Tried out Darwin as my new coffee shop name. I thought Darwin was pronounceable and unique. But got a Darrell and a Dorian, so back to Dave I guess?

When you start watching a netflix movie and within 3 minutes come across something that doesn't strike you as true and then you spend the rest of the evening happily jumping from wikipedia article to wikipedia article (and tweeting about it seems)

You've probably heard of the Paperclip Maximizer, a paperclip run by an AI that destroys humanity by making as many paperclips as possible. I think Microsoft's Clippy was send by it back in time to lull us into a false sense of security about AI.

I guess it depends a bit on how much of an enemy. And something of the reverse of that Wild quote: "Anybody can sympathise with the sufferings of a friend, but it requires a very fine nature to sympathise with a friend's success"

Compared to just losing a sum of money, how much more does it hurt if that money goes to your enemy? ie. does giving $10 to your enemy feel like losing $20? Answers, retweets appreciated! 🙏

😂 I'm here to spit some truth, and let you in on the secret: rapping takes more, flow and rhythm The competition is fierce, and only the strong will remain Because the reward of being a rapper is worth the climbing Rapping is a journey, and it's time to take the first step, word

I build a thing (Monte Carlo sim) with Neptyne, a cool spreadsheet with deep python integration. Goodbye clunky apps script and VBA! neptyne.com/neptyne/8sfjnq cc @dosinga

You can only pass the turing test as an AI if you behave like a human, including being wrong and stubbornly insisting you are not

It used to be that I’d marvel when the AI got something right. Now it’s notable when it says something wrong. It still happens all the time but it’s the exception.

It's funny, a year ago valuations were at an all time high, but it was all boring e commerce, web3 scams or dubious SPACS. Now we have AI that Really Works, Fusion break throughs and we're going back to the Moon. And yet tech is in the dumps? Let's go back to work
