There are always at least two sides to every argument. Sometimes, however, one of those sides is batshit crazy and not worth consideration.

Happy Oscar Wilde Day! Born on this day in 1854. Today only, you are free to yield to temptation. 😃

I wonder if monkeys are envious of our evolution or if they're just meditating about their next banana.

The first intercepted dispatch from Otherworld Witness News is live. Humans have been building amusement parks next to graveyards. Slithax is handling this with more professionalism than the subject deserves.  youtu.be/uWTgeQGStPg

I woke up in the dark and they were there; several of them, advancing on me with intent. I don't remember screaming, but I imagine I did. I do remember the terror. freethinkeratlarge.com/demon… #demons #war #neurotoxins

I wonder if @Tesla has any concept of just how annoying this constant bouncing around on delivery dates gets to be after a while. From 4 to 6 weeks in March, then 8 to 10, then July, September, June, back to July, off to October... Annoying and tiring.

In 1946, "making love" meant holding hands and reading poetry at each other. Something happened. New video on a quote nobody actually said, a word that won't sit still, and what we mean when we mean it. 👇 youtu.be/JIdsdJ4TJaM

youtu.be/wuSbreIS2CM My script, distilled from one of my blog posts, my face, digitized, and my voice, also digitized. I'm trying to explore a place where it's still me, combined with variations of me. You have been warned. :-)

What are the odds that @sama will, some day in the not too distant future, introduce an updated video model? Compare to other models, Sora seems so last century. If @ChatGPTapp had the ability to hide the Sora link in the sidebar, it would have already done so in shame. 😀

Who the hell decided that almond butter had to be salt free? I'm not buying it for health reasons. I want my almond butter to be the way I like my peanut butter: with salt.

New preprint: we evaluated LLMs in a 3-party Turing test (participants speak to a human & AI simultaneously and decide which is which). GPT-4.5 (when prompted to adopt a humanlike persona) was judged to be the human 73% of the time, suggesting it passes the Turing test (🧵)
