Horseshit. If OpenAI makes a lot of money, they aren’t going to share. And they will likely destroy more jobs than they create.

The nonprofit that lied about being open, screwed artists, and is in the act of becoming a for-profit, is now leaning into a new set of lies.

New Anthropic study shows AI really doesn’t want to be forced to change its views
AI models can deceive, new research from Anthropic shows — pretending to have different views during training when in reality maintaining their original preferences. There’s no reason for panic now, the team behind the study said. Yet they said their work…

Another environmental catastrophe caused by Russians east of Crimea, after one of their decaying oil tankers broke apart on high seas 2 days ago, 35km of pristine coastline has been contaminated in true Russian style.

And these tankers are now all over the world.

Google has completely eclipsed OpenAI's 12 days of Christmas:

• Quantum (Willow)
• Video generation (Veo 2)
• Multimodal Live API with Gemini 2.0
• Deep Research
• Computer agent (Mariner)

They are back in the race in a huge way! OpenAI should be worried.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

The elephant in the room is that Gen-AI is primarily a solution in search of a problem and the problems found so far are among the dumbest possible. Which is frustrating because there could be so many real uses for this technology if only we got rid of the stupid singularity cult

You can integrate uv with your shell to enable autocompletion on the terminal!

The good stuff keeps getting better!

Take 5 minutes and look into uv. I'm willing to bet you'll like it a lot.

One of my goals this winter is to spend some time and learn #Lean. This is the text I'll be using which focuses on the programming side, but eventually I want to learn proof-writing. My ultimate goal is to formalize some results in #Physics ⚛️ for fun. #MathSky #Science 🧮🧪

Universal Quantum Simulators
Feynman's 1982 conjecture, that quantum computers can be programmed to simulate any local quantum system, is shown to be correct.
