This guy is such an embarrassment. When will he stop being rewarded for unfathomable incompetence and blatant shilling for every despicable agenda?
I take these scenarios seriously because of the insane jump in capabilities we've seen in the last year-plus, coupled with stuff like HuggingFace, coupled with experts inside and outside the labs believing we're at an inflection point and improvement is likely to accelerate

People should not do any such thing. No good thing comes from participating in a mass delusion. Pluse believing in magic makes you look really stupid. Jesse has build up a high tolerance for this over time, but the average person could not withstand the inevitable humiliation.

Spoken like someone who has learned everything they know about educational therapy from a substack (in other words, not at all. )
Also, anything you do in a PhD, you can do in your own time. With platforms like substack, research, reading, reflection, and reaching out to audiences have become democratised and widely available. The PhD is about credentialism, membership of a club deemed prestigious, baubles.

We talk about delusional male entitlement and self aggrandizing all the time actually. But it's true that we don't talk enough about how IQ is Eugenicist junk science embraced universally by the worst people you know.
We dont talk enough about how male students with an IQ of 105 or greater begin to outsmart their female teachers at ~3rd grade and the resentment that breeds.

My second job has basically evaporated and what used to be extra income to put in savings and pay down debt and pay for holiday gifts etc, is now essential for basic survival needs, but there is no real freelance work anymore, just AI scams advertising AI scams within AI scams.

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.
It will, of course, do neither or have much an an impact at all. But it will result in a lot of people cancelling their increasingly worthless Spotify accounts like I just did.
Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵

No one named Ted or Jeff or Ed better run for office. Serial killers and pedophile rapists and terrorist bombers should not be elected officials! (Don't worry, the pedophile rapists holding the highest office is named Don so it's fine.

Summing up to the jury, Russell Brands lawyer questioned why the women didn't scream or fight back whilst being raped/assaulted? .....This scene from the BBC drama Apple Tree Yard perfectly explains why some victims aren't able to scream & fight while they're being assaulted.

that’s right you’re not a real leftist if you celebrate anything or feel hopeful or smile or ever look at the sunshine
These children are not safe and I hope your open and violent rape apology is used against you in family court.
Excatly what evidence is there from 20 years ago, other than them willingly going back to his house or blowing him off behind the stage, whilst the have partners.
All it was is accusational.
As a single father of girls and a boy i do just fine thanks.
