This is also why agentic LLMs will never live up the hype. Error rates (ie hallucinations, bc those are errors) multiply.

Ex: if you chain two LLMs that individually have 80% success rates, the total success rate is 64%!

Chained 4 times? 41%

Short article and worth a glance. The snowpack out west is crazy low which is not good for the wildfire situation. This summer is going to be crazy.

ICE will be at the World Cup, director says Trump's immigration crackdown fuels a backlash that could affect how fans and teams engage with the World Cup.

ICE plans to have a presence at the World Cup this summer, acting director Todd Lyons said Tuesday.

Yeah. Lots of AI hipsters seem to be those that are simply trying to grift off of it.

IMO: Modern software dev, which leans heavily on Agile, is mostly guessing if something works or if a feature hits.

In this way, software development tends not to understand the problem as a practice.

Yeah. And recent email dumps are clearly show Epstein had mind boggling access AND influence to the most powerful men and institutions on earth.

She likely knew and saw this first hand, YEARS ago. It must have been terrifying.

Her career in HR is def smoked.

Changing lanes to consulting, life coach or whatever she's aiming for is about the only thing she CAN do.

Only difference here is Trump is still president and can very likely do some shady shit to prevent this.

This has zero chance of success.

Also stupefying about space data centers:
- Shock/Vibe: launch is like slamming your phone on the ground repeatedly for minutes
- Radiation: high energy particles require shielding, special IC architecture
- Repairability: duh!
- Reliability: see above
- Obsolescence: compute HW gets old fast

Bezos and Musk didn't invest in WaPo or Twitter to make money.

Any analysis that views these investments thru that lens is farcical. It's not about money at all.

It is a siege of power; a pawn on a chessboard; prestige; control; ego stroking; narcissism.

Disagree, only bc that would mean he has a capacity to not be a total and complete asshole.

He could not will himself to be decent, no matter how hard he tries or how big the prize.

“.. Trump has hung a for-sale sign on the Oval Office at a scale and frequency that is untoward and unprecedented. It’s also true that a Republican-controlled Congress and the courts are unlikely to do a thing about it.”

I was a White House ethics lawyer.

I used to advise people not to even accept a free cup of coffee from someone who had interests before them. And staff followed those rules.

I can’t even find the words to describe the scale of Trump’s corruption here.

Exclusive | The $100 Billion Megadeal Between OpenAI and Nvidia Is on Ice Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has privately played down the likelihood the original deal will be finalized, although the two companies will continue to have a close collaboration.

The financial underpinnings of OpenAI are blatantly obfuscated and scammy. I read this article several times and was like... "Huh? Wha???"

But, there is a key theme: Nvidia is distancing itself from OpenAI, and being vocal in doing so.

You mean software development.

An LLM can no more engineer software than it can engineer a bridge or perform surgery. LLMs predict words, in this case code.

Most software "engineers" are simply devs, not engineers. 🫠😘

Tweet from Eric Berger on Jan 29, 2026: The reported merger talks between SpaceX and xAI should not come as a huge surprise. If you believe AI is the future; and that compute is the major problem to solve; and orbital data centers are feasible—then the combined company would be a vertically integrated AI colossus.

hi folks, serious journalist here, it's important to understand that this all makes perfect sense if you've completely cooked your brain on Elon fanboy bullshit for the last decade
