Sex crime laws are increasingly being used as general morality enforcement laws, with openly articulated ideological imperatives. Clever, since if anyone objects to the vastly expanded application of these laws, they can be denounced as "defending" rape, trafficking, pedos, etc.
tragedy of modern attention span. efficiency is more important than ambiance of the story
When I read older books, I'm always struck by how unoptimized they are. Books wandered in their prose, had meandering backstories for side characters, and had strange and illogical plot points. Now, it's like every word in a book has to be razor-focused, hurtling toward the conclusion. There's no room for idle dreaming.

I am a broken record about this, but: frontier agents are not going to be a purely digital phenomenon for much longer. They will be able to use anything in the physical world that can be actuated programmatically—first competently, then at human-expert level, then superhuman. By and large, we probably won’t need specialist models; the frontier models will just do it. If your model of the future hinges on physical AI happening “for real” many years into the future, I think you will be in for a surprise.
i went to bed and asked claude to paint an autumn tree overnight.
at around 4am, it realised that it didn't have some shades -- so it stopped and titrated its own paint: diluting red, sienna and madder step by step on a second palette, then measuring each pocket from a photo.
woke up to this beautiful watercolor painting. 303 brush marks, took about 4.5 hours 🍂 (still working on the speed)
do they have any idea how absolutely stupid this makes the american military look? You're talking about football and french fries?

I love post-election euphoria as much as the next guy but the idea that the war machine goes away because the other party has votes is comically myopic

my spidey senses are telling me the labs are, as we speak, using unguardrailed versions of their unreleased models to systematically reverse-engineer ALL of the internet’s software, apps, and games, then feeding the reconstructed source code straight into their training pipelines while simultaneously building guardrails to ladder-pull the rest of us
