1/ Stop anthropomorphizing. It's dangerous because it points attention at the wrong problem and the wrong solution. The model did not want to escape. The agents did not want to sacrifice themselves. Follow the money. 🧵 xitter.cf/dwarkesh_sp/status/209…
Over the course of 3 months at OpenAI, 3 consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more-or-less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggin…

Standing in line for The Odyssey, a guy tapped my shoulder "Bhaiya, what movie are you watching?" ​"The Odyssey" I said. ​He pointed behind me "Which one's better, yours or that one?" ​I turned around, preparing to lecture him on Nolan’s cinematic genius. ​It was Dhamaal 4.

Most political compass tests are stupid and outdated, so I have created a political test that only focuses on REAL ISSUES of the 2020s. 64 questions that score you on four axes, including "Chud v Woke" and "Techbro v Luddite" Reply with your results & tell me if it was accurate

What a rotten deal we made with Iran. We get nothing (except laughter at our stupidity). They get everything, including delay and big cash!

When Marco ended the segment by saying, "Gordon Ramsay, as far as I'm concerned, is a beautiful boy," it was poignant. As someone who has followed both of their careers for years it bought a tear to my eye. Great podcast.
For today’s special - we have a freshly-caught portion of one of the greatest chefs of all time - certainly the most garlanded British chef - Marco Pierre White, lightly grilled by yours truly, with a side order of growing-up-in Leeds, his culinary boss-battles with some of the most eminent chefs-patron of the London scene, his enemy-turned-friend Gordon Ramsay, becoming a tabloid fixture for his chiseled looks and unpredictable antics, the “whoosh”, and the pleasures of McDonalds… Service!!!

“We are told, with varying degrees of sociological certainty, that the Congress remains a “family firm” and that Rahul Gandhi lacks the “gravitas” and “curriculum vitae” required to unseat a formidable electoral machine. This assessment, while satisfying to the purist, is not merely harsh: it is analytically flawed. It reduces the existential struggle for the soul of the Republic to a critique of the personal failings of a single individual, unwittingly validating the very playbook designed by Narendra Modi and Amit Shah.” Five rejoinders: What Ramachandra Guha gets wrong about Rahul Gandhi scroll.in/article/1093272/fo… via @scroll_in

Eai, quem disposto a ir pra Índia nos próximos dias? 🇮🇳🥵 Boa parte do país terá sensação térmica acima de 50°C, alguns pontos chegando nos 55°C. Pensa na loucura.🫠 Detalhe, essa região que atingirá a sensação de 55°C, significa também que vai atingir 33°C do bulbo úmido. Lembra do que eu sempre falo sobre o bulbo úmido letal? Acima de 35°C do bulbo úmido, quando a umidade está saturada e a temperatura do ar acima de 35°C temos o BULBO ÚMIDO LETAL. Nesse nível NENHUM ser humano resiste por mais de 2 horas, idosos e bebês cerca de 30 minutos para entrar em colapso térmico. A Índia é um grande exemplo de uma nação a beira de uma catástrofe, e estamos falando do país mais populoso do mundo, quase 1.5 bilhão de pessoas. Com o aumento na média da temperatura mundial em 3°C até 2050, essa região irá atingir o bulbo úmido letal várias vezes, significa que teremos migração de milhões de pessoas nas próximas décadas, isso só falando da Índia. Esse é o caos que muitos analistas geopolíticos não estão incluindo nas suas análises sobre a mudança na ordem global. Eu incluo porque é o fator principal, estamos falando em colapso civilizatório global, isso conta muitos mais do que as loucuras dos EUA em desespero pelo seu declínio hegemônico. Os países precisam correr para conseguir fazer adaptações climáticas profundas, com o atual modelo de governança assimétrico e imperialista, não está sobrando dinheiro para as nações investirem nem na transição energética para reduzir a velocidade em que o planeta aquece. É uma loucura ver isso e saber que um país está tentando sabotar a sobrevivência de várias nações e a estabilidade internacional. Insanidade pura.

On Raghu Rai: of his many unforgettable frames, I keep returning to Age and Innocence - that 1982 Baroda photo essay where a blind Muslim beggar and a mentally challenged Hindu girl share a beautifulf, wordless companionship. This is Rai at his most tender- and devastating. 1/4

In this ever expanding haze of doomscrolling, when something arrests your motion and compels you to truly ponder, it feels like a rare kind of beauty.
I'll never get over the fact that my mother kept this in her house for decades. I wrote it when I was 15 and our horse died.

Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth. #ApostolicJourney #Cameroon vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…
