I'm not sure if I'm over-hyping it or just early, but I think Meta widely distributing what is essentially a user friendly version of OpenClaw is going to change the Internet. Especially with how generous the free tier is.
Or maybe nobody will understand how crazy Muse is and it won't gain traction

I listened to the podcast now and... it wasn't any better. There was no consideration that, IDK, maybe AI could help someone express themselves?
And, not that I necessarily think things should be difficult for the sake of it, but maybe things can still be challenging when creating with AI?

Imagine there is a camcorder sitting on a table pointing at you. Now imagine twisting the view finder so you can see what's on the screen.
How easy is it to picture yourself in the view finder?
I'm having difficulty holding the image in my mind's eye.

There's a lot of talk about an AI race with China but after seeing this tweet: x.com/kotekjedi_ml...
I'm starting to wonder if Chinese labs are actually moving AI
forward or just really good at distilling existing models and doing some training on top of them.
What if US labs are racing a mirror

As you might guess, this suggests that distilling reasoning traces may have been possible for a long time without ever breaking the cryptography.

Some interesting ideas in here. But also feels incredibly flawed and forced:

Like it has to work backwards from: bullshit jobs are bad, AI is replacing them, but AI is bad, so that means the future has to be even worse.

I ended up listening to the counter argument more or less:

I think it was well reasoned, but I think I still lean slightly towards inequality not being a big deal. But it is hard to measure so it could really go either way.

But I do wonder if the differences just come out of happenstance (like the cultural version of genetic drift) rather than policy decisions (intended or not). But I guess we are shaped by things even if we don't realize it.

A possible explanation for why crime rates don't go up with more immigrants but a larger % of the people who commit crimes are could be because immigrants are substituting for the jobs natives don't want even in the illegal market.

Is "many such cases" the trumpism with the most staying power?
Mocking Trump phrases seem like less of a thing in Trump 2 (beyond a week or two) and it's not like people are saying "covfefe" anymore.
Maybe saying "China" with a Trump inflection? But it's not quite the same.
