I’m relatively down on renewables before 2030 because I think the immense chinese concentration of solar manufacturing and lack of new battery chemistry are prominent enough roadblocks to stall adoption, but still only relatively
Solar *and batteries* do this, which is the key thing.

that’s precisely what happened with the ESP papers no?
You know how sometimes people will make sensationalist claims to the FBI for the fame and clout of them coming out six years later in a report no one was sure would ever be publicly available
* DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: SOME DOCUMENTS RELEASED CONTAIN UNTRUE AND SENSATIONALIST CLAIMS MADE AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP THAT WERE SUBMITTED TO THE FBI RIGHT BEFORE 2020 ELECTION
* DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE: TO BE CLEAR CLAIMS AGAINST TRUMP ARE UNFOUNDED AND FALSE

I did not have “the Rhode Island Attorney General namesearches into my mentions” on my dance card but I do appreciate the poster’s spirit
I’ll clarify. Sometimes it takes time to find the lead that breaks a case open. But then resolution happens quickly. Does that help?

I had to update after sending on a few fake reels featuring close-cropped video of people talking, slop is getting real good
The reason nobody, but particularly AI critics, wants to engage with the “How did I get tricked by obvious AI generated slop?” question is that they might actually find the reasons responsible for that
I mean, they had no interest in actually engaging their brain on the content, they just wanted to moralize about something That Makes Them Mad. They’ll be no introspection or any other types of review from this by that idiot, cause that’s not the goal here bsky.app/profile/sky....

massively bearish video, these companies have no taste
I will say this for Anthropic: they are at least smart enough to figure out if you want the ultimate red team, go to a newsroom www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...
We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.
