The part I find interesting is the quick addiction to working with the LLM (to the point that the guy finds his own estimate of 8000 dollars/month in fees to be reasonable), his over-reliance for things that, from the way he writes, he knows are not wise and the way it all comes crashing down in the end. Sounds more and more like the development of a new health issue.
I wonder if it can be used legally against the company behind the model, though. I doubt that it’s possible, but having a “your own model says it effed up my data” could give some beef to a complaint. Or at least to a request to get a refund on the fees.
I don’t know if that is copy-pasted from the original or quoted badly, but there are a lot of typos in there. I am not reading a lot of Trump’s rants: is this just how he usually writes or is he being particularly emotional?
Universal as in “anyone can pay big $$$ for it”
That’s the thing about Trump, he does not lie reflexively and awkwardly as a defense mechanism, like most people do; he lies when he’s relaxed. His mind makes up facts and they get flushed out of his mouth.
What he does reflexively when he feels attacked or just doesn’t like what he hears, is attacking the person he’s talking to and/or Biden. Often accusing them of the exact same thing he has done/is doing. This one’s perfectly on brand.
In terms of the credibility of the different things that they’ve seen, and I would say that, you know, these files were made up by [former FBI Director James] Comey. They were made up by Obama. They were made up by the Biden inf—you know
See? Biden and Obama have conspired to make up things. So whatever is written on these files is proof that Biden, not Trump, is a criminal liar
“Trump insider” sounds like a tapeworm
Hedonic threadmill: it’s the theory that we tend to a baseline level of happiness and on average, after some time, people who have won the lottery are as happy (or unhappy) as people who have gone bankrupt.
Look at us, we are apes, barely out of trees. We were fighting predators and cold and diseases that no longer exist. Just by being alive, we are the winners of millions of years of genetic lottery, through evolution, fights, love and ingenuity.
We have access to most of human knowledge through devices that fit in our pockets, can visit other countries that were legendary to our forefathers, instead of hunting wild beasts we have satellites that guide us step by step to the nearest McDonald’s.
Imagine time-traveling a few generations back, describing our life to our grand-grandparents, seeing their eyes grow wide. Now imagine, at the end, telling them how ennui got to us and we can no longer find meaning in our life.
You’re doing it wrong. You’re meant to look at people who are happier than you and think smugly “ha… ignorants!”
I’m surprised they didn’t go for their signature move.
"Here’s the list. Aheam:

The article makes a good point that it’s less about replacing a knowledge worker completely and more industrializing what some categories of knowledge workers do.
Can one professional create a video with AI in a matter of hours instead of it taking days and needing actors, script writers and professional equipment? Apparently yes. And AI can even translate it in multiple languages without translators and voice actors.
Are they “great” videos? Probably not. Good enough and cheap enough for several uses? Probably yes.
Same for programming. The completely independent AI coder doesn’t exist and many are starting to doubt that it ever will, with the current technology. But if GenAI can speed up development, even not super-significantly but to the point that it takes maybe 8 developers to do the work of 10, that is a 20% drop in demand for developers, which puts downward pressure on salaries too.
It’s like in agriculture. It’s not like technology produced completely automated ways to plow fields or harvest crops. But one guy with a tractor can now work one field in a few hours by himself.
With AI all this is mostly hypothetical, in the sense that OpenAI and co are all still burning money and resources at a pace that looks hard to sustain (let alone grow) and it’s unclear what the cost to the consumers will be like, when the dust settles and these companies will need to make a profit.
But still, when we’re laughing at all the failed attempts to make AI truly autonomous in many domains we might be missing the point
A few slaps on the butt (assisted by a carpet beater when the occasion demands it) will usually do it. At least that’s how my mom did it with us.

… that’s reductive, they have so much MORE potential!
interestingly, $35 millions came from a single donation in $MELANIA memecoins
yes, but which one is more likely to try to invade Sweden, grab the Nobel Peace Prize and take it to Trump with blood still dripping from it?
although, if Trump wants to take over sucking dick in a gay bar… I mean, he does have a lot of experience with Putin and Netanyahu
but why am I soft in the middle? The rest of my life is so hard!
thank you for raising awareness on this, I had no clue
I want to boycott Lockheed Martin but man… I was really looking forward to getting that Black Hawk helicopter for Xmas! No, but really, a few of the companies in this list are a relative surprise (Bcom, AirBnB), others are well known pieces of s*t, a few are literally in the military industry and are probably involved in every conflict in the world (or they are actively trying to)
Is Ukraine close to Putin’s record at killing Russians?
Awesome, isn’t it?
Turns out that if the government is controlling the narrative by threatening, harassing or jailing whoever dares go against it, people will only read about the good things!
Wouldn’t it be great if the US did the same thing? Could we all become a happy place like China if we tried a bit harder to make our country… I dunno… great again?
