Hype-free rational view on AI.
It's so refreshing to get the good old NASA, that is serious, measured, careful. Completes a complex mission flawlessly, speaks in the language of engineers and is an inspiration. Not the childish circus filled with nonsensical promises of a certain billionaire scammer.
A few lucky humans just circled on the far side of the Moon first time in some 50 years, you'd think there would be a word from the space Jesus who is all about making life multi-planetary? Nah better post some AI generated slop and BS.
It's actually a pretty smart pivot. He will make money on selling new T-shirts to all the spacex muppets.
It's almost hard to imagine today, that merely 30 years ago this was mainstream TV. Ordinary Joes and Janes watched this and discussed during the diner. Incredible how for down the drain have we gone... www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5k4...

In my mind Waymo's were always effectively trolleys following a "virtual cable". But the fact they got bricked in a power outage makes this analogy too real. And hilariously ironic. Also, while on topic, those who gloat about Tesla not having this problem are total clowns.
I randomly clicked on this podcast since it seemed like something I'd be interested in. And boy oh boy did I _not_ regret. If you follow me you most certainly won't regret either... www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmJT...

GPT-5 underwhelming launch seems to me like a "common knowledge" moment for AI. Now everyone knows everyone knows AGI is a pipe dream and ain't gonna happen with LLMs. The run for the exits is going to be a one for history books.
Much of the AI hype is hype. Most or all food delivery robots are driven by low cost remote workers. Waymo admits that every two miles or so there is a human intervention. Humanoids demos are tele-oped. Here is an AI powered coding app revealed. How many others? www.businesstoday.in/technology/n...

The unraveling began when creditor Viola Credit, which lent Builder.ai $50 million in 2023, seized $37 million from its accounts after the company defaulted.

ok I feel completely insane asking this but like weren't we NOT blowing up rockets, like, 50 years ago. weren't we successfully sending rockets up that did not rattle apart. also weren't we like "ah yeah that was a fail" when the rocket fell apart instead of calling it a "partial success"

Let me guess, we are in the season when a certain executive of a certain car company promises autonomous robotaxis at some point "next year" ? I've seen this movie before. Every quarter since freaking 2016...

Saw this posted on LinkedIn. I guess I'd probably agree.
You need to be lobotomized to believe any of this Optimus nonsense. It is million robotaxis to the third power hyperlooped all the way to Mars and back.
I'm sure as heck glad I don't have a Tesla, but if I had one, I'd exchange it for a Yugo if there were no other cars.
I've been thinking about this for a while now, we all keep talking about the gains in productivity from computers, but there also is the ongoing feeling that we've lost something along the way. This guy I just randomly found on YT captures this perfectly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zq4B...

War is peace. Dictator is an ally. Invaded is the aggressor. Tariffs are paid by foreigners. Full self driving needs to be "supervised". George Orwell is rolling in his grave.
Never felt more embarrassed holding american passport before. Looking forward to answering all the "WTF?" questions when I visit Poland this summer again...

AI this, AI that, but note how all the new good ideas are still originated by humans? Even new ideas to "apply AI" new ideas to "train AI", new "AI company logos". It's all good old human intelligence and creativity at work. AI only regurgitates stuff seen on the Internet.
When the history books are written about this period, nobody will believe anyone could have believed all the nonsense that apparently everyone now believes.
Full deepseek is <1TB download, so technically speaking you can fit a compressed version of the _entire_ Internet on one of these. In fact twice over. Let that sink in - compressed knowledge of the whole Internet on something the size of a fingernail and costing less than $200.
