RET

Journalists: please jettison the bullshit notion peddled by governments and lobbyists, that having Anthropic etc in Australia somehow "places this country further up the AI supply chain". It's utter bollocks designed to make us feel important, so we say say "yes" to AI carpetbaggers.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

It appears that plagiarism only matters to The Times if it’s done by black professors

"... Altman and Amodei do a pretty good job when they’re directly communicating with the public. They do exactly what Zuckerberg resists here: acknowledging the dangers of AI" Bzzzt. No, those bozos are just AI Doomers. Amodei left OpenAI to start Anthropic because it wasn't Doomer enough for him.

My eyes are playing games.

OpenAI is doing this because Mythos got airtime thanks to the media that does press-release-as-aservice. So now, as one security engineer put it, “something which would have been an embarrassment ten years ago is now repackaged as a capability demo, a heroic AI-vs-AI story and a marketing pitch"

It's totally unprecedented, nothing like the same marketing hype cycle Anthropic did around their model "going rogue" and "breaching containment" recently. Not like that at all

"My next book project is a trans-species manifesto-cum-collage assembled from excised first editions of Hemingway novels, decaying roadkill gathered over the course of a summer spent barefoot in Michigan, and a series of scatological limericks generated by my AI companion, Judith."

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

And people say everything is clickbait these days. This video is exactly what it says on the tin.

Vandals also attacked Iran, imposed illegal tarrifs, created a global oil shortage endangering the world economy and made the US a laughing stock that doesn't honor its agreements, according to Trump.

Nobody ever told the makers of the plagiarism machine that stealing was wrong.

"Prepare your people" - what, fill their cavities with breadcrumbs and herbs, roll them in oil, put them in a non stick pan?

Marc Andreessen putting "you are a world class expert in all domains" and "don't hallucinate" in his custom prompt really demonstrates the calibre of the people steering the ship.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli.

I got my first job in 1995. One of the first lines I ever got published: “if you want to know whether someone is your enemy, don’t look at what they’re fighting against - look at who they’re fighting for.” I’ve been trying to do better for 30+ years. And I’m not sure that was the best use of my time
