Did some digging on the Alaska senate race thinking I had struck gold as the ranked choice voting hasn't been applied yet the and the other Dan Sullivan margin was enough to swing it, turns out more votes transfer to Pelolta than the actual Dan Sullivan, wild

Just in case anyone thinks I’m cool I had to double check the meaning of “mid” before writing this

Trying to wrap my head around ambulances & aid workers being deliberately targeted in Palestine because of a chance they may have interacted a bad guy vs this tweet being made as VC money and governments line up to throw more trillions at AI while kids starve, the old freeze
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

This came across way more out of touch than i realized, think the issue may have been with the display cabinet being overly large did a reorganize into a couple shelves and will have always have options if i need an emergency butt plug
Has anyone ever thrown away all their poker trophies? Freeing up some office space removing a display case and dont feel any attachment to them

Serious question: why can the poker community generally have an unfavorable view of the WSOP business and get so upset if the WSOP owned hall of fame snubs someone? We should make our own Hall of Fame with blackjack and hookers

Only chamath could come up with the ai code being perfect and streamlined thesis
As of today, let’s assume 99% of all code written on the internet is still human written and 1% is agentic. That means 99% of code is sloppy and error ridden. Humans make errors that agents don’t. As agentic code replaces human code, both the error rates and security incidences will GO DOWN. There will be new forms of attack vectors by swarms of agents but I would not shut down the internet because of that because companies will have sophisticated swarms of agents to protect them. If everyone uses commercially available open or closed source models, a stalemate is the most likely terminal outcome. That said, the immediate priority is obvious. We need to rewrite all the code in all the enterprises. Period. Non negotiable. So let’s get on with it, close the security holes and flip to a 100% agentic code universe which, still may not make useful or tasteful products, but at least won’t have the errors that humans leave behind as we work.

Hit four years of sobriety from Weed (and everything) yesterday. When I stopped life didn’t magically improve, but it gave me the chance to begin to grow, connect with others and be less selfish. I suffered silently for years, learn from my mistakes, DMs are open

Despite the fact its extremely inconvenient for me the Irish gambling commission getting prediction markets to leave the Irish market is probably a good thing, but also, sigh
