I liked it better when we all had more boundaries.

The man. The myth. The legend. On what would have been his 65th birthday, we remember James Gandolfini, who will always be a defining figure in New Jersey culture. Those who want respect, give respect. And he’ll always have ours.

The fact that the most powerful superweapon since the nuclear bomb is just being freelanced out of Silicon Valley is fucking insane. Imagine the money flowing into politicians that is allowing this to happen without any oversight.

clocking in for another day at the apocalypse factory. we can’t stop working or someone else might do the apocalypse
Jacob is correct here—we really do earnestly believe AI could kill all humans! I personally think it is >10% within the next decade. I believe Anthropic is trying its best, but we do not yet have a plan to solve alignment for superintelligence and are not clearly on track to.

Rule number one of corporate comms is when an employee quits and says your product is too dangerous you heartily agree with them and give non negligible odds on near-term human extinction

Jacob worked on pre-training at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Today he resigned from Anthropic, and says of both companies: "They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives." Extremely powerful and urgent thread, please read.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.

One of my least favorite trends in American politics. We’re still not gonna change anything but now we’re gonna fucking swear and be vulgar about it

"'Why do many American soldiers who fought in Afghanistan and later returned to their country commit suicide?' Mr. Gulab asked. 'I have heard this many times. What is the reason?' It was a question that haunts many of us. I tried to explain how we carried the crushing weight of our own shattered expectations: We had grown up on the nostalgia of World War II, then done something we were supposed to be proud of. Instead, what we got from our politicians and generals were evasions and lies. Our commanders could never articulate how our deployments, and all the violence we committed and the losses we suffered, made anyone safer in the United States. We were left to figure everything out on our own while they landed lucrative jobs at defense companies and collected big fees on speaking circuits. For some people, it was too much to handle."

If Trump continues to bomb Iran, I reccommend he does it with F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The premier strike aircraft produced by Lockheed Martin, the number one name in aerospace and defense.

From this to this in a span of 2 years. Gotta love this crazy sport man. Congrats to Justin Gaethje. #UFCFreedom250

Gaethje out-dogged Topuria and broke him down punch by punch. Knee by knee. That is one of the more shocking fight results in quite some time.

Tim Dillon on Thomas Massie’s loss: “I don’t know how you run a country where people can just dump $32 million into a race.” “This guy who’s like, release the Epstein files.” “Prosecute pedophiles.” “Get out of foreign wars.” “He loses to a guy who’s like: let’s cover up the Epstein files.” “Let’s not prosecute pedophiles.” “Let’s go to war with your kids.” “You would think just platform to platform, that’s a tough sell.” “If you spend enough money, you can just create any reality you want.” “No one knows who the hell the other guy is.” “He was just handpicked, came out of nowhere … was like, ‘we gotta get kids back into the military, we gotta get them to Iran now.’” “You would think that’s probably not a super popular idea.” “Let’s get your son out of the house and into Iran.” “You would think that as ideas go, that’s probably a relatively hard sell.” @TimJDillon

There’s something rather charming about this… The nation is about to enter to enter WWI and play a decisive and tragic role in ending it and their imperial center looks like this.
The Lincoln Memorial before the reflecting pool was constructed. 1917.

"The governments of the U.S. and Ukraine have drafted a memorandum outlining the terms of a potential new defense deal between the countries, according to three sources familiar with the matter. The draft hashed out by the U.S. State Department and Ukrainian Ambassador to the U.S. Olha Stefanishyna is a first step toward a defense agreement that would allow Ukraine to export military technology to the U.S. and to manufacture drones in joint ventures with American companies." @aidan_stretch cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-us-…
