It's crazy that there's a tool out there that's become vital to they way I do my job, parent my kids, and make major life decisions; and yet we barely spend more on it than AI
TIL that global spending on alcohol is still larger than AI infrastructure spending this year ($1.7T vs $1.5T)

did a dog write this
A surprising new study finds that people who sleep near their dogs don’t experience disrupted sleep. If anything, the University of Toronto researchers discovered, we humans are the ones disturbing our dogs’ sleep. nbcnews.com/health/health-ne…

I must be among an extremely small group of people (n=1?) that have both 1) trained a frontier LLM and 2) designed and synthesized custom viruses in a lab with my own two hands. And I think that the takes on AI killing us all by creating dangerous viruses is total bogus.

Counterintuitively, the situation turns out to be equally bad or even worse there: all taxes included, billionaires pay only 15%-20% of their income in taxes. And because the rest of the population pays a lot of tax, the gap between the effective tax rate of the middle class and that of billionaires is particularly large in Sweden and Norway.

This one is brutal—and load-bearing. That is the cleanest, most legible summary.

Our latest video takes a look at geographic, economic and military factors impacting a US v China war. And explains why such a war would last for years. youtu.be/5uqhZDeyse0

A million people have rightly dunked on this guy, & I don’t care, I’m going to do it too, bc these people should have their catastrophic and massively consequential failures in judgement shoved in their faces forever. Sometimes a dog doesn’t learn unless you rub it’s face in it.
Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.

you weren’t robbed. you chose it because you thought you could devastate millions of people’s lives without causing harm to your own. you fully deserved every bit of it.

$300 for a Gunther Eagleman retweet is an absolute steal in this economy

I've been reflecting on the Bryon Noem story, and I think we should be more understanding. Sure, he messed up. But he's in the doghouse right now, and when you marry Kristi Noem that's a very dangerous place to be.

A few people asked me to make an image of how much irrigated farmland would use the same water required for ALL ChatGPT usage, including every part of the process. I did a botec and my best guess right now is that inference uses about as much water as training, and power generation uses ~5x as much water as the data centers themselves, so it looks something like this. The water cost of manufacturing chips is marginal compared to how much water they use over their lifetimes.

to understand Liza Minnelli, as a concept, you have to remember that she’s literally the child of a homosexual man and Judy Garland -- basically, the gay Kwisatz Haderach

Graham Platner should not be in the Senate for the exact same reason Fetterman should not have been. It doesn’t matter what their policy positions are now — if they’re dumb (and they are dumb) they are bound to make bad choices in the future and evolve in ways you’ll dislike.

Leftists gave us Fetterman over a much better alternative in the primary and are now using the candidate they got elected as evidence voting doesn’t work
If yall think voting blue no matter who is gonna solve this problem, I have John Fettermans voting record to prove that statement invalid.
