AI shitposting has reached incredible levels.

I hate, with all my body and soul, watching videos of bombs go off and seeing numerous comments of people *excited* by the violence. Anything beyond "it was terrible, but it had to be done" lacks a humanity that I can only describe as revenge/hatred fueled evil.

This is a special kind of dissonance... And I say this as someone who is really cheering on Elon (especially with SpaceX, Tesla, and boring) and hopes the best for him.

When will Anthropic release a file upload / artifacts API?

I'm deeply uncomfortable with Sequoia partner Shaun Maguire promoting election denialism Scratching my head figuring out what sort of value he can provide in a board room or during fundraising if he's willing to torch his (and his firms') reputation for sloppy anecdotes

The policy I agree with on the "right" is the requirement of identification to vote (and do other things). It's insulting to over-intellectualize this debate. Accurate identification should be 1) easy to access and 2) easy to use.

The GOP: Let's elect a felonous, potentially traitorous candidate who coup'd our entire party via entertainment/conspiracies to be our oldest president in history! The GOP (now losing): If you don't vote for us, you make the other party too powerful and are against democracy!

The perfect moment on the internet was when the majority of Geocities/etc were just teenagers or techies, and the only thing mainstream was AOL. Everyone had their enclave, it was all fun & games, very little seriousness, and surfing the web felt like true exploration.

We'll be live in ~5 minutes for a workshop on bolt.new, WebContainer, and AI in general. This will be a fun one. You can join us here: crowdcast.io/c/ai-assisted-… Come and say Hi!

I remember back when Uber had higher standards than Lyft (car wise). Now my Uber has a big dent/crumple in the front and cigarette burned seats in the back with holes.

Some folks are pessimistic saying "but these were teleoperated". Still -- for teleoperation, the smoothness of possible remote operation is a big leap forward. And all of this is training data that can create additional synthetic simulations for full automation in <4 years.

My first regular commute taken in a Waymo. It’s usually not fast enough, but in this case it was 35% cheaper than Uber, so I waited the extra 8 minutes. Also the first team I’ve seen Waymo undercut human drivers by over 10%.

There are two camps of people working on agents right now. 1) Generic agents. The classic demo is "buy me a pizza". 2) Specific agents. Demos tend to be based on the vertical they target. Don't try to judge one type based on the success criteria of the other.

LLM software companies are just wrappers of NVIDIA.

Hot take: freedom of speech is not on the ballot. Both candidates are for freedom of speech. There are nuanced differences, in particular does censorship equate solely to blocking, or does it include of overwhelming signal with nonsense. And that’s a hard question to answer.

This is the Paul vs Naval debate I’ve been waiting for. Arguably the top two SV thought leaders of all time, so many people relinquish their own thinking and parrot what others say. Now with clear disagreement, you must make your own choice.

Haven’t laughed this hard in a while at a meme.

Can anyone verify if this is real or not? It seems way too weird and crazy to be real. If it is real, it seems to be certain that Trump is very unwell. youtube.com/watch?v=6Gi-iE…
