Grok is a pile of linear algebra controlled by a person who is very obviously and clearly a bad actor with malign intentions. Alex Karp is likewise very obviously a person who acts for reasons of power and money.
everyone has choices and those guys are making the wrong ones
i can understand why a person would look at the many people running very low-effort get rich quick schemes using ChatGPT, or look at basically anything Grok does, and feel revolted by it.
but assuming that that is the only thing LLMs can possibly do or be is just so obviously disingenuous
anarchist ideas only work for two kinds of people, i think: those with no superego at all, and those with extraordinarily powerful ones. both of these groups are difficult to live with in their own way
it's really not that hard to use Claude responsibly if you have a baseline levels of awareness as to what the technology actually does and are a basically moral person, meaning you adhere to certain rules of conduct on a non-instrumental basis.
it's unfortunate that many can't do one or both
i do think that ubiquity of LLMs will improve and rationalize life, governance and institutions, but unfortunately none of this will happen during our lifetimes
i worked hard to push against this depressing trend by doing an unimpressive amount of mediocre and unimportant work before disappearing
i am 100% certain he understands it as a generic badass thing; he appears to think - in a very fundamental way - in soundbites.
i'm agnostic on whether this was caused by being on tv or the other way around

a major problem in prosecuting hegseth would be that he's a very stupid man who appears to constantly be doing an impression of a movie character who has his job - i think it'd be really hard to prove he understood or meant any of what he said
Who is feeding them this bullshit
Oh did you hear this on a *podcast*???

it's so funny to be like 'luddite vandalism will work this time, posted from my iphone'
this person seems pleasant
i last lived in dc in 2013, so i can't say how it might have changed since then, but the sandwiches were absurdly packed - to the point that a chicken salad sandwich on wheat was basically cubic
i thought deerhunter was pretty bad when i saw them live
joan jett puts on an incredible show
she was curious specifically about the italian sub looking one right at the top, currently. i was just wondering whether any were from the GW Deli in foggy bottom
introduced my girlfriend to your website. she's really into it but wanted background information on the sandwiches - we both agreed it would ruin the aesthetics of the page to put it directly on there but is there a registry somewhere of the sandwiches which have been made to rotate
Pretty sure it's this guy
if they manage to make donald trump do these two things specifically, we might all have to make shahada, honestly
give me a couple years - i bet i could write and sell this novel
I can't be the only one who thinks if the troops wanted to they could put together an oil convoy and dominate the rub al-khali
fukuyama end zone dance
truly incredible how reliable 'ask yourself what donald trump wants or would do and then do the opposite' on basically all possible questions
i dearly love the world cup but for the well-being of the world it's probably important that it be a complete disaster and abject humiliation for the united states
jd vance and don jr certainly do
standing up and saluting as i watch my portfolio tank
tears in my eyes, thank you president trump
we are defeating my woke 401k
god bless benjamin netanyahu
god bless jeffrey epstein
