The newest deepseek model just dropped, it was developed for a fraction of OpenAIs costs with a relatively identical set of results, using less power. Once again.

If voters don’t care, it means they’re underinformed. The arms race for AI, particularly AGI or ASI will match the race for the nuclear bomb in its significance.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

From a thread about why the Metaverse bit it so hard when VR spaces are already a thing. My thought: because he wasn't selling it as a fun optional toy, he was selling it as Where You And I Will Spend The Rest Of Our Lives
all the demos were like "look at this fantastical world where you can DO ANYTHING...like sit in a conference room! Go to a meeting!" no thanks I already have to attend teams meetings while sitting in a cubicle in a physical office building, id rather not add another asinine layer to this experience

some cool synergy: seeing a guy arguing in favor of LLMs having reason for dozens of replies, failing to make any headway with his interlocutor before finally posting very long screencaps of his exchanges with an LLM where he asks if it has reason and it responds "yes" as proof of his position
this is another thing social media does: works as a whetstone, or a wound to worry. state your beliefs as if they are not being taken seriously enough by SOME PEOPLE, then wait for the countervoices of Nobody to roll in and let you sharpen your blade, reopen the scars, toughen the callus
