This place is toxic. For the last seven years I warned you that LLMs and similar approaches would not lead us to AGI. Almost nobody is willing to acknowledge that, even though so many of you gave me endless grief about it at the time. I also warned you -– first –- that Sam Altman could not be trusted, that OpenAI would lose its dominance, that GPT-5 would not be all AGI, and that LLMs lacked world models. That hallucinations would not go away. That out of distribution generalization was THE key issue. And that the economics of LLMs didn't make sense. And that the LLM companies would start seeking bailouts. The receipts are all here if you care. As for me, I have had it. If you want to hear other prescient warnings in advance, subscribe to my newsletter Marcus on AI. Or you can stay here and be lied to; the choice is yours.

The older you are, the more likely you are to succeed as a startup founder. True all the way up to age 60 (!).

I wish every single person in the West would listen to Putin's speech. Obviously, that won't happen so let me summarise as a professional translator for 10+ years. He states, as he has done from the outset, what his intentions and complaints are in the plainest terms possible.🧵
