Kuch logon ko chaand aur sitaaron mein Islam dikhta hai, kuch ko rainbow mein LGBTQ+ identity, aur kuch ko lotus mein BJP. Main unmein se nahi hoon. Associating natural phenomena with social identities repulses me.

We asked GPT-6 Astra to edit Qwen3.5-0.8B weights to improve math. It directly changed only 0.016% of weights, fixing 0.8B's reasoning loops & improving math up to 6x and even instruction following 3x, without gradients or training. We call this Weight-Space Programming: frontier LLMs can now natively read/write neural network weights! 🧵 Blog: rikiyat.github.io/blog/weigh…

Same with Indian men, due to caste thinking
Muslim men's dehumanization of women runs so fucking deep that they see them as personal property that becomes akin to their own body part. They see men lusting after their wives as themselves being molested. But instead of confronting the man they take it out on their wives

Leftists will rather kill themselves than having technology produce communist utopia but without any violence or bloodshed.
AI is popular because it disrupts content distribution monopolies and rights holders grasp over the culture. It is unpopular among people who depend on those monopolies, because everyone wants to redistribute the means of production until it actually starts happening.

Dragon Ball & Doraemon should be shown to every generation
It's a rather disappointing thing knowing that the vast majority of kids born after 2010 will never get to see this cartoon. I genuinely believe my anti-Heideggerian views are a result of influence of Doraemon.

I hate to say this, but Sam is right here. And the way this is phrased is incredibly disingenuous. He is NOT saying nobody should have RAM. The surrounding discussion was cut out: the question was about compute shortages and why higher memory prices weren’t bringing enough new supply. His point was that everyone buying dedicated hardware with 128GB of RAM to run local models wouldn’t solve that shortage. And he’s right. Even if local models get exceptionally good (which they aren't rn), your hardware sits idle when you aren’t running them and you have limited burst usage. When supply is limited, sharing compute makes better use of what’s available: you can access more capacity than you could reasonably own, pay for what you use, and leave that capacity available to someone else when you’re done. If you’re reading that as “everyone should just use closed source models”, that doesn’t follow either. Shared hardware can run open models too and this is purely an allocation argument in a compute crisis. A library is a useful comparison here: several shared copies of books can serve readers who would otherwise each need their own. That doesn’t eliminate the reasons to own books, neither does it make more books appear. It just lets more people use the copies available. I'm pissed that I even have to defend this, but framing his statement like this is misleading and prevents meaningful discussion.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes people owning RAM is wasteful, and that it belongs in data centers instead. "From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer."

calling a woman “creepy” because she didn’t spend her life serving a husband and raising kids is exactly why some women choose peace instead...
This bitch is 65 years old, has never been married and never had kids, and lives in a castle with her cats? That’s so creepy

I used to think this too until AI solved the Erdős conjecture. At this point, arguing that AI is simply synthesizing existing knowledge is like arguing that Einstein never really came up with General Relativity because he was simply synthesizing the work of Riemann, Poincare, etc.
Henry Farrell and Cosma Shalizi argue in the Economist that AI is not an incipient Digital God, but rather a "condensate of human culture": a statistical floor plan of Jacques Barzun's "House of Intellect," animated like an oral bard's repertoire of tropes. (1/4)
