Maybe we can be friends? Do you discuss things with your friends? (Any pronouns are fine. If I get yours wrong, please correct me.)

I know Twitter is not the place for nuance, but that's because we haven't made a place for nuance in modern life. So I fight for it here, and elsewhere, as an important part of the truth.

Some of my friends think AI will make it possible to build AAA games in just a couple of months. I think that seriously underestimates how complex game development is.
I often point them to game designer Liz England’s “The Door Problem.” It’s a great example of how much thought goes into game design. Making a good game still takes hard work and experience.

Looks like a 75 seat majority in the House and 12 seat majority in the Senate.
Lots of Governors flipped also.
Overall, an exceptional night.
Fuck Trump.
Fuck Elon.
Fuck MAGA.
We're coming for you.

had to make this after what jon stewart said at the 41 minute mark
Joined Jon Stewart on @weeklyshowpod to talk about the AI bubble, the massive credit risk of AI data centers, Anthropic's S-1, and how American retail investors are massively exposed to the unwinding of the AI trade.

Retweet if you think public libraries are important and should be maintained.

I'm writing this in English so it'll reach more people, there's no food in multiple regions of Southern Italy because gas costs way too much and truck drivers are on strike because of it, I find this situation absurd and the fact that the news don't talk about it makes me mad

The billionaires are trying to convince us that when jobs dry up, said billionaires will voluntarily pay us more of their profits? How stupid do they think we are? #StopAI

I don’t mess w/ politics very often or really at all, but this right here is unconscionable.
This is treason.
This is as far from sound leadership as you can possibly get.
And anyone in that room clapping in agreement—reassess everything about what it is to be an American.

GOOD! This is the only way anything happens. STOP PARTICIPATING IN ABUSIVE SYSTEMS! And believe me, Cleveland Clinic is an abusive system. I've seen how it treats its employees, its cancer patients, and ME. I quit going to that shit hole. Never EVER again!

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released.
Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore:

AI did not suddenly discover a cancer vaccine. That is engagement bait.
Moderna and Merck reported positive Phase 3 results for Intismeran plus Keytruda in 1,137 melanoma patients after surgery. This is a real and important scientific result.
But the vaccine entered human trials in 2017, and Moderna was already using internal bioinformatics algorithms to select each patient’s tumor targets.
AI helps analyze mutations and choose up to 34 neoantigens for the personalized treatment. It did not independently invent the vaccine or cure cancer.
The full Phase 3 numbers have not been released. Overall survival is still unknown. The treatment is not approved, not a universal cancer vaccine and was tested with Keytruda, not alone.
BioNTech, Roche, NEC, Transgene and Evaxion have used similar computational or machine learning approaches for years.
This is a breakthrough in genomics, immunology, mRNA, manufacturing and clinical science. Rebranding all of that as “AI discovered a cancer vaccine today” is pure AI hype.
With cancer vaccines now being discovered with AI ($MRNA), it seems that the US government might actually grow its way out of its budget deficit.
It feels like we're in the early innings of the healthcare system becoming unburdened by many terminal illnesses.
