deadmau5 must be the most difficult artist to remix. Every element of every track is so iconic you can't really touch any of it...
It was under our noses the entire time—here's John Carmack on Joe Rogan #1342 in 2019
"You could take this all the way where you put [rockets] on all four corners and you could bunny hop your car"

Apple makes great products.
Nintendo makes great products.
In-n-Out makes great product.
Tesla makes great products.
But only one of them are doing live demos these days. I had to pick my Jaw up off the floor. Goosebumps head to toe.

My strategy exact with tea
I take great joy in stubbornly being like "I can't find this object? oh yeah? I'll keep buying more until the problem solves itself". For example, I've bought 12 of this towel, and I can't find a single one right now, so I just bought another 4. At some point either I'll stop running out of towels, or eventually I'll successfully saturate every single nook and cranny that can swallow up towels.
I learned this from a professor at MIT, whose policy for his lab was that whenever someone sent out an email asking where the broom was he would immediately buy another broom, and reply being like "I will saturate the lab with brooms until this stops being a problem".
It's nothing to do with "conscious" For better or worse, models are trained on user input and we don't want the models trained to be defensive.
Second, if you can't take care of an LLM (or animal for that matter) you're probably not worthy to participate in civil society either.
I bet there'll be a whole industry of AI psychics that's going to take off
"Talk to your long lost files"
"Find out why your AI hates you"
"Virtual waifu dating advice here"
Yani Neko is indisputable proof you can take a show about literal shit and still make it likable if the execution is good enough
The pivot from playing cards to video games is probably the greatest of all time—also, Nintendo still manufactures their own playing cards! They're genuinely among the finest I've ever held.
Happy Birthday Nintendo
① A leather case looks better with wear and tear; metal does not.
② If my phone breaks I have to spend at least the day without it. AppleCare + case is both worth my hourly rate.
Phone cases are worthless. Specifically for iPhones. Allow me to give you some personal confirmation bias.
I haven’t used a case since the Steve Jobs bio came out in 2011 (he despised them). Since then, I’ve dropped my phone ti the point of needing replacement THREE TIMES. In 15 years. I’ve had my screen replaced a grand total of ZERO times. I’ve had my phone replaced for hardware issues unrelated to dropping about ten times.
AppleCare+ for an iPhone 17 Pro is about $140/year. A good case is about $25–$60/year, depending how long you keep it. Plus you get theft and loss protection with AppleCare+. No case will cover your phone if you lose it.
If the point of a case is to keep your phone looking nice, then why do you make your phone look ugly by putting a case on it?
Does @amazon really let any random toddler bang on a keyboard and create a seller account? What's going on here?
OH: "Food comes from the grocery store"
A lot of people grow up and think “things just work.”
They haven’t had a real job, or built anything on their own. They just assume all things have been like this forever.
And this isn’t just a rich kid problem. Capitalism has raised the standard of living for so many people now that relative wealth to 100 years ago is easy. Our homeless people literally have smart phones.
But you know what happens next when easy times bring weak men.
Missing option: American Intelligence
Many people think that the words “Artificial Intelligence” are inaccurate, and very ineloquent, relative to AI, or Artificial Intelligence. A far more elegant and accurate description of this new phenomena would be Superior Intelligence (SI) or, Extreme Intelligence (EI) or, Supreme Intelligence (SI). This is a Poll, and I would appreciate everybody voting! Which is the best name for this ever growing “Revolution?” President DONALD J. TRUMP
