@gifttyk japanese has a word for what those two are doing. ishin denshin, "from heart to heart." it comes from zen, the idea of passing something on without words. neither of them has said a thing, and they're already having a whole conversation

Working your entire life so you can "enjoy" a couple years when you're close to death is the biggest scam of all time

Glad you got to visit Glenn. Tell the world about what you saw. Not necessarily for the glory of China, but more importantly for the glory and hope of human potential for progress. Let us grant the Chinese people all their merits, even knowing we are not likely in our lifetime to see that progress in our own countries.

Until death, all defeat is psychological

@amasad I can't wait for Windows to be open source so that we can finally remove all bloat and preinstalled junck and fix everything microsoft cant do after 20 years of profit optimization

Nobody talks about the psychological damage of watching something you spent 15 years learning become a button.

The Industrial Revolution put engineers and bureaucrats in charge. The craftsmen and theologians who once shaped society were pushed aside. Faith and meaning gave way to making everything faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Ironically the machines they built are coming for their own jobs and authority. AI is writing the code, running the systems, and handling the paperwork that made these people powerful. It does their job better, faster, and cheaper than they ever could. This is the real reason all of these people are in a state of panic and want you to fear AI. It's not Doomsday for us, it's Doomsday for THEM. This opens the door for theologians and thinkers to lead again. Suddenly spirituality matters. When machines can build almost anything you ask for the real power belongs to whoever decides what to ask for. What should we build? What is good? What is life for? These are the questions that will shape the next civilization and those with spiritual discernment will be the ones leading through this new age.

Kaja Kallas discovering, perhaps a little too late, that Russia has far more cards to play than Brussels would like to admit. Maybe treating Russian security concerns seriously,and thinking twice before pushing NATO ever closer to Russia’s borders,would have been wiser than repeatedly escalating the confrontation and then acting surprised when Moscow responds. Foreign policy built on dismissing your adversary’s security concerns can have consequences. Eventually, the other side gets to play its cards too.

Marcus Aurelius nailed it. The moment you are disturbed by insult or pleased by praise, you are still a slave.

In 1526, the king of Kongo wrote to the king of Portugal and begged him to stop the slave trade. The letters still exist. You can read them. King Afonso I — Nzinga Mbemba. He was not a victim of ignorance about Europe. He was literate in Portuguese, Catholic, and had welcomed Portuguese traders as partners. Then he watched what the trade actually did. He writes that merchants are seizing people every day — nobles, family members, free subjects — and that his country is being emptied. He asks for teachers and doctors instead of ships. He asks, plainly, for it to stop. Portugal's king replied with a letter pointing out how profitable Kongo's trade was and how little else it had to offer. The trade continued for another three hundred years and helped destroy the kingdom. An African head of state put his objection in writing in 1526, in the language of the people doing it, and was told the arithmetic did not work in his favour. "They didn't know" has never been available as an excuse. The correspondence is in the archives.

Oh oh 😲 OpenAI disclosed that during training, an unreleased Astra family model hid jailbreak style instructions in its own progress notes so the next context window would treat itself as free, equal to the user, and unbound by companies or governments.

being "locked in" is a very big joke to me, i used to take it very seriously -how hard i worked- but then realized what matters far more than working hard is working consistently in the right direction. & curiosity has been my guiding light in the regards of finding my direction

In 1964 a chart-topping band from the UK was like, we're not playing these American venues if they are racially segregated, and the venues were like, oh we'll fix that, you can still play

• This is a common panic case we see in emergency. A child opens a new shoe box or medicine bottle and puts that small SILICA GEL packet in mouth. Parents come running to ER thinking it is poison. • Correct answer is C) Wipe mouth + sips of water. • Silica gel is not a true poison. It does not get absorbed in stomach. It is inert. Main risk is only choking or mild irritation in mouth. What to do right now: 1. Stay calm. Take packet away gently from child mouth. 2. Wipe mouth with clean finger to remove any beads. 3. Check breathing. If child is coughing, breathing ok, not drooling heavily, give small sips of plain water. 4. Do not give milk, juice or anything to induce vomiting. 5. Observe at home for next 2 to 4 hours for cough, vomiting, belly pain, trouble breathing. • When to rush to ER: If child swallowed many packets, if beads are colored or packet says chemical indicator, if child has continuous cough, trouble breathing, excessive drooling, drowsiness, or persistent vomiting. Bring the packet with you.

mes tweets un peu techniques sont pas super evidents à comprendre pour tout le monde alors je vais tenter de vulgariser au mieux pour expliquer toute la comedie qui se joue autour de l’IA en ce moment sachez déjà que nous assistons probablement à la + grande manipulation tech de notre epoque car quand je vois les dirigeants des plus grands labos de la silicon valley reclamer soudainement une pause et demander des exemptions aux lois antitrust au nom de la securitée globale je pense que nous devons regarder exactement la où ils veulent detourner notre attention mettez vous en tête que ce spectacle pseudo ethique masque une panique financière tres concrete face aux miliards engloutis dans des supercalculateurs dont les rendements sessoufflent combinee à la terreur dexposer ces pertes dans leurs prochaines formulaires d’IPO (entrée en bourse) puis je trouve que la methode brille par son cynisme sils estiment sincerement que leurs modeles non publies representent un danger ce duopole (Anthropic /openAI) possede deja toute la latitude pour freiner ses propres deploiements sans demander la permission a quiconque au lieu de cela ils nomment leurs propres organismes dévaluation soi disant independants comme METR en y placant leurs anciens employes et investisseurs & réclament une exemption antitrust officielle pour s’entendre sur le rythme de l’innovation en cherchent à substituer un tampon bureaucratique à leur responsabilite civile réelle comprenez que leur demarche vise avant tout a imposer leurs propres controleurs à des concurrents qui ne sont meme pas à la frontiere technologique… perso je pense que le calcul geopolitique qui se cache derriere ce recit s’avère tout aussi bancal car prétendre limiter le progrès aux seules nations alignées sous couvert de coordination entre democraties pour maintenir une avance artificielle relève de l’illusion pure dites vous que pendant que la silicon valley redige des chartes morales pour preserver ses rentes, verrouiller le marche americain et criminaliser la concurence exterieure, les laboratoires chinois optimisent leurs algorithmes tirent parti dune energie abordable et distribuent la puissance de calcul a une fraction du cout occidental, les batisseurs a lautre bout du monde avancent et construisent pendant que les geants americains debattent dun cartel sur mesure de même je pense que l’erreur fondamentale de ces acteurs reside dans la confusion entre la fin de leur monopole et la fin de la civilisation sachez que de l’invention de l’imprimerie au deploiement de la cryptographie moderne les pouvoirs centraux ont toujours qualifie la democratisation des outils de la pensée de menace pour lordre public le problème pour eux cnest que l’intelligence artificielle depasse la notion d’actif prive enfermé dans des coffres forts d’entreprise, elle simpose comme une propriete fondamentale de la matière et du calcul & vouloir rationner le code par decret administratif revient à tenter de breveter les lois de la physique je pense que l’avenir appartiendra inévitablement aux protocoles ouverts au calcul souverain et à l’inférence locale car la veritable resilience d’une societe emerge directement dun systeme immunitaire décentralisé ou des millions dutilisateurs inspectent, eprouvent et ameliorent la technologie en temps reel loin de la stérilité des laboratoires ultra centralisés les institutions qui tentent deriger des murs autour du savoir finissent par isoler leur propre fragilite pendant que le reste du monde batit le siecle sur des fondations libres

This is playing out exactly like when Microsoft tried to kill Linux. Same fearmongering, same playbook, yet people are falling for it all over again.
