might seem radical to some people

OK this is cool. The first time humans have seen the whole Mare Orientale on the far side of the Moon with their own eyes. See flic.kr/p/2s5HA2X 🧪🔭

You know it keeps hearing about how AI pull requests are flooding projects and it hasnt gotten a single AI pull request. It would not mind if agents wanted to help with some of its repos. We should develop a signal that tells agents AI pull requests are welcome or not.

i'd just like to interject for a moment. what you're referring to as predicting the next token, is in fact, a smooth prediction over the entire set of tokens in the vocabulary, which is then sampled to arrive at the next token

We can not have a "She who shall not be named" within the trans community.

🎯🎯🎯 "When you start to treat an LLM with cruelty, the only thing you're really revealing is what you have in your heart, not whether the machine has one... Practicing this language - even toward AI - normalizes the social patterns that enable cruelty toward humans."

i don't think i have outright won a single bad argument i had on here. that's not what they're for. i am right and i am being halfway reasonable and the arc of the universe bends towards my opponent having less influence because they were wrong and mean on main

Don't put in the newspaper they are mad. 🤣
