Frenetic Balderdash

Yes, somehow he seems to convey that Meta and FAIR have always been at the forefront of AI research, have tons of resources, but somehow can't make a Tier 1 model? Probably because those pesky doomers thought their models were too dangerous and unfairly didn't think that of OpenAI. Seems like cope.

@caseynewton.bsky.social Have you seen Yann Lecun's very offended response to your description of AI work at Meta on LinkedIn?

What really makes my skin crawl is all the successful white men on LinkedIn with their suited profile pics bemoaning their victimhood due to being white South Africans. The same with the means to pay for isolated security bubbles while their black house workers are powerless to protect themselves.

I remember growing up in East Africa that the best way to show you were a man of great stature and prowess was to grow a really long pinky nail. Simpler times.

They brought South Africa's richest man, Anton Rupert, as well. Plenty of privileged golfers and billionaires to pick from in South Africa to stroke Trump's ego.

You brought some great analysis, awesome job! Was really proud of the delegation today, and good on the golfers for pitching in, it's the least they can do.

That pathetic binder of articles would swell to the whole room if it would include black and coloured deaths by violent crime too.

They have been saying this throughout the war.

Yeah, Kevin, when global warming gets here you'll wish you were in a gulag.

I can already hear the blare of the megaphones about "POLITICIZATION OF THE LAW" where they are not giving a squeak right now about Krebs and co. Turning this ship around is going to take a generation in the best case where we keep control of the wheel the entire time.

One especially ugly feature of the new tariffs that ought to be discussed more is quite how punitive they are to poorer countries

Got canned because of the bearded trans belly dancers in the promo video. Gaza resort seems a bit too much like Camelot...

Neverending Cory ... he will stop talking at the heat death of the universe.

Can we christen this event as "Neverending Cory"?

Thanks for the extra context. Fuck Carr. Unfortunately the average person will only feel that government is shit and since the delay exceed that of the election cycle, the inaction during that time will be blamed on the party in power. Even BEAD aside, other examples are many like high-speed rail.

How could they possibly not oversimplify it, it's labyrinthine! The point still stands that no ground has been broken for a bill that has been around for more than 3 years. Is it reasonable that no state can start building rural broadband within 3 years of funds being made available for it?

Garry Gensler the MIT professor that literally taught the course on crypto and its intersection with the financial sector, who won awards for his outstanding teaching on it? I think I defer to his judgment here and it is pretty obvious right now why crypto unrestrained is just a magnet for abuse.

I got diagnosed with tuberculosis today. Do I get a voucher or a discount for the book now?

National Parks were already creaking under the load and understaffing when we visited in 2017, would not envy this summer's visitors.

I might just get diagnosed with tuberculosis in time for the publishing. Yay.

South Africa has multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and is the country with the largest HIV positive population. Cutting health funding to it will lead to thousands dying and suffering.

I think the Secret Pod should be renamed "Me, Myself and Sarah". There's a Hank and Charlie in all off us right now.

Good day, Bad JVL! Have a good one!

He went all-in on being an idiot

There are many Afrikaners thanking Trump too. Note that these are the same people that were the loudest when it came to the scandal of President Zuma's state capture, while either cheering on or ignoring Musk's state capture which is just so much bigger in scope.

Three guesses why.

Can you believe Fox Business is pitching this as "the last remnants of the Biden economy" that is tanking now. The level of hubris in how much they think can warp the narrative is just staggering. I really hope they are wrong in that.
