Yeah, I feel like it has been decided that "AI apocalypse" talk has been deemed dangerous by the masters of the universe, and thusly the talk needs to be different. Dangerous meaning, of course, how bad things will get.

Absolutely. A state senator in my state was a strategy consultant for a cutthroat consulting firm whose major client was a hedge fund and happily did that for a while. Then she decided to get into politics. She is the right gender, but had

Any sort of extremism can be fought if you provide all people with opportunity. Its not just a social saftey net but also a purpose and jobs and the idea of a better future. IMO the right broadly misses the fact that government can be effic

And it is common to cheat, as it is cheaper to pay the fine than to buy a pass annually. Naturally, this is done more by the foreigners I know than the natives. But the foreigners are not Japanese...

So basically local LLMs are rapidly improving to the point where they can handle many of the automation or local coding use cases on reasonable hardware (say $5k or less). What's the edge for frontier model providers here?

No, it is culture, not race. A friend of mine (half asian, half white) and by happenstance devot christian got his graduate degree at a top 3 school in the US, and he was shocked the international student brazenness in cheating. He reported

If i was dictator i would straight up ban social media for everybody. I would even consider disabling the internet and tv on the weekends and forcing people to have a mandatory vice, subsidized by the government.

One of the dumbest things ever was the left giving up on the flag. The only way this makes sense is if much of the left actively disdain most of the nation (ie Stanford vocabulary guide around American flag being a triggering symbol or some

The new more powerful engines with built in heat shield are a phenomenal achievement. Hopefully they perform as good as they look!

Maybe we just need to subscribe to nikkei proper and ask them to make it pink and stop being peasants.

A civilization clone, but going way deeper than is reasonable (inspired by dwarf fortress). I'm currently building the geophysics simulation that will allow for realistic terrain generation, powered by actual mantle convection and plat

One of the top 4 ICS in my (major, public) company just posed a 100 lines of AI slop (which I and others read, and found to be meaningless) in a conversation about a major pain point where they are supposed to be the expert. It's like

Nope, the US (especially the West Coast and Mountain States) is extremely non superficial in certain very odd ways: * Almost nobody cares what kind of car you drive. The richest people I know literally don't care and drive Subarus and

Interestingly enough, a coworker recently told me that I likely don't have much room for advancement at my employer, given my race. He said look at the race of the people on the ladder above you (it's mostly one race), and then lo

It goes even further: The existence and availability and feature set of a technology/service is a social construct within a company. At my employer (major public company), when someone says we have X, this then politically turns into X

With Claude writing so much of the software in big companies, Anthropic is well-positioned to eat up SAST, DAST and a lot of the supply chain analysis. EDR and proactive security are still going to be massive businesses, however.

And obviously there are extremely serious tactical simulations like Combat Mission ( https://www.matrixprosims.com/game/combat-mission-profession... ), which are used by militiaries.

I would call Apple support; you might even get an engineer call you back. I am sure they would love to know what the hell is going on.
