what’s great about this is the moment model makers start doing this it’ll go against their training data and start causing all sorts of weird after effects.

Eight days ago I said one of the signs the bubble was bursting was if data center REITs like Fermi were in trouble. Yesterday Fermi had a $150m tenant pull out and its stock dropped 40%. All roads lead to The Smiling Man!

Oh banks are at the “repo window” or whatever? I don’t care. The only monetary policy I deal in is how many $2 bills I can get from the bank on any given day and it’s never enough

It really is wild how most people treat Geoffrey Hinton as some sort of bold truth-teller when he went out of his way to be clear that he thought Google was acting "very responsibly," and never actually comments on things around LLMs or, well, anything!

Rise of Skywalker, the entire theater knew it would suck ass the second it started, it reminded me of watching the Mets or Raiders collapse, everybody was actively pissed off, saying stuff like "oh god" or laughing at how shit it was. A real bonding moment
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Here’s this week’s Better Offline Monologue, and it’s about the questions I’m asking and the mysteries I’m trying to solve, and how I think their truths could bring an end to the LLM era.

Also, enjoy how I say the word “weird.”

One of the biggest things I did this year was get distribution for my first feature film, The Woods. At a time where it is becoming harder and harder to get films made, much less distributed, I'm extremely proud of this indie horror film and everyone who worked on it.

NEW: I talked to the guy who's rebooting Vine. The app was arguably the internet's last bastion of joy and creativity. He's reviving it with the same spirit, and wants it to take on TikTok and Instagram.

Absolutely hilarious earnings call for Broadcom today as CEO Hock Tan gets mad at an analyst for asking for clarity over OpenAI’s supposed 10 gigawatt chips deal, which Tan responded to by saying that “they are on their multi-year journey to their own XP and let's leave it at that.”

Watching this video Hank Green did about AI pissed me off so much I had to go for a walk, multiple straight up falsehoods on top of pumping out effective altruist AI doomerist bullshit about models being "out of control". Unbelievable

I'm afraid this week's premium will be delayed until Monday, because it's become far more ambitious than I originally anticipated. It's Mythbusters: AI Edition and it'll probably be the longest thing I've ever written.

Though I cannot explain exactly who, there are Better Offline listeners who have repeatedly stepped up to get me info for the show, and I both coddle and protect my sources. ezitron.76 if you have info on AI companies, I'm always listening.
