Well folks, we did it. The billions upon billions of dollars have finally paid off! I hope @edzitron.com will be issuing Sam Altman an apology in light of this important development in AI capabilities.

It's like with LLMs generally, they take advantage of our tendency to project our own sense of self and personhood, something that produces output that looks like human speech must have a human intellect, etc. It's a deliberate trick

One way of thinking about the AI bubble is that it's the final gasp of a grift based on specialized GPU's instead of tulips, a logical continuation from crypto and NFT's and the metaverse.
Like, there's nowhere else for it to go, no other magical use for this shit other than as electronic waste.

The Radiacode sellers lifted a video from a friend of mine and used it in their advertising without permission or attribution.
Days after hearing I'm still pretty angry about it. They could have at least sent them a free detector, or two, like they seem to with many other internet personalities. :|

I'm confused about the video clips Trump is pushing out on Truth Social and YouTube right now.
They're all shorter clips on various topics, but I'm not sure where they were shot or why they were done in this style behind a podium talking directly to camera.

Started this week off with a phone call from a field tech asking me to remove a chicken he noticed in the rearview mirror.
We don't know where it came from and after tracking down dog owners last week I'm afraid I'm not up for a lost chicken.
