Unstable Fable.

Anthropic's position on pausing AI development is like a company creating a warhead, aiming it at your head, then begging you to make murder illegal. Make up your mind, Schizothropic. You cost twice as much as Codex for the same or better, but at least we get 2x drama. #Anthropic

This means our current cinematic and celebrity pop culture will be forever frozen in the characters of the 80s - 10s. The value of a studio is hardware and IP, characters exist as themselves, not actor portrayals. Uncharted territory now, the Singularity door is opened.

There is no possible justification for the shooting of Charlie Kirk, or anyone with opinions someone disagrees with. This is never the solution.

It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.   Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis

We are fortunate to live in a time when continuously improving truth seeking tools will confront our politicians. First with summaries, later with real solutions to our problems that knuckle dragging, glorified sound bite seeking entertainers cosplaying as public servants could never conceive of. Congress is a disgraceful collection of craven charlatans primed for disruption.

Regardless of your politics, I inherently distrust partisans. If you agree with one party that often, it's unlikely you're thinking for yourself and are regurgitating talking points mostly meant for your own tribe. Most politics is a show meant to elicit an emotional response.

Short term bump, inevitable medium term populist backlash of using taxpayer money to purchase crypto that will be politically weaponized and decimated by people who can't afford groceries. Be careful what you wish for.

With the US taking an isolationist America First policy, is France's leader, the country that gifted the Statue of Liberty to the US, going to gradually assume the mantle of the leader of the free world?

Correct. This is why identifying lockstep as R/D is pointless. Vote for people who can get the job done.

In the near future, saying a product or service uses AI as a selling point will be the same as saying it uses "software" - so ubiquitous that it will be pointless to reiterate.

Trump supporters in CT seeing $TRUMP and $MELANIA, Honest question: How did you not see this coming? I assumed you just knew it would happen and decided it would still be net positive for the industry. There was no possible way they launch WLF and not exploit every cent possible.

It appears X's latest update is more video focused. Anticipation of the TikTok ban migration?

12.5.4.2 is pretty awful here in the DC suburbs. Issues: - Lane choice is horrible. FSD frequently changes out of the correct lane prior to a turn and is then unable to get back in the turn lane safely. In some cases, FSD will continue through the intersection and re-route. Sometimes FSD will slow to a creep in the thru lane and try hard to get into the turn lane (very unsafe in heavy traffic and infuriating to other drivers). In one case, at a complicated lane divergence, FSD very nearly ran into the lane divide while trying to decide which side of the divide it should be on (emergency safety disengagement). - Occasionally misses highway exits - Likes to camp in far left lane of highway, even when the general flow of traffic is faster than the car is traveling - Frequently mistakes flashing yellow traffic lights in adjacent turn lanes as applying to the thru lane it is in - On ~50% of flashing yellow lights encountered, FSD stabs the brakes as if it is suddenly encountering a flashing red light (unnerving, sometimes unsafe, confusing/infuriating for other drivers) - Sometimes slows at intersections even when there is no reason to do so - Sometimes treats Yield signs as stop signs, even when there is no traffic reason to do so - Still cannot handle "No right turn in red" situations - Still cannot handle variable speed limits in school zones - Steering wheel shimmy in parking lots, indicating that FSD is confused about how to deal with parking lot conditions - 100% of the time, FSD moves into a right-turn lane near my house, but believes it is a thru lane. The RT lane terminates in a road shoulder, and the FSD has, in the past, driven onto the shoulder, leaving the road surface. Since this behavior has never improved, I now pre-disengage when we approach this section of road - Same lousy highway merge behavior as has been present since the early v11 days I have no idea how FSD is really performing in California, where the bulk of training data appears to be gathered, but, in the DC area, v12.5.4.2 is not even close to getting 50 miles between critical disengagements, much less disengagements in general. Nor do I expect significant improvement until there is a hardware retrofit for HW3. Overall, in this area, v12.5.4.2 on HW3 is a fairly stressful experience and is not even close to being certifiable for unsupervised self-driving. As a beta-tester, I do engage FSD whenever I am alone, but I no longer engage when I have passengers (even for demonstration purposes), and I regret paying $12,000 for a product that is unlikely to fulfill its promise for a long time, if ever. I absolutely believe Tesla's approach to automated driving is correct and the only way to achieve scalable automated driving. But it's not going to happen on HW3

You must realize: regardless of your social media echo chamber, half the country disagrees with you, and this election will be close. It doesn't matter how "good" it's looking, the other half votes too. Hope you win, but don't immediately assume fraud if you lose. #Election2024

PSA: unless your candidate gets ~400 electoral college votes, it is not a "landslide", it's a win. We haven't had a landslide in this country since 1984. If either were to win a landslide, we would already know the outcome. Landslide victory examples: #PresidentialElection2024
