So many people on the timeline can’t entertain the reality that for many people, a 10% chance of ending humanity is far preferable to a ~100% chance of living under an AI-fueled global unigovernment combining all of the worst regulatory and social policies of the last 20 years.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says people arguing we should pause AI development are not living in reality and de facto saying we should let our enemies win: "If we didn't have adversaries, I would be very in favor of pausing this technology completely, but we do.” Via @cnbc

AI Safety is the new woke The AI Doomer NGO industrial complex is trying to be the new DEI NGO cottage industry We've been through this before, it's a consolidation of power by one ideological cluster, masquerading as "neutral 3rd party auditing" and compliance requirements

Anyone calling for an AI pause or slowdown: - Does not understand game theory - Does not understand incentives - Does not understand economics - Does not understand systems - Has *definitely* imbibed WAY too much dystopian sci-fi and/or MSM twaddle

SpaceXAI will livestream a three-person team attempting to build an entire company from scratch with Grok Bot, September 15–17. mattyp, poteto and roshan_s will start with an idea and work through the business plan, product decisions and engineering, with viewers following the process live. The event, Grok Bot Galaxy, also includes live demos and hands-on sessions with the Grok Bot team, covering engineering, product, sales, marketing, customer support and use cases for founders. You can join online or attend sessions in San Francisco. Registration is required for both. 👇

Secular tech elites are having a spiritual meltdown as AI forces them to face death, consciousness, and meaning without Christ. Some Christians are overreacting to AI with “mark of the beast” panic and old-school end-times defeatism that stopped them from building anything. Younger Christians should reject both, treat technology as a God-given tool, and actually build instead of waiting for the world to burn.

I remember as a PC guy how I bought my first Apple device, a MacBook Pro, in 2013 I bought it because that's what my brother had (a pro VFX guy) and also a lot of people in startups around then switched to MacBooks Back then Windows had become such a POS to use I'm starting to feel we're reaching a similar moment with Apple I just saw @dhh's Omarchy's foundation announcement and this video by @theo is also accurate Apple has given a consistent big F U to developers for over a decade, but at least their software worked well enough. The last few years that changed and you start seeing really dumb and messy bugs everywhere especially in iOS but also MacOS As an example every time I open my camera from my iPhone's homescreen to quickly picture somethig that quickly happened (like a plane flying by slow) I miss it because my Camera app goes into a weird blur freeze or just stays black Just basic software things Apple can't even do anymore A big reason for this of course, may I say it, is Steve not being there. Steve was obsessed about details. Modern Apple doesn't care about details at all Developers are just a tiny sliver of society but they are trend setting and if you lose them, there's a good chance the rest of people will move on to other platforms too Apple should be studying what's happening now because add this to also investing $0 into AI (which people call a "great move" as models go open, I'm really not sure about that) they might not have a moat left I know for sure if I switch from a MacBook Pro running MacOS to a Dell XPS with Linux that will be a gateway drug for me to also move my iPhone with iOS to some great hardware phone running a great custom minimal Android install And I never even considered switching before this year!
