I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace.

And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

thinkin of this tweet for no particular reason

I remember when that guy first posted "I feel bad for our country. But this is tremendous content." People were so selfish self-righteously upset about it. But never has a man so perfectly captured the zeitgeist.

Lovely piece of writing, made me reflect a lot on my relationship with my dad <3

How you look to actual artists when you post your cute little AI cartoon of yourself

This rocked. Here's to you guys, the best buggers on the East Coast.🎧🎤

Hey, anything to tick away the moments that make up a dull day

Blow Out (can’t tell if it’s low budget or just schlocky)

they should really start interviewing leftists who have been clearly correct since 2015 instead of these absolute rubes

For the last couple of months, I have had this strange experience: Person after person — from artificial intelligence labs, from government — has been coming to me saying: It’s really about to happen. We’re about to get to artificial general intelligence. What they mean is that they have believed, for a long time, that we are on a path to creating transformational artificial intelligence capable of doing basically anything a human being could do behind a computer — but better. They thought it would take somewhere from five to 15 years to develop. But now they believe it’s coming in two to three years, during Donald Trump’s second term. They believe it because of the products they’re releasing right now and what they’re seeing inside the places they work. And I think they’re right. If you’ve been telling yourself this isn’t coming, I really think you need to question that. It’s not web3. It’s not vaporware. A lot of what we’re talking about is already here, right now. I think we are on the cusp of an era in human history that is unlike any of the eras we have experienced before. And we’re not prepared in part because it’s not clear what it would mean to prepare. We don’t know what this will look like, what it will feel like. We don’t know how labor markets will respond. We don’t know which country is going to get there first. We don’t know what it will mean for war. We don’t know what it will mean for peace.

I recently used Deep Research, which is a new OpenAI product. It’s on their pricier tier. Most people, I think, have not used it. But it can build out something that’s more like a scientific analytical brief in a matter of minutes. I work with producers on the show. I hire incredibly talented people to do very demanding research work. And I asked Deep Research to do this report on the tensions between the Madisonian Constitutional system and the highly polarized nationalized parties we now have. And what it produced in a matter of minutes was at least the median of what any of the teams I’ve worked with on this could produce within days. I’ve talked to a number of people at firms that do high amounts of coding, and they tell me that by the end of this year or next year they expect most code will not be written by human beings. I don’t really see how this cannot have labor market impact. I think that’s right. I’m not a labor market economist, but I think that the systems are extraordinarily capable. In some ways, I’m very fond of the quote: The future is already here — it’s just unevenly distributed. Unless you are engaging with this technology, you probably don’t appreciate how good it is today. And it’s important to recognize that today is the worst it’s ever going to be. It’s only going to get better.

Ezra Klein may be the single most credulous dope in the world. Deep Research is total crap, and a "former AI expert to the Biden white house" spouting fan fiction about AGI is useless, wasteful and only seeks to help valuations of AI companies. Despicable.

LLMs are the great dunce mask-off moment. If you think these things are magical you are credulous beyond redemption.

How would a person who doesn't have the knowledge have the ability to tell between correct and incorrect answers? How would they know what to ask?

Surely they'll determine this was just an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm

The absolute glee some are displaying in blaming Palestinians, and people who protested on their behalf, for their own ethnic cleansing is a strategic error (obvs you target the decision maker), a political error (obvs you need those votes), and a moral error (obvs fix your hearts or die).

They will soon be calling me MR BLUESKY
