The real "bitter lesson" is that the goalposts keep moving. The original "bitter lesson" was that "general strategies with high compute tend to outperform expert systems" Oh but now that's not good enough, the AI needs to play and experiment and *that* is the *real* bitter lesson.

It's all just smoke and mirrors

The AI doomers are still around but the vibe has shifted. Rather than the prosaic, holier-than-thou attitude of the previous years, the entire tone has shifted to "poor us, we're the chosen few... but no one gets it... no one is listening... oh well... le sigh" Such an interesting phenomenon .

Magna contentio aeterna est

ex nihilo, ad nihilum

That unmatched sense of satisfaction when you have the most powerful AI available at your fingertips but you're so content you have no further questions.

I'm considering moving here from x (Twitter) because of rampant anti semitism and the fact that x is becoming an all out race to the bottom.

I hear that AI is really unpopular here..

In 2026 an AI will do your taxes for you, and it will find every single exception, exemption, and loophole that applies to you.

If there was a human who could do everything that LLMs can do today, they'd be the most famous person on the planet.

This is madness. If other countries want to sell us solar on the cheap so we can expedite adoption of clean energy, let them. Either climate change is a crisis, or it isn't. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

Found a great "Starter Pack" list for AI here on bluesky

Who's good to follow in the AI, psychedelic, blockchain space? Other than the inimitable @samradofficial.bsky.social ?

Oh hi I'm here now.
