Karp always delivers, he can't help himself and rants openly about Palantir's bloodlust and war-profiteering. He's been doing this for years. Anyone who speaks seriously about Palantir should be shunned. They are what Karp says they are.

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman.

The text in the Tweet says:
SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

I don't think ppl are stupid at all, I think capitalist society is a failure, because companies are allowed to lie on a mass scale and coerce users into reckless behavior. The free market that was supposed to provide for us is just chewing ppl up and spitting them out

No, Claude is not anxious.

Anxiety requires two components:

1. Awareness of the possibility of annihilation of self.
2. An autonomic nervous system.

Mimicry of the words of an anxious person is not being anxious.

A dog can be anxious. Your plagiarism machine cannot.

Anyone working in "news" or "politics" needs to finally wrap their minds around the idea that X isn't reaching anyone that matters. You're wasting your time pitching no one. You're wasting your money pitching no one.

No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.

No but this is entirely correct

What happened was not surprising, it was perfectly in line with what the organization has stood for and allowed to happen for decades.

Anyone who is SHOCKED that the US men’s hockey team would party with Kash Patel and laugh with the pdf file in chief about him having to invite the US women’s hockey team clearly has very little experience with the NHL.

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

One of the most liberating things I’ve ever experienced is realizing that I don’t actually have to be nice. I always strive to be kind, but I definitely do not need to be nice.

About one of the Trump accusers in this piece:

“The interview [with the alleged victim and her attorney] was conducted July 24, 2019, and entered into the FBI’s case files on August 9, the day before Epstein was found dead in his jail cell.”

Sora 2 apparently cost something like $5 billion to run every year and so far made OpenAI around $1.4 million.

the "don't make me tap the sign" simpsons meme where the sign says "Authoritarianism hates art. This basic truth is why AI “art” is the preferred aesthetic of fascism. Tyranny cannot abide human creativity. With human creativity comes free and open discourse, diverse thought, and, most threatening of all, empathy for our fellow man. Both authoritarianism and AI demand and breed conformity, and I can’t think of a more hostile environment for true art. "

I see discourse has taken place

“When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of ‘getting to know you’ questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

“And he went wow. That’s amazing! And I said, ‘Oh no, but I’m not any good at any of them.’

“And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: ‘I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes…

“And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could ‘win’ at them.”
-Kurt Vonnegut

Marie-Philip Poulin and Laura Stacey at their first Olympics as a married couple kneeling on one knee on the ice next to each other in their national ice hockey outfits with the olympic rings in the ice on the floor. They look at each other.

5. Love on the ice, out and proud!

Every single thing I’ve learned about the Epstein files has been against my will and made me physically ill. I haven’t not felt nauseated in days.
