I expect we'll start seeing one long-term unsolved math problem falling monthly now. Likely accelerating from there.

If those yamanaka factors and peptides freaks are right and we can reverse aging it’s gonna be wild to look around and have everyone look the same age as you. Can you imagine your parents looking like 20 year olds? Will we have retirement homes full of dementia patients in their physical prime?

I will never understand how Google fell so far behind this ai race. Gemini doesn’t even enter the conversation these days as a top model, when Google has demis hasabis’ team, infinite compute and infinite money. What are they cooking over there??

Back when they were invented, typewriters must have felt like vibe-coding.

Had a revelation - maybe this is obvious, but the reason these AI companies are iterating so quickly with their apps and tools is because they aren't token constrained. The only reason we peasants don't run 25 agents that all check each other's work and iterate on a problem 5000 times is because it would cost millions of dollars. Anthropic can just spin up 20 Opus 4.6's and say "Work on this until it's done, then check your work 500 times" with zero fear of waking up to a $1,000,000 bill.

Does anyone else have the problem where they really really want to click on some ai slop video but they don’t because they don’t want a feed full of them?

Enough folks here highlighting The Witcher 3 in the possibility of a new DLC got me into my 2nd replay, and holy crap does this game not just live up, but outclasses basically every RPG in every conceivable way. How did we get nowhere 10 years out? BG3 and KCG2 come close. Otherwise it's just a sad state of affairs in the medieval fantasy genre.

Just finished my DS9 rewatch to remind myself that yes, Star Trek was indeed very good once.

Unsure what happened - maybe I stared too long at some bad tweets or something but for weeks my whole timeline is negative shitposting, whereas about a month ago it was all positive science stories and cool "a new breathrough in!" news.

I can't think of anyone that has gone so far from relevant to irrelevant in such a short period of time as Trevor Noah.

I feel like ai is basically at the perfect point right now. Smart enough for self driving, 10xing medical, material and fusion research and great for coding yet still not smart enough to remove the human from the loop completely. Sadly there’s no pause button.

Still going to Mars, @elonmusk ?

If FSD 14.2.1 could path better than a harvester from Command Conquer 1 it would be pretty much perfect.

I don't get the Epstein files thing. What are people actually expecting? An annotated list of names with like a dash and a "Went to island, diddled kids" or "Went to island, did not diddle kids". Otherwise what's the point? Are we assuming all island goers also diddled?

Every single paywalled site should just have a button that says "pay $1 to read this article", and they should all use the same billing service so you only have to sign up once.

To all of the haters who are dunking on Tesla's Robotaxis by listing their mistakes - You also need to follow 10 human uber drivers around the same area for the same number of hours and report their number of mistakes, side by side. No one ever said it had to be perfect, it just has to be safer than humans. Also throw Waymo in there for fun.

I like to think that the reason all the machines in the matrix look like tentacle monsters is that the ai that eventually destroys humanity was almost entirely trained on hentai porn.

Wow I’m very impressed with Grok’s honesty. I asked it what a product advertised on X did and it told me the marketing fluff. Then I asked if the marketing was accurate and it did some research and said no, the product sucks. 😂

I'm digging the choice of Linsey Davis to cosplay the debate as a Romulan from Star Trek: TNG.

Now do Jon Stewart @lexfridman
