Just read a "research" report by a respectable consulting firm arguing for >50% chance of AGI destroying human. But we are saved by the existence of the multiverse that will bias the outcome toward AI bringing peace and prosperity and not destruction. Reminder that these…

I actually think this is a great example of why LLMs can't invent new science. Some people could swear "nano banana is capable of doing it with the right prompt" only to get shocked by the fact that no, it can't. This isn't in the training set, so LLMs can't do it. No matter how…

Just learned that Gimli simp Galadriel so hard, he went to Valinor. 18 years ago I drove my wife home from a house party. A short 15 minutes ride. 15 years later, I jumped at the opportunity when someone mentioned a woman from work with the same nickname. Could be her. Could…

Tennis players and programmers are two of the most fragile groups of professionals. Perform in hostile environments. Take the soul of your god damn enemies and distractors. "Please don't schedule more meetings. Noooo" "Please don't make a single sound or my serve is ruined.…

I'm making memes for the mayor. Yes, actually. I made a meme for Andrew Cuomo that hit 5M+ views. Tonight I met with Cuomo and his team to talk about marketing strategy. Here's how I plan to save NYC with memes alone: [THREAD]

That’s just because you didn’t read the foreword. The book’s main goal is to give the reader a new set of language for discussing about how one thinks and talks about biases and decision making. We know this to be true because the author explicitly gave examples at the end of…
