I had a long conversation with MIT Tech Review’s @willdouglasheaven.bsky.social about AGI; it fed into this very good read on the rise of AGI orthodoxy

How AGI became the most consequential conspiracy theory of our time

The idea that machines will be as smart as—or smarter than—humans has hijacked an entire industry. But look closely and you’ll see it’s a myth that persists for many of the same reasons conspiracies d...

JD Vance claims that diversity weakens unions, as people end up distrusting each other and not organizing.

Let me tell you two menswear stories related to this claim. 🧵

Nice!.. I am trying to guess what linear tracker that is without luck so far

Looks like the value of workers able to do basic scripting is gonna go up... CEO: "wow, our internal tool made by who? Is faster than ChatGPT? But does it have AI in it? Oh, it says AI in the title... Wow"... All feels a bit like reinvention of the wheel

I was betting for a long time that this was where Trump would end up, just selling the weapons to Europe. Seemed like the obvious way out for him.

I am now wondering how often we humans have named cutesy, but absolutely deadly animals, names that sound slightly appetizing

Uffe @uffedimon.bsky.social · Jul 14

I agree. But more to the current events, postponing a couple of mass bombing attacks against civilians, or give Trump a few more promises like not hitting Kyiv might arguably have been enough in the current situation to keep the detente with Trump. That's the miscalculation that is pointed out

Bad intelligence has to be part of it, but this is more him totally misjudging Trump on an area where he is supposed to know Trump can easily be manipulated, flatter and gestures Trump can show as victories for the home front. He is in much more direct contact with Trump, less need for intelligence

It honestly also looks a bit like it's too personal for Putin now, it's an obvious mistake when you look at it. He could have gained so much by very few concessions that could easily be reversed, and he appeared blind to the opportunity.

Was one of the first vinyls I bought as well after getting into vinyl here a year ago, it's insanely good. Vinyls totally rekindled my love for music

They believe it possesses intelligence exactly because it's output sounds so convincing. it's output sounds like human speach, and with authority.

Uffe @uffedimon.bsky.social · Jun 21

An LLM is actually a perfect propaganda machine, it's real power is not the veracity of its output, but the convincing way it presents it. The training data is still the costly time consuming point I would argue, consensus on what it should spit out, and internal integrity of the data presented

Also, even if it just works halfway, the target audience really wants it to work, they want it to spit out exactly what they want to hear. It's a self reinforcing mechanism, and those politicians and journalists are undoubtedly going to regurgitate at least some of the propaganda

I was actually about to ask last time if you were lookin at possible caps replacement, are you doing some measurements on the boards? Did you find some leaky ones?

I would love to follow your updates on this, sounds like it would be a complicated but extremely entertaining project. I just checked, and it looks like you can still buy this thing, at least in Europe. Makes you wonder if there isn't recent enough updates for the thing to interface

This no-kill animal shelter is in desperate need of kitten food, kitten milk replacement, and other supplies. If you post a screenshot in my replies showing that you donated at least $10 (even as a Chewy gift card), I'll answer a style-related question for you. Donation info in their thread.

Yes... "we might do something, potentially, involving one or 2 drones and a Russian aircraft... No biggie really"

This has to be a rhetorical question right?

Ukraine be like: "so you in the west won't give us long range strike capability to hit the bombers murdering our civilians?... Fine... We will order some drones on Aliexpress and rent some trucks and Russian truck drivers"
