I would like to believe that this will increase demand for gene therapies.

Imo this locus of control is crucial for the model operator to monetize the system and definitely bad for users.

The "straw" is not just opinion but the control of the model operator where they are capable of controlling the model output to their desire, ex: have you considered the meaning of kill the boer lately?

Overweight on shovels:
- NVDA
- any chip company in striking distance
- any companies poised to implement AI to replace jobs, but IMO techniques will be commoditized, stick with shovels

wtf

The Pravda website network aims "to flood the internet with low-quality, pro-Kremlin content that mimics real news articles but is *crafted for ingestion by LLMs*."

You have to explicitly ask for red or it gives you blue or green.

Study in Nature: “Across 30 out of 32 evaluation axes from the specialist physician perspective & 25 out of 26 evaluation axes from the patient-actor perspective, AMIE [Google Medical LLM] was rated superior to PCPs [primary care docs] while being non-inferior on the rest.”

(& AIME is an older LLM)

Well, sure, but you wouldn’t be—if this were Biden, well, first of all, he wouldn't do an interview because he was grossly incompetent. We spoke to him last year, Mr. President. Huh? We spoke to him a year ago. How did he do? You can read the interview yourself. Not too good. I did read the interview. He didn't do well. He didn't do well at all. He didn't do well at anything. And he cut that interview off to being a matter of minutes, and you weren't asking him questions like you're asking me.

The entire transcript of Time's interview with Trump is insane. Just to pick one moment: Trump says Biden would never do an interview with Time, then when told that he had asks how it went, then when told he can read it himself says that he had read it and it didn't go well

Every Cabinet member has different, contradictory talking points about supposed purpose of these tariffs.
Are they a negotiating tactic? Are they instead permanent, because we need them to raise revenue/boost US manufacturing?
Are they designed to return us to 1790s lifestyles & living standards?

I calculated the turnover rate for Berkeley, CA recently. Roughly 1 home is sold each year for every 65 households.

That's basically just deaths at that point.

Opportunity is dead.

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs

Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent

White House: fuck you

Absolute clown car administration

California spends billions on transit, all while banning apartments nearby.

SB 79 ends this contradiction by allowing more home choices within a half a mile of high-quality transit. 🧵/4

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

Trump would have us join an exclusive club.

You notice the rot of things more as you get older, the feeling of the floorboards through the old flooring, the dirt and mold where surfaces connect. The old caulk long peeled away. When I was young I didn’t see it at all, it was like everything was pristine.

The internet cracked.

Oh boy. 64 GB fan fit so many hobbies

LA County has roughly 2m rental housing units of any type.

There is a 5% rental vacancy rate or around 100k vacant units.

Around 15-18k households have been displaced by the fires.

That is a huge demand shock. Certain market segments are going to be in shortage.

It’s been incredibly blackpilling to see the fallout from California’s $20 billion investment in fighting homelessness and the disappointing results. A large camp of people is committed to learning all the wrong lessons from this experience and another large camp refuses to learn anything at all.

$20b is $400k for 50k chronically homeless people.

You could construct multi unit housing or shed yards for every single person for that price and staff it.

Probably near parity for cost right now.

The more interesting part is when they enable solving problems that take people years.

Though someone may still need to be capable of verifying the answers.

Those are incentive problems and collective action problems not problems that require intelligence.

They're about power and politics.

How much $ to have a 25% chance of solving a question that a math grad student/post doc might take days to solve?
