"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

Isaacman utilise son compte officiel d’administrateur de la NASA (sensé rester non-partisan) pour partager un compte réputé pour son extrémisme. Libs of TikTok est un célèbre compte Twitter d’extrême droite, en particulier pour son contenu anti-LGBT. Allez voir la page Wikipedia, c’est éclairant.

I guess I am comfortable saying that in cases where people you formerly respected, or presumed you did, are now actively choosing to sunset their own minds & surrender them to machines invented by incels and billionaires, then yes there should be a stigma for that. This is what society is for

“There is also a moral and political judgment that is coming along with AI usage…Especially in creative industries where the stigma is the strongest.”

"That’s even more than the $1.35 trillion in debt the five companies officially reported in their financial data for the most recent quarter."

"As Japanese financial newspaper Nikkei Asia found in a recent investigation, just five US tech giants — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Oracle — are hiding an estimated $1.65 trillion in debt that doesn’t appear on balance sheets. futurism.com/artificial-i...

AI Companies Are Trying to Hide a Staggering Amount of Debt

AI companies are pouring tens of billions of dollars into enormous data centers. They're being built on top of a mountain of hidden debt.

The editor in chief of The Economist referring here to the AfD’s leader as a “perfectly thoughtful person“ instead of what she truly is - a driver and enabler of German fascism - is a huge part of the problem.

Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 2w ago

At one point she notes that AfD, the German political party that Musk supports, has "real neo-Nazis." Musk literally just shrugs.

So many people interpreting this clip as a gotcha of Musk, when it actually tells us nothing new about him but is inadvertently hugely revealing about Minton Beddoes and other similarly comfortable, complacent opinion-formers.

I fail to see how those things are specifically "liberal consensus" though?

Cooper Lund@cooperlund.online · last wk.

COVID was a moment where the liberal consensus about both expert institutions and shared personal responsibility were proven to be incredibly important and it has driven both conservatives and a certain kind of leftist completely insane because it invalidated their worldview

The jump the journos are making here to imaginary x-risk scenarios (read: bad sci-fi, unfortunately getting too much traction among policy makers because money) is frankly journalistic malpractice. >>

No, no and no. These weren't "rogue AIs" -- what happened here is that OpenAI kicked off a software process and let it run. OpenAI was always in control and could have stopped the process (or actually paid attention to what it was doing) at any time. >>

SpaceX at $100 Would Imply Zero AI Value, Says Morgan Stanley

The selloff in SpaceX shares has driven the stock near a level that would imply investors are assigning no value to its artificial intelligence business, according to analysts at Morgan Stanley.

Went well enough. It would be more impressive if this was Flight 2, not 13. Still losing tiles, there's damage to the airframe, and Super Heavy was lost again. On the same flight path as the others. At some point, this thing has to actually work.

Big Dumb Booster@buccaneerboosters.bsky.social · 3w ago

To reiterate: it's abundantly clear the Starship program is a colossal systems engineering failure. Despite cries of "iteration", we are at the thirteenth flight and third version of this vehicle and it still lacks basic functionality.

I once again call for people to stop calling these flights "successful" until they finally complete a flight with *no issue whatsoever* like a normal company

Jonathan McDowell@planet4589.bsky.social · 2w ago

Starship flight 13 completed successfully. Booster landing burn didn't light all planned engines; Ship reached planned trajectory, deployed 20 V3 Starlinks on suborbital path, restarted Raptor, landed intact in ocean

Et si on arrêtais de diffuser la propagande d'openAI sans aucune analyse? "On a hack hugging faces mais c'est pas du tout volontaire, c'est notre agent trop intelligent qui l'a fait sans nous" C'est quand même pratique de pouvoir en même temps se dédouaner d'une attaque et se faire de la pub, non?

Of the 3,529 incidents Tesla has filed to date with NHTSA, the word "Unknown" is used 12,835 times, on top of 1000s of redactions. This also raises serious questions about NHTSA's oversight. If FSD Supervised is 7x safer than humans, as Tesla claims, what do they have to hide? 4/4 $TSLA

I want to reiterate the luminosity that the giant stupid space mirror will create here on Earth is *dimmer than a candle held at arms length.* That's a) actually going to be incredibly disruptive at night for humans with our logarithmic optical sensors, and b) completely useless on solar panels.

Tens of billions of dollars in investment, and Australia's ambition to become a global AI power, could hinge on a law written in 1968 for an era of black-and-white television, film and radio.

We need to stop treating the Nth re-flight of the exact same profile they still cannot do without any incident as something important. They are more significant things happening than the shit-can flying again.
