There are things I disagree with but there is good stuff to learn from taking the perspective of parts of the cybersecurity industry that rogue AI incidents may be best understood as security & organizational failures that let rogue behavior to turn into crisis. www.normaltech.ai/p/the-ai-as-...

AI might really be out of control right now, but it's no real surprise that nobody is listening to them say that it is -- remember when GPT2 was too dangerous to release?

in designing AI futures, i think we both under and over estimate how likely folks will be to just accept the AI's judgment on higher-level strategy things. i'm already seeing people just using claude's weird dark mode purple slide style, imagine that for all the things.

the democrats should say they will give people $5,001 if people vote for them. or maybe $1 million! it's all bullshit anyway.

Imagine if you just gave mathematicians 22 million dollars
Millennium math problem solved by OpenAI may have "regurgitated" competitors unpublished work... also they spent more than $22 million in computing power in one week to scoop them.

came into work, forgot my running shorts, uber eats'ing a new pair from dicks sporting goods. three computers with agents going on long-term explorations with a goal, wiggum but actually pretty confident it'll work. and so i'm still skeeting.

all my work is done via agents now, although i am skeeting this myself, so count yourself privileged (or not).

the thing that will be wild about the anthropic and openai IPOs is that suddenly the politics of their employees will become front and center because they will have lots of money, like crypto but maybe 100x?

as AI makes computing easier (and harder), people remain the hardest problem in computer science.

a hard part about having debates about appropriate use of AI is that people have dramatically different experiences with it … and those most against AI often have the least, so their specific arguments/examples don’t land

i've never been an organizer, but because of AI, i now put things into folders, because AI is most useful if you curate your content for it.

someone made a joke about how there should be a hotornot for objects, like soup, and in 10 minutes and $3 later (for the domain), the site exists … hotornot.life
totally useless and not even very funny, but so wild.

HOT or NOT — rate the temperature of things
Rate the temperature of things. Is it hot, or is it not? Rate photos of soup, snowmen, coffee, firewood and more from 1 (ice cold) to 10 (scorching).
