Violent crime is falling fast. Climate change is looking a bit less dire. U.S. incomes are growing fast. Millennials and Gen Z are doing better than their parents did. Wage inequality is falling. Time to let ourselves be a little optimistic!! noahpinion.blog/p/five-things-…
Are we alone? What would alien life look like, and how can we find it? I spent over 3 years exploring these questions in a series of short films, now updated and combined into a feature-length documentary. Very proud to present LIFE BEYOND Remastered: youtube.com/watch?v=dww8He…
Microsoft Research's Chris Bishop: when AI models regurgitate information in response to prompts we call them stochastic parrots; when humans do it we give them university degrees
Remember the Thai cave rescue and @elonmusk’s mini submarine? Here’s what you didn’t know about it, or rather what you were told about it that wasn’t true. The story most heard was that this was just narcissistic meddling by Musk, that the sub wouldn’t have even fit, and that…
My Crazy True Story On April 1st, Tesla unlocked Full Self-Driving capability for all Tesla vehicles in America. In a moment of dire need, at 2:00 am the following morning, I found myself grappling with severe dehydration and a blood glucose level of 670 due to a malfunction in…
A @Tesla saved another life check the story of how FSD helped bring someone to the ER in the middle of the night congrats @Tesla_na @Tesla_AI @rohanspatel @MartinViecha and team for helping make a product that saves lives
It is exceedingly difficult to responsibly donate money. It's why I laugh when people talk about The Giving Pledge or Effective Altruism. Misallocating capital can make problems worse. If you're rich and want to save the world, I'm sorry but you're probably gonna have to DIY.

I often love Bindu's hardcore takes on many things but this is wrong, IMHO. Basically, there is a 0.0% chance that anyone can build AGI as a non-profit and with only a billion dollars. OpenAI realized nobody was showing up at the AI non-profit/charity every year with a fresh…

🚨 OWN A COMPANY? SIGN THIS LETTER 🚨 The Senate needs a loud and clear reminder that small software/technology companies urgently need to be able to fully deduct all of our software development and R&D salaries and expenses, and that this must be fixed before 2023 tax filings.
OpenAI. IS. BENEVOLENT. Period ffs. Criticize them, sure, challenge their missteps. But it’s not this capitalist hydra. Some of you are utterly clueless. Bandwagon-jumping idiots heard of OpenAI the first time with ChatGPT release and now act like experts on this. Get. A. Grip.
In 1974, author Ray Bradbury was asked, “What is space travel going to do for man?” In response, he gave the most mystical, mind-blowing, and strangely moving answer I could have imagined.
I believe most of copyright is squatters atop the common intellectual heritage of humanity. Your Luke Skywalker is a play on the Jesus meme, and it only has resonance because of it. AI training is pattern recognition and compression… you don’t own the underlying ideas..
anyone who gets upset about the existence of AI art — machines that remove all of the mechanical labor required for art, but leaves all of the creative input to the human — has no idea what art is in the first place AI art is the democratization of art
Hey you, yeah you! Stop scrolling for a second. I just wanted to say… YOU ARE AWESOME!
"Unrealized gains are the largest source of income for the ultra-rich." Unrealized gains are not a source of income for anyone until they are realized. Taxing something based on its increased value before selling it would be completely insane.

My petition to bring heavy lift launch to the UK is live: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/6536… The government is already investing in space ports, but focused on small launchers. The future is more like 100 tonne payloads, and we should attract companies that build such launchers. Please…
