[Reporter Dude] If you launch the coin, isn’t it unfair for you to snipe the coin?

[Shitcoin Wizard] ponders deeply I would say no.

[Reporter Dude] WTF did he just say that on the record?

While browsing the references of the paper, I found such a perfect evisceration of GenAI.

We have confused what we can write down with what we usefully know and compounded the error by supposing that because computers can help us write down more they can obviously help us know more.

The marks are on the knowledge worker - Kidd, Alison

That’s from 1994 folks, they were talking about the wonder of relational databases.

Decent functionality, and it didn’t get flagged most of the time I used it.

can recommend YTDLnis, as others have. If web-based is important to you, cobalt dot tools seems great and trustworthy.

The pivot-to-ai writeup is out, they did seed! I assume it’s documented then.

Multinational corporations can act ethically after all.

Did they seed at least?

Not my place to tell you what to post, but I would have just made a link post to your blog. I found it more pleasant to read, and gave me an incentive to poke through your backlog. Entertaining stuff!

Less meta: you just prompted me to actually remember when my Internet journey actually began. Must have been early to mid oughts, mostly playing flash games on lego.com . I remember an elementary school buddy came over one day and helped me create the Email I’d use for 15 years, and introduced me to some regional forum that went offline many years ago.

Fits a pattern I’ve seen before. Kinda critical of OpenAI and not buying their PR wholesale, but also accepting the framing that AI is some kind of critical foundational tech instead of another shitty magic trick.

I don’t know shit about these stats, and everything can be debated, but just wanted to say: don’t let people get you down.

Feeling positive/hopeful isn’t always appropriate about everything, but people in here are acting like it’s a mental illness.

I’ll add that such statistics are very much a moving target, since AVs are still “getting better every day”. The software is (and will be) under constant development, and there will likely be tradeoffs between safety for pedestrians and convenience for passagers (e.g. how sensitive is the trigger for an emergency break?)

Looking at it as an ongoing relationship between AV operators, regulators and people makes a lot of sense to me. I agree with the points of the video, that operators will likely push for a “just safe enough” standard and try to offload responsibilities onto bystanders.

His Wikipedia article is quite a ride. Apparently he and a Stephen Chamberlain were recently found innocent for a bunch of fraud charges. They boil down to inflating the value of a SW company he sold to Hewlett-Packart. They died within a day of each other in unrelated accidents. Must be rough.

Dear god, my ribs are hurting after 2 paragraphs already.

The countersuit went so far as to ask the court to force Altman to “change its deceptive and misleading name to ClosedAI or a different more appropriate name.”

The guy (pun not intended) seems honestly as decent as you might hope for in a serial entrepreneur. Maybe a bit naive for expecting better from the players involved, but to me he comes off as endearingly earnest.

Frankly, it just didn’t stand out. The entire post is such a hoot. Someone must be microdosing meth again.

Phase 3: Reality Distortion (2041-2050)

2041-2043: Financial Multiverse Modeling

• Quantum computers simulate multiple financial realities simultaneously

• Development of “Schrödinger’s Ledger” prototype, allowing superposition of financial states

This reminded me of a gag from Pyramids (discworld novel) where quantum accounting is invented to manage a reality-warping pyramid building business. So I was trying to get a quote…

…only to discover that Quantum Accounting is an actual grifting term in recent use. Please marvel at this LinkedIn post: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/roadmap-quantum-accounting-milestones-evolution-garrett-irmsc
