Higgsfield AI is creating these movie trailers to advertise it's videogen pipeline while using the likeness of real actors. A-list actors that surely would have their likeness protected. how is this a viable business strategy?

with a sufficiently powerful Transformer model we should be able to predict the next funny number before it occurs and prevent it from destroying the world, as each time the number causes more psychic harm
![Comic. [Banner: Mathematical Society: 2025 Meeting.] PERSON 1 with bun: Any other new developments from the year to cover before we wrap? PERSON 2: Oh, the teens picked a new funny number. PERSON 3 with short hair: Aww, I’m glad to hear they’re still doing that. PERSON 4 with ponytail: I’ll add it to the list.

i'll just let Opus 5.0 figure it out for me... except by then there will be new affordances offered by it. so maybe then I'll get Opus 5.5 in Claude OS figure it out... but it will have even different affordances that before... so then maybe Opus 6.0 in Claude City will help me figure it out?

there would be a lot of this sentiment should aliens ever visit Earth, from the disruption to society that would inevitably follow even if they did nothing but show themselves. and the more fundamental Copernican shock to our sense of place in the cosmos.
Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

a killer feature for bluesky x AI - customized UI skins. why isn't this a thing yet, given how easy it is to create web content with LLMs?

if i were a kid, two feet of snow falling on Christmas Day would be a gift from Santa (especially since i live by a bunny slope for tobogganing). but i don't, and so it just means an hour of shoveling tomorrow.
well, it does look beautiful too

your moat as a human worker is that you have privileged access to the real world, unlike an LLM. enjoy it while it lasts.

something i've been mulling, but forgot until just now, is how a theory of a good future, or utopia, must incorporate the "right" to make mistakes. not a codified right, but a cultural consensus that the journey matters more than the destination, and a part of agency is being able to mess up.

time to beat a dead horse again - the 'general' intelligence factor in humans comes from our ability to build and use tools to explore and navigate any arbitrary environment, given sufficient time (and/or enough humans to coordinate with)

the hidden assumption here is that only humans are live players, the only agents in the game. it's easier to grapple with, if you don't have to introduce a new variable that's entirely new, alien even.

let it not be said that gambling is only a poor man's vice. this whole saga with people betting real money against a guy likely going through LLM psychosis is sad. you should know better than to take advantage of someone in such a state.

what's the name for the phenomenon where your first instinct is to go slow and carefully, but that's more likely to mess up than going in fast? thinking about flipping pancakes (yes i'm having them for dinner)

training for the test works in humans because we learn meta-cognitive skills like how to focus, how to study, how to absorb knowledge quickly. i'm not sure the same applies to LLMs that are trained for the test.
