Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

And there you have it- Google laying people off/doing buyouts to fund their AI push. Big tech is a death cult. If generative AI were a real growth industry with fundamentally useful products that people wanted this wouldn't be happening.

This person makes an important point. I don't want to doom pill people about Bernie and AOC. If you're invested in electoralism that's for progressives right now that's better than nothing. But you do need to lock tf in though

People are getting out and physically attending rallies to the only two candidates that resist the institution. This is about the people, not these two. This is a turning tide, don't go all doomer now that people are waking up.

genuinely baffling how many Dems continue to behave as if anyone in this administration will follow the law in any capacity

look at fucking Rubio, you’re all going to be making public mea culpas on this vote within a week

save yourselves the trouble and vote no on every single thing

The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.

OpenAI also, like every generative AI company, is running out of high-quality training data necessary to make the model "smarter" (based on benchmarks specifically made to make LLMs seem smart) — and note that "smarter" doesn't mean "new functionality." Sam Altman deputizing Orion from GPT-5 to GPT-4.5 suggests that OpenAI has hit a wall with making its next model, requiring him to lower expectations for a model that OpenAI Japan president Tagao Nagasaki had suggested would "aim for 100 times more computational volume than GPT-4," which some took to mean "100 times more powerful" when it actually means "it will take way more computation to train or run inference on it." If Sam Altman, a man who loves to lie, is trying to reduce expectations for a product, you should be worried.

These are, to put it mildly, absolutely insane numbers to charge developers for GPT 4.5, a model with no real featureset difference I can see other than Sam Altman saying it's "more conversational" where Sam is already saying it won't benchmark well! WASHED!
GPT-4.5 Largest GPT model designed for creative tasks and agentic planning, currently available in a research preview. | 128k context length Price Input: $75.00 / 1M tokens Cached input: $37.50 / 1M tokens Output: $150.00 / 1M tokens GPT-4.5 is ready! good news: it is the first model that feels like talking to a thoughtful person to me. i have had several moments where i've sat back in my chair and been astonished at getting actually good advice from an Al. bad news: it is a giant, expensive model. we really wanted to launch it to plus and pro at the same time, but we've been growing a lot and are out of GPUs. we will add tens of thousands of GPUs next week and roll it out to the plus tier then. (hundreds of thousands coming soon, and i'm pretty sure y'all will use every one we can rack up.) this isn't how we want to operate, but it's hard to perfectly predict growth surges that lead to GPU shortages. a heads up: this isn't a reasoning model and won't crush benchmarks. it's a different kind of intelligence and there's a magic to it i haven't felt before. really excited for people to try it!

From Goldman Sachs' "Gen AI: Too Much Spend, Too Little Benefit?"

www.goldmansachs.com/images/migra...
Allison Nathan: You haven’t bought into the current generative AI enthusiasm nearly as much as many others. Why is that? Jim Covello: My main concern is that the substantial cost to develop and run AI technology means that AI applications must solve extremely complex and important problems for enterprises to earn an appropriate return on investment (ROI). We estimate that the AI infrastructure buildout will cost over $1tn in the next several years alone, which includes spending on data centers, utilities, and applications. So, the crucial question is: What $1tn problem will AI solve? Replacing lowwage jobs with tremendously costly technology is basically the polar opposite of the prior technology transitions I’ve witnessed in my thirty years of closely following the tech industry. Many people attempt to compare AI today to the early days of the internet. But even in its infancy, the internet was a low-cost technology solution that enabled e-commerce to replace costly incumbent solutions. Amazon could sell books at a lower cost than Barnes & Noble because it didn’t have to maintain costly brick-and-mortar locations. Fast forward three decades, and Web 2.0 is still providing cheaper solutions that are disrupting more expensive solutions, such as Uber displacing limousine services. While the question of whether AI technology will ever deliver on the promise many people are excited about today is certainly debatable, the less debatable point is that AI technology is exceptionally expensive, and to justify those costs, the technology must be able to solve complex problems, which it isn’t designed to do.

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood
Someone on Twitter writes: "Unfortunately die work wear or whatever is a psyop to turn men into women . Cuz why the hell else would he be telling them to dress that gay"
