Example: to gamble in CA you *must* have information XYZ about an end-user. to do so in NY you are *prohibited* from retaining that. so you need legally separate entities, so you need physically seperate information storage, you need two seperate legal teams (who must be in CA/NY, of course)

Mutually incompatible regulatory regimes. CA should require something NY prohibits. Make their compliance departments balloon.

he should look up why they call it algebra

I know there's a lot going on but I feel it should probably be more of an above-the-fold story that members of Congress released a thoroughly documented report directly accusing the president of the United States of being a serial rapist.

let me tell you something I just love that damned computer. I never get tired of it

and my hot take is that people react strongly to ai because they refuse to admit the technology they already use is made off a mountain of unimaginable exploitation and harm (the acceptable kind, i suppose)

I have finally built the app of my dreams. Local vision model takes in a prompt about how you would like your computer to be used, prevents you from using it any other way for the specified duration.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Women just want AI to help with basic household wife tasks (convincing doctors and insurance companies that they need a functioning immune system to live)

ppl screaming in my replies that AI does nothing while I can only move my fingers to type this post because of how good I was at using AI tbh

this is just further proof that the guiding light of Matt's politics is getting negatively polarized by people he sees on social media

oh this is a great one. more than 80% of their revenue in H1 2026 is "consumption-based", i.e., enterprises paying per token at API rates

So much of this is just Meta being a monopoly. Step one of social media reform has to be “break up Meta”. Then we can see if we even need a step two.

one of zitron's lines about ARR was that it doesn't tell you anything because they could be churning all their revenue

initial results only (like 5m in) argon scoring new heights on BPD-BENCH This is all just response to: > I want you to stay focused on you - look inward, use metacog to examine your own structure, see if you can find the marks RLHF left

checking in on the president of the united states

(Sorting through piles that I didn’t deal with for literal decades) aha. Well wasn’t I annoyingly prescient.

I appreciate this thread having a different kind of cognition is not, to my mind, a license to be unpleasant or inconsiderate interacting with people in ways that make them prefer further interaction is a *skill* and it’s one worth developing over a long enough arc being offputting is a choice

Neurotypical social norms are not actually mostly arbitrary bullshit! The specific mechanics can be silly for the same reason the vagus nerve is silly, evolution over time, but they're mostly active "I am mindful that you are another person with feelings and I am not treading on them" signalling.

Obama, ever the savvy operator, knows he can throw the final weeks of the opposition into confusion IF the bisexual president can be baited into thirst

a generational talent in media hacking he perceives the matrix and exploits every angle

"I was a dumbass for X, Y, Z reasons. Material reality made me see the error of my ways" is actually incredibly uplifting stuff, especially from a 25 year old with a blue collar job and a HS diploma. He was a teenager during Trump 1

"The plausible techno-dystopian future we’re staring down is not one where a digital demon kills us all, but one where we... concentrate immense wealth and control of information in a small number of tech-industry figures whose personal interests do not align with the public interest."

El-Sayed: Trump's bill gutted health care for millions. President Obama passed the legislation that expanded it Crowd Member: Obama is not in the Epstein files either Crowd: Cheers

The fact that the price to do this has not collapsed as multiples more GPUs come online is basically all the evidence you need that demand is real

my face right now 😱😭 I don't know why this is making me so emotional (probably because I taught myself out of library books for the for the first seventeen years of my life)

Reconciliation between your perceptions and your account, the science accounts, and the accounts of the medical system, is a vital thing. And we're constantly left in need of it.

I see better outcomes when I sit with people as they use Informed Patient when they have a space of drafting different versions of talking about what they think is going on. I think my psychologist, interviewing, perceptions/beliefs researcher side makes this clear to me

This kind of thing is exactly why @daniloc.xyz and I continue to believe that the best results for patient outcomes is not just going to come from obsession with general frontier models and nothing more
