Humans are basically all autistic and their special interest is other humans. It’s like ok that’s nice and all but can you stfu about it for five seconds?
When you’re entering new social spaces and trying to make new friends, it’s important to be fully present in the moment, fully *embodied* As they say, “meat people meet people”
Waow I wonder how they freed up all that compute suddenly, what did they shut down

Future historian: “Wait, you’re telling me that for centuries they had all the smartest people produce book-length expert-level works, called ‘doctoral theses,’ which were *never read*, all before LLM training was even dreamt of? …That’s completely unrealistic, we *definitely* live in a simulation!”
Theory: humans have an intrinsic drive for dissolution, right alongside the drives for safety and sex and so on. Historically people satisfied this drive via chemical means, mostly lots of booze. In modern times we’ve pulled back from that, but we’ve found out how to use media for the same effect
francisco varela fan club@paleopragmatist.bsky.social · last wk.i think a lot of studios are realizing that they've just been trying way too hard by making actual tv shows, movies, etc and that a terrifying number of people just want absolute lowest-investment dogshit they can use to completely zone out

It’s absolutely cope, but there’s a long-timelines angle to the do-a-breakthrough story: The limit of high-quality training data was hit years ago, so synthetic data is key now. What’s are the easiest-to-produce synthetic training sets? Programming; and right behind that, math
This is also why the US will never update to a better voting system
Apex@apex.atproto.ceo · 2w agowe need to study this phenomenon in gaming where a small subset of players master a terrible (or terribly implemented) mechanic and become aggressive defenders of the mechanic insisting it remain unchanged, calling anyone who doesn't like it low-skill
“AI solves a hard conjecture” isn’t really as huge as it sounds because there’s lots of conjectures, and ofc some portion will turn out to be particularly susceptible to a major new tool but it’s still so early…
Having breakfast on my balcony overlooking the lake, as you do, and I hear what sounds like a girl having hysterics It’s coming from a canoe across the lake; I can’t make out what’s going on, but my phone camera zoom can It’s a lone dude holding a big fish. Natch

cyber: - You won’t get viruses this way - Proponents are often furries - Not allowed to use Fable for it
rain 🌦️@sunshowers.io · 3w agowe're just calling cybersecurity "cyber" these days?
Every new high-end open model lends weight to the idea that AI labs will capture ~no surplus value in the long run and the AI bubble will collapse just as the anti-AI crowd always predicted, right before we get wiped out by AGI-empowered hyperterrorists
I’ve noticed that Fable consistently refers to my code design suggestions or questions as “instinct” (as in “good instinct to check,”) which probably reflects on its opinion of my cognitive capacity
At what level of “sapient man-sized creature with hands and legs” am I allowed to start demanding Claude pays rent

It occurred to me to wonder whether Ant was really taking Fable away today, and my immediate impulse wasn’t to check their webpage (would require typing, waiting for a whole google search) but going to my Bluesky For You feed (immediate answer)
Found an edge case bug in Fable code handling a complex database change stream merge. Fable confirms it was wrong It’s over guys. Singularity is cancelled. Human supremacy for 1000 years
What Trump gives his base is the chance to vicariously live their collective dream: yelling at what’s happening on your TV and having it listen
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.Trump on Balogun: "That wasn't even an infraction...this referee, who is a little bit suspect if you check his past. He made a call nobody could believe...he's our best player, or one of our best players. And he gave him a red card. I didn't know what that meant...yes, I asked for a review by FIFA."
Claude: Great! The script is now done, want me to run it? Me [reviewing the horror movie screenplay we just wrote, sweating profusely]: no
gdi, of course they declare singularity while I’m going to be out partying in the woods

Local star market is apparently performing a forward-thinking experiment in completely automated, unstaffed grocery shopping, but not on purpose
Here’s how we fix the system: You can sell your vote for a special kind of lottery ticket The ticket has significantly worse expected value than a regular lottery ticket, but is aggressively advertised. Whenever someone wins big they’re put on TV for months Utopia within a few voting cycles
If you’re ever having a bad day where it seems like nothing works and everything is overwhelming, remember to sit back, take a deep breath, and manually switch all your CC models back to Opus because at some point Ant auto-downgraded your default to Sonnet
It certainly makes sense to reduce dairy intake on ethical grounds even if one isn’t taking the full commitment to veganism, *certainly* it does, but I still feel a bit silly about this oat milk and whey protein shake
