if anything, he's *worse* at this now, actively profiting off the continuing destruction of his own industry while making some of the most tone deaf, selfish and idiotic public statements in an industry full of tone deaf, selfish idiots. full dance on LGS's grave:
26 whole years later, & not an inkling of "Yeah, maybe I could have handled that a great deal better back then, or just didn't say anything at all." Seen it praised for "autistic rationality." A convenient excuse for just being a royal twat, likely silently seething & harboring a chunk of envy.
The deconstruction of the sex cult that, for some strange reason, is at the center of almost all AI development in California, is back up -- now presumably vetted by legal advice and still damning as all hell.

i'm just gonna correct dmitry here and note that if i had a howitzer i could get my local tv station to put on the air whatever the hell i wanted i can be trusted with this power, 100% completely, by the way
I started a thread debunking these claims with links to Kiel, programs monitoring Ukraine aid money, the fact the US cut off funding once Trump was in, data showing most of what the US gave was military aid and you can't buy TV ads in Ohio with a Howitzer... ... but fuck it. It's late. I'm tired.
it will shock you to learn that elon musk is making bad posts about conspiracy theories on right wing twitter again remember that trump's first impeachment was due to his pressuring zelensky over an insane vote tampering conspiracy involving a dnc server hidden in ukraine for some reason
Hey everyone, gather around! Elon Musk, the trillionaire defense contractor currently spending >$400m on political campaigns to prop up the party of a deeply unpopular president who launched the Iran War has some thoughts about Ukraine, elites, and money in politics.

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING is very divisive right now, but there's one trick it uses that even its most ardent haters would have to concede is very effective. Fielder displays his shots in rapid succession, 30+ per second, which makes it seem like Elizabeth Holmes and him are really moving on the screen

i don't think i've ever seen a campaign do a murder-suicide before (decent chance this drags down the entire GOP ticket in the state)
Confirmed: this is a black propaganda campaign by Ken Paxton and it's dirty as hell, much like Ken Paxton. They're also doing physical mailers which are clearly aimed at 60+ boomers (because who checks their snail mail any more)
Although the organization it links is real, I’ve had no contact with them and ActBlue thinks I live in Georgia for some reason. I’m seriously wondering if this is black ops from Republicans - mass texting Texans about school bathrooms seems VERY GOP
"Black propaganda" isn't a racial reference, btw, it's a specific form of propaganda designed to mask its origin
and this was funded by everyone's favorite oligarch with a misshapen penis
I'm just stunned about everything about this. Vivek is making an extremely ugly family issue (Acton was the victim of child rape) a political issue to try to capture voters estranged by their children. Words fail as to how unutterably evil this is.
Wrote last week on The Rooster about Conman cutting an ad with Amy Acton's estranged mother as his "October surprise." Well, here it is. Polling on it just went out.

I at this point am like 90% convinced that reusable/shareable skills packages are a bad thing for LLM users. The 10% is that it can show you what's possible; the 90% is that people want to be incurious and just slap something in the only person who can effectively guide your tasks is you

Bit of an odd job here. Anthropic looking for a person to design and run tabletop exercises and wargames.
this one seems solid
