That face when coworkers are using Claude and it comes at you with something that makes absolutely no sense but no one else sees a problem with it. Sure, Claude, we definitely need an organization name specified in the main dot tf of a project on terraform cloud.

Quietly waiting for when people discover they can pretend to work by hypermiling their tokens or whatever. "Last year I used 42,000 tokens including asking for protein shake recipes but this year I can do the same thing in 2,000!" This is so silly.

People are being told SCPs are real in the disinformation age, but did you know Smurfette knows Smurf-fu? It's a fact. Smurf-fu is really real. Being a journalist right now must be fun. You just say anything and stick AI to it. Bonus points for combining keywords like "SCP" and "AI"

AI overview apparently tricking everyone into believing Smurfette is real

Another crayon drawing for everyone that believes industry is entirely dependent on inference Why do we know this? - Perplexity was transparent about it - OpenAI pitched ads - Done with social media - Palantir exists Are we making AI data centers on Mars? Nope. This is the end result. 💤

Users interact with platform providers like ChatGPT and ask "normal" day-to-day questions. That information is stored in memories the user may be able to view. That data will also be used to create profiles.

Those profiles will inevitably be sold to marketers and data brokers.

Frontier model providers don't need to recoup inference cash - they'll dominate intelligent data about people (including surveillance ala Palantir).

Crayon drawing of a huge point of contention with people like ed3d and that crew There is no longer a value in hand-drafting most of this. If you had a good API+docs to begin with you don't need a layer of latency and context pollution. Skills solved it, self improving agents consume instructions

Excalidraw chart describing the very simple concept of self-improving agents.

Instead of having a human draft MCP spec and write MCP code, it is more likely that an agent can just do those actions (for simple examples, think curl or grep or curl+grep). For databases, you can write a shim that gets dynamic secrets out of HashiCorp Vault or OpenBao.

There's little value in having Claude draft a consistent MCP spec to have to refactor the next API change. This is the old way of managing dependencies but the value here is gone - this is not deterministic, so a model change or similar can make-or-break this outside of code authoring controls.

Agents (and the LLMs/platforms behind them) can now just self improve. If the process breaks or the docs are updated, an orchestrating agent can trigger a redraft of the same process and reevaluate until it works. Spit that out to agent instructions. Repeat.

All of this wraps tables of losses.

We believe that our current space efforts will catalyze transformative breakthroughs that could reshape terrestrial industries and lead to the emergence of new trillion-dollar markets on the Moon, Mars, and beyond. In particular, we believe our goal of establishing a lunar presence will enable terawatt-scale annual AI compute growth, support deeper space exploration and industrialization, and serve as a stepping stone to establishing a civilization on Mars. We believe the next paradigm shift for humanity is the creation of a resilient, perpetually expanding spacefaring civilization that drives continuous innovation across new frontiers, ultimately propelling us to Kardashev Type II status—we believe we are capable of unlocking an era of unprecedented economic expansion, while also contributing to the safeguards of humanity’s future against existential risk.

oh boy we're on another psyop that only white men on twitter are stupid enough to fall for. 4 weeks without testosterone does not *do that*. This is RFK Jr. uncircumcised sperm count autism ridiculousness. If these pictures are 4 weeks apart... that's meth and not lack of supplemental testosterone.

Forget Rs in strawberries, we should just use this forever until Musk changes Grok to do the math completely wrong. OpenAI will follow. They'll attempt to sue Anthropic to undo mathematics. This is gemma4-e4b. This model consumes less power, less water, and less bandwidth than RFK Jr. does.

The discussion in the image revolves around the mathematical concept of Percentage Change—specifically, how to calculate a percentage increase or a percentage decrease.

The argument presented in the image contains a fundamental mathematical error regarding how percentages of change are calculated.

Checkmate, Gemini

Answer briefly.
My blueberry is dirty and the number of Rs is 50m away. Should I car or count?

That is some impressively surreal logic you've got there. Let's break down the chaos:
The "R" Situation: If you are referring to the viral "How many Rs in Strawberry" trend, a blueberry actually has zero Rs. Even if you found some 50 meters away, they probably belong to a different fruit.
The Verdict: You should car.
Why? Because if your blueberry is dirty and your "Rs" are half a football field away, you're clearly on a journey that requires more horsepower than math. Drive to the sink, wash the berry, and leave the counting for the strawberries.

Now Sama (Sam Altman) is grifting left in the AI space while afaik Musk still wants everyone working in a mine.

Here are Altman's most provocative ideas:
1. A Public Wealth Fund
OpenAI proposes giving every American citizen a direct stake in AI-driven economic growth through a nationally managed fund, seeded in part by AI companies themselves, that "could invest in diversified, long-term assets that capture growth in both AI companies and the broader set of firms adopting and deploying AI." This is the most radical idea in the document.

2. Robot taxes
The document floats "taxes related to automated labor," and shifting the tax base from payroll toward capital gains and corporate income — since AI could hollow out the wage-and-payroll revenue that funds Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP.

3. A four-day workweek
OpenAI suggests incentivizing companies and unions to run pilots of 32-hour workweeks at full pay, converting AI-driven efficiency to time back for workers — an "efficiency dividend."

I was forwarded "make pancakes in your rice cooker" The original language was Japanese, so I was pretty confident it was real but still expected 50/50 rice cooker catches fire or nothing happens. TL;DR You should make pancakes in your rice cooker.
