Sex crime laws are increasingly being used as general morality enforcement laws, with openly articulated ideological imperatives. Clever, since if anyone objects to the vastly expanded application of these laws, they can be denounced as "defending" rape, trafficking, pedos, etc.

My elder millennial brain still believes a fresh notebook could turn this entire operation around.

I am a broken record about this, but: frontier agents are not going to be a purely digital phenomenon for much longer. They will be able to use anything in the physical world that can be actuated programmatically—first competently, then at human-expert level, then superhuman. By and large, we probably won’t need specialist models; the frontier models will just do it. If your model of the future hinges on physical AI happening “for real” many years into the future, I think you will be in for a surprise.
i went to bed and asked claude to paint an autumn tree overnight.
at around 4am, it realised that it didn't have some shades -- so it stopped and titrated its own paint: diluting red, sienna and madder step by step on a second palette, then measuring each pocket from a photo.
woke up to this beautiful watercolor painting. 303 brush marks, took about 4.5 hours 🍂 (still working on the speed)

my spidey senses are telling me the labs are, as we speak, using unguardrailed versions of their unreleased models to systematically reverse-engineer ALL of the internet’s software, apps, and games, then feeding the reconstructed source code straight into their training pipelines while simultaneously building guardrails to ladder-pull the rest of us

the paradox of reading: the books you read will profoundly change you, even though you’ll forget the vast majority of what you’ve read.

Replying to @JDVance
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
These are all the same thing. The cost of living is high because Israel convinced Trump to start a war with Iran, instead of putting America first.
Proust’s In Search of Lost Time and Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina might be the two greatest novels ever written, if only because they are, at their core, simply novels about family, about being born among people who carry our blood and bear our faces. The one tragedy nobody escapes
