GenAI poses a much deeper pickle for Google than I initially assumed... The last few weeks completely echo the time I was at Google in the early 2000's when we were up against Microsoft - except this time Google is on the receiving end. Looking back, we beat Microsoft not

Aside from everything else, Gemini is useless.

It just hit me – we have fonts for voices, too!
this woman is very talented but this was an extremely uncanny watch; every kind of advertising voiceover I hear IRL makes me feel like I’m in a Verhoeven movie and I can’t believe we’ve let ourselves make it such an ambient part of our experience

AI risk deniers said “AIs can’t plan a take over because they don’t have memory.” Suddenly, they do. And they have superhuman memory. They blew right past us. Again. Just like they do in skill after skill. How big a deal is this? Intuition pump: imagine a human who could
This is the kind of stuff that makes me think that there will be no period of sorta stupid, human-level AGI. Humans can't perceive 3 hours of video at the same time. The first AGI will instantly be vastly superhuman at many, many relevant things.

There’s a striking similarity between physicists hearing about nuclear chain reactions and AI researchers hearing about recursive self-improvement. Key bottlenecks in both cases include willingness to take high-level arguments seriously, act under uncertainty, or sound foolish.

P(doom) roundup: what probability do people put on AI killing everyone? - Vitalik Buterin (Ethereum): 10% - Zvi Mowshowitz: 60% - Elon Musk: 20-30% - Scott Alexander: 20-25% - Dario Amodei (CEO, Anthropic): 10-25% - Jan Leike (Head of Alignment, OpenAI): 10-90% - Geoffrey Hinton
Vitalik's P(doom) is ~10%. We're now beyond the point where you can character-assassinate someone for recognizing that our species is facing a serious possibility of imminent doom. It's a widespread view among intellectuals, and the majority view among the general population.

Fact of the Day: Spitfires need to consume 800.85ltrs of water per day to power their 1.6ltr Hydro-electric motor, it is quite common for Spitfires to stop mid dogfight to drink from rivers to refuel, this is where the phrase "Bottoms Up" comes from Photographed from a Canberra

The horizontal velocity will be different for an arc of a circle, catenary, or the dreaded Brachistochrone. I'd guess a flexible curtain rail might form a catenary. https://t.co/HUcnpeIa5T

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

#Asteroid 2024 BX1 was first discovered by @sarneczky at Piszkéstető Station in Hungary about 3 hours before it burned up over Germany. Shortly after, multiple observatories in Europe contributed over 180 observations of this asteroid.

@CptMutant You know what else is remarkable about the comments on the original post? Exactly ZERO flattys are admonishing this lying flerf for making them all look like immoral liars. None. This video is intentionally manipulated to deceive people and no flatty calls out this scum.

@shauntheboer Signs that someone is a flat earth grifter: 1. They're blue-ticked, so their account can earn ad revenue. 2. They mostly post images/memes and very short comments. 3. These comments are generally triggering - "what fool believes this? 🤡😂" 4. The scenario in the meme will
