I'm glad Trump is destroying the east wing of the White House. May he bring the same destruction to the rest of the White House and other key buildings of the US government!

i have serious doubts about whether current models are actually profitable in the medium term. they may currently be profitable insofar as companies will pay to access them, but are the improving profits/productivity for these companies enough to continue paying for them? doubtful
Anthropic’s CEO argues that AI companies are “unprofitable” similar to early Amazon.

While individual models are profitable, training future models costs even more. The bet is costs will stabilize, making them profitable.

My belief is that costs will stabilize or decline faster than many expect.

I don't care about the crime of using improper communication platforms while planning and carrying out war crimes; I care about the crime of committing war crimes.

Among other things, the US bombings in Yemen blew up an apartment building and a cancer ward. Dozens of women and children killed.

Hard to put into words the level of disgust I have with Joe Biden, the Democratic Party establishment, and really the entire Western political class. Just wall-to-wall packed with irredeemable savages. Death is too good an end for them

Israel is a fascist genocidal state, arguably even worse than apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia, and must be destroyed

After getting permanently banned from Twitter, my main source of info is Hamas and Hezbollah-adjacent Telegram channels. On an unrelated note, not sure what the fuss around Gaza is, obviously the Zionist state is about to fall

MAS's split is a bummer, but also expected given the escalating factional battles over the last few years between Evo Morales on one hand, and Luis Acre and David Choquehuanca on the other
