Threatening with nukes happens every few months. At first glance, last time was in March. Putin, the boy that cried nuke.

How about no more data and the great Sam Altman can use his genius to develop a much more efficient AI first. Or admit they basically lucked into a working model and he’s out of ideas now.

Because telling your manager that this (online or in office) meeting is useless for you always works out great. /s Very often there is a discussion between two people and the rest are just spectators, but leaving is disrespectful.

Most bosses equate having fun with not working and so not having fun with being productive. However, most workers are in a twilight state of not having fun and not being productive.

Rinse? With the modern machines it’s an elaborate cleaning out the grounds or capsules, refilling water, carefully taking the tray with spills to the sink to empty and maybe checking milk too.

Office Space is a documentary

And they they go on about the free flow of ideas, innovations and cooperation. Please, we were all sitting there with headphones trying to isolate ourselves to get anything done because some manager would always be on a loud phone call and using a meeting space to work was forbidden.

Driving to customers or flying to the other side of the world for a meeting was such a big time sink.

It also reminds me of the story of Rotterdam harbour where they just couldn’t find any people anymore. Turns out that the cost of commuting was so high, people made more money doing lower paid work closer to home.

The first hour in the office was spent staring at the screen wiggling the mouse from time to time when the screen saver came on because too tired from commuting every day. But, it was at the office so it was productive staring I guess.

That’s human history. The wealth gets pulled towards a small elite because king, high priest or banker. It reaches a peak and then there is a revolution, the debt records are burned and the land is redistributed. Measures are out in place to prevent wealth concentration and the new elite starts chipping away at the measures. Rinse and repeat.

We know this but always choose to ignore the dynamic.

The famous “talk and remove all doubt” zone

It’s Vance. You have any idea what’s in the couch cushions?

At this stage, there should be some democrat comedy TV program with guys in dumb and dumber tuxedos spouting the weirdest things about republicans. Things like the Trump signs in the front yard contain a camera and act as a 5G antenna.

It’s why critical equipment has a very tight delivery deadline. If it arrives a minute late it’s assumed somebody tampered with it along the supply chain and the equipment is rejected.

Usually we get an AI winter, until somebody develops a model that can overcome that limitation of needing more and more data. In this case by having some basic understanding instead of just having a regurgitation engine for example. Of course that model runs into the limit of only having basic understanding, not advanced understanding and again there is an AI winter.

That’s normal. The printing press spread scientific knowledge and informed people with newspapers. It also gave us ad riddled glossy magazines and political pamphlets. Same for radio and TV.

Born outside the USA, so Elon can’t run for president.

“Our lies are lethally backfiring and we desperately need to blame someone else”

I usually say what unit of measurement we’re counting in: days, weeks or months. For more detail, more specs are needed.
