WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY. It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill, free college, 0% down home loans, and low interest business loans. It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary. It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present. That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security. You want a higher birth rate now? Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay. That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

Things we learned recently: -Data centers are bot farms -Bot farms sway elections -Billionaires want data centers Do the math.

💯 - the unspoken truth is that you have to lie about current capabilities to close deals & then turn around and build whatever you were able to sell. This is the cause of tension between sales & prod/eng depts.

🎯 - this is why it feels like society is about to collapse btw. All the boomers are trying to hold their breaths long enough to cash out + run with the bag, while all the under 40yo's are desperately trying to scrape enough together before the ceiling caves in. Bad situation..

No, you cannot walk 10,000 steps daily, get 8 hours of sleep, cook every night, clean every day, take care of a family, make time for your own hobbies, and still be productive at work every day. This is not just propaganda, it is nonsense. Free yourself from it.

So if I purchase a DVD and digitize it, that’s copyright infringement. But if an AI company buys my book and scans it to train their system, that’s perfectly fine? Once again, corporations are allowed to play by their own rules. I’m so sick of the hypocrisy.

Wake up Neo...

Brilliant design

Umm....yes, obviously. Multiple years of net 0/- GDP growth when you strip out AI infra spending while rates surge & the underlying economy deteriorates is an exact manifestation of Dutch disease. Made much worse by how financialized the US economy is. We're all in on tokens

The whole point of this circus is to ascend. Earth gave you trauma, lust, ego, money, fear, exes, taxes and algorithms, and you still think the mission is to get comfortable? Fam, how many side quests do you need before you clock the main one? Earth is basically spiritual GTA. Temptation everywhere, random boss fights, people trying to rob your energy, and half the population still thinks the mission is get a mortgage and die politely. The game is simple. Master yourself, stop getting baited by every impulse, learn what the fuck you are, then ascend. People turned the tutorial into a 70-year side quest. Imagine reincarnating 12 times just to keep falling for lust, ego, money and people’s opinions. Brother, complete the fucking level. You got dropped into a body with desires, fear, trauma, hormones, ego and free will, then surrounded by distractions 24/7. And people still can’t work out there might be a test going on. Comedy. Life keeps sending the same lesson wearing different faces and people keep calling it bad luck. Fam, at some point you’ve gotta pass the fucking exam. The wildest part is people think the goal is comfort. Nothing about this place looks designed for comfort. It looks like a spiritual obstacle course You came here naked, leave with nothing, and somehow people think the whole point was collecting shit in between. Mad

In light of the latest Anthropic's latest not-particularly-oblique attempt to build a case against open weights, I thought I would write down how I currently think about open weight AI models. (1) Open weights have been deeply, irreplaceably useful for AI safety.
