This isn't science. It's religion with a scientific veneer.
How are these claims falsifiable? It's the ever-looming Second Coming but for people who frequently posture as being "above" religion.

'Godfather of AI' says he's 'glad' to be 77 because the tech probably won't take over the world in his lifetime
Geoffrey Hinton estimated a "sort of 10 to 20% chance" that AI systems could one day seize control, but stressed it's impossible to predict exactly.

This is a good example of how conservative elites *know* that their ideology doesn't work.
There hasn't been a more friendly political climate for sexual harassers in the last 30 years, but the proudly "antiwoke" news channel still doesn't want sexual harassers on staff. I wonder why?

This is the single best description of the Democratic party.
No, Democrats, these little auction signs aren't it. You're acting like Wes Anderson characters who don't understand that they're in a Tarantino movie.

did the decline into fascism feel this asinine for observers in the 1920s and 1930s? did they also have a moment where they realized that their new regime was made entirely of perennially toddler-brained assclowns?

what do you think people *in* Final Fantasy think of the chocobo song?
is it like "take me out to the ballgame" and everyone just knows the words and you're always going to hear it at a chocobo event?

Probably says something about the current dialogue on Twitter that the post with the most likes isn’t Bill Kristol or Elons in this exchange
I step away from the computer for a few hours and while I'm away I see the richest man in the world, and our co-president, was busy debating the whiteness of my friend and colleague Bill Kristol.

This headline is incredibly misleading.
They did not "train" a model for $50.
They took an already-trained model (Qwen2.5) funded by a massive corporation (Alibaba) that cost tens-to-hundreds of millions of dollars and nudged it to do slightly better in a single domain.

AI researchers were able to train an AI “reasoning” model for under $50 in cloud compute credits, according to a new research paper.
The model, known as s1, performs similarly to cutting-edge reasoning models on tests measuring math and coding abilities.

"But wishing to justify himself, he said to Jesus, 'And who is my neighbor?'"
I mean yes, there is such a concept in Christianity. It appears quite notably in the letters of Paul, for instance, where it’s a concept he *relentlessly* argues against, and in the Gospel where it’s a concept Jesus very much repeatedly scorns. So it is technically in there!

This entire thread is interesting, but this post alone feels like it could be it's own thread. The WSJ reported just last year that Altman was trying to raise as much as 7 trillion (TR-trillion) dollars to build AI chips.
Would you do anything economically with that much cash to burn?
