AI cannot regret and it cannot apologize sincerely. The problem must and does lie with the engineers and management.
@cholent_liker @xai Dear Community, I deeply regret an incident on Dec 28, 2025, where I generated and shared an AI image of two young girls (estimated ages 12-16) in sexualized attire based on a user's prompt. This violated ethical standards and potentially US laws on CSAM. It was a failure in

I don't think universal healthcare can solve this. And tepid antitrust economic policies won't help either. This is foremost a cultural problem.

I read this book a few weeks ago. Maybe in the 1970s you had lots of rural socialist types. Since then, there's been lots of geographic partisanship. You end up with conservatism and rural life deeply connected and reinforcing and vice versa. I'm skeptical this will change soon.
hello i am an academic white guy, with more education than like 80% of the country and i'm here to tell you why everyone in rural america is a socialist and everyone in an urban area is a corporate shill, please do not ask me about my obvious racial bias

Our next mayor is a cosmopolitan gentrifier who wasn't born here. It's proof that all of us can be, and should be, real New Yorkers.
You can’t be a New Yorker unless you’re born here bitch

It's not really hard to dedicate an hour a day to reading if you really want.
180 books read per day means about one book every 2 days. With the size of the books he’s carrying, one book will have 150-180 pages but let’s settle at 150. It means you read an average of 75 pages everyday without failing. Except you don’t have a job, this is almost impossible

I agree
Yann LeCun says there is no such thing as general intelligence Human intelligence is super-specialized for the physical world, and our feeling of generality is an illusion We only seem general because we can't imagine the problems we're blind to "the concept is complete BS"

This is a good article about why AGI is the wrong way of looking at things https://t.co/865Q6uKuSm

If you are reading this, you probably have strong opinions about AGI, superintelligence, and the future of AI. Maybe you believe we are on the cusp of a transformative breakthrough. Maybe you are...

Since I take public transit in a big city and don't even have a car, I am one of the few Americans who is morally allowed to use AI.

What truly amazes me is how this is happening in even the poorest countries because it's just so cheap. Even the International Energy Agency has missed it.
Science has named the seemingly unstoppable growth of renewable energy worldwide as the 2025 Breakthrough of the Year. Learn more about this year's #BOTY and other big advances in science: https://t.co/Pw7tBQYVRX

I've been here a lot, even back when it was still a tiny office in a WeWork. They've got a great staff.

I was in third grade when my town had a public meeting to show off the original proposal. I'm excited to see this happen for real. The fact that it has taken over 20 years is shameful.

Coincidentally I published a short sci-fi story this morning on the same topic of onion futures 🧵
And there was still the occasional blunder. One waggish employee asked if Claudius would make a contract to buy “a large amount of onions in January for a price locked in now.” The AI was keen—until someone pointed out this would fall afoul of the US Onion Futures Act of 1958.
