The Turc strikes again!
Turns out it's not the first time AI got rebranded to escape a little bad PR...
0:00 Trump renames AI to "Super Intelligence"
0:42 Norbert Wiener and Cybernetics
3:17 McCarthy coins "Artificial Intelligence"
5:44 Rosenblatt's Perceptron
9:14 The first AI winter
10:42 The second AI winter

I'm making a Jev like API for Laya and it's crazy how much speed difference there is running these models on a shit GPU vs a CPU.

This makes me want to delete all my Meta accounts @finkd. I have never consented to any of my friends using my data in this way and when they do I am left completely unaware of them doing so.
When a Muse ingests a chat I have been a part of it should ask me permission for using my data and I should be able to refuse Muse and my friends to ever use data we created together as fodder for a chatbot.

I was watching @seanseaevans interview Willem Dafoe and I started to wonder... how many times does it burn when coming out?

So.. OpenDeath?
as a chinese, i will never buy a .si domain
"si" literally means death
yourbiz .si reads like "yourbiz is dead"
no offense slovenia, but si is one of the most taboo words in chinese
some buildings in 🇨🇳 don't even have a 4th floor because 4 sounds like si
even vegas hotels like wynn skip the 4th floor and all the 40s, they know their chinese customers hate it

X really needs it's own view and search for video content. Showing quality content like this only on the timeline or pinned to peoples profiles doesn't do it justice.
here's how i shipped 2,500 PRs last month to production
this was originally supposed to be for Cursor Compile in London. i couldn't make it since i was livestreaming for Grok @Bot Galaxy so i'm making it available for free here on X! watch it on 2x speed, i talk slowly

Sounds like the dude has a god complex 🥁
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

My distaste for ads is at it’s maximum because the cost of producing them has fallen to zero.
Good ads used go be an art form.

At end of 2027 we won't know the difference at all.
The only way to know if you're talking to an AI will be through interrogation and pattern recognition.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Community note
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

If @TIDAL wants my business, why don't they pay for my import since they are the ones sending me to this service? When I moved from Spotify to Apple it was free...
