not to get into the object level here, but we need a name for this fallacy where you try to argue that gay sex sets the bar so low for acceptable sexual behavior that you might as well accept some other deviant sexual behavior. "slippery..." something... ?

I never understood what people mean by “making computing more human” It’s all human. We invented all of it. It’s all as human as it can possibly be
how you know you're about to see some good posts
“This technology is so powerful the broad consensus is that we need an entirely new kind of regulation. Therefore it is overpriced.”
AI stocks will drop 10%+ on Monday morning
Brace for impact folks
@DarioAmodei just unwound the AI trade with a blog post
the correct inference from recent events is that the hardest math problems humans are interested in are still very easy. but humans are very bad at math
if I had a coworker who only spoke to me like this I wouldn't care at all if they had solved a millennium problem
on twitter AI is solving millennium problems. on my computer AI is claiming the python GIL is a bottleneck, not realizing it can easily write code in any language instantly
The experience of being human: on the day it becomes abundantly clear that all open problems in mathematical theory and physics will be solved in ~2 years tops, 98% of the people paying attention to the situation will be too fixated on the human drama about who should get credit to notice that the world changed under their feet in a permanent and quite astonishing way. I feel a strange mix of pride, annoyance, affection, and fear for us all.

this is an example of a claim that I would have written off as silly hype as recently as June but now seems plausible and worth trying
it’s a bit silly in my mind to ask “is astra or fable better”
they’re wildly different models that work much better together

maybe one day we’ll view these accidents the way we view lens flair or clipped audio. future art will have hand written claudementary for the sake of nostalgia
Reading a random substack article and nobody in the comments seems to have noticed…
"Max is lucky that, unlike his cruel AI-accusation generator, I am more willing to live with the ambiguous affect of a gassy man with cluttered houseplants, and no idea if he wants to be in his kitchen or not. Truly merciful reporter (human), signing off."

@max_spero_ wait, you didn't tell us the article gets even better
roaming around your apartment, Max? burping?? how could you
I accidentally discovered that if an article is paywalled, you can just ask Gemini, who's already read the article, to tell you what it says
Just so fucking unnecessary
I think the right would get pretty broad support for this kind of immigration enforcement if they could just lay off the abject needless cruelty but they just can’t

August is over. You can make big life altering decisions again
@pleometric so little curiosity for everything "slop". thought-terminating classification
Yeah I'm against anthropomorphizing the computer. Chips do not have "memory." Functions can't "expect" a specific kind of input. and on that note, type "checking?" Seriously? You sci-fi nerds need to get a grip
