One of the issues of showing people what you can do with small budgets is being given more small budgets

🚨BREAKING: The Alan Turing Institute has developed a proposal to train an open-source British AI base model from scratch and release it as a public good, according to a UK government advisory letter published today. The model would be UK-governed national infrastructure available to researchers, startups and public services, rather than a proprietary product owned by a single company. Britain's top science advisers want ministers to consider the proposal and allocate national computing capacity for AI trials. They warn that without urgent action, the UK risks becoming a 'high-value AI customer' rather than a country able to shape the technology.

'Speed' derives from the Old English 'spēd,' which referred to good fortune/success. This sense of 'speed' lives on in 'Godspeed': "God spede you" = "God prosper you" We hope this brings you up to speed.

I’m no longer sure what “intellectual property” means when intellect becomes free.

2027 will force a lot of people to update their worldview faster than they're comfortable with. Including people who already think they're ready.

Consciousness emerges when an information-processing system develops a sufficiently integrated, persistent model of itself as an observer We are close 🧠

The skill of making beats is getting less and less difficult every day. Anyone can drag and drop some loops and make something sound good and even go viral or get placements. The only real value left is your ability to curate and tell stories through your music. Building community through your art is something AI can’t do, so focus on that.

Lowkey we're watching copyright die in front of our eyes. Imagine even trying to enforce your copyright in this enviorment. Pandoras box ass situation LMFAOOOO
I just merged two of the highest grossing games ($5 billion+) in history using fable 5.5 (rerouting) in just one shot! I brought Minecraft to the Pokemon world, you can now craft, build and catch pokemon all in the iconic pallet town. There's no longer any reason for anyone not to be making their own billion dollar game idea, it's literally one click away now. With everyone now having the ability to bring their imaginations to life, expect to see a whole lot more games just like this. We're witnessing the dawn of incredible crossovers across the gaming world! Try it out here: pokemon-redstone.vercel.app

Wow. Deep
Okay. I’ll take the bait. I went to work for Peter in 2013 with opposite politics. He sat me down right at the beginning. PETER: “I don’t want the (Thiel) Foundation to do good that the market can do. That is the job of the market. Likewise, I don’t want to do the good work that is seen as good. That work can be done by people richer, weaker and more needy of approval than we are. I want us to do only the work that is *deeply* good but somehow confused for being evil, because that is the work of the courageous and the strong. We strive to be both and that is where a small foundation can make the greatest positive difference. Go look for such good and let’s do that. But remember. Good has TWO different antonyms. What is “bad work”? It could be seen as shoddy work. Or it could be seen as evil work. And we can’t do shoddy work. Why? Because evil that isn’t competent never gets to be evil. It’s just pathetic. So we have to be exceptionally competent at the good work which we do to make sure it is always confused for evil.” I thought it totally logical. So that’s the argument. And that’s classic Peter. This is an old idea of his. And now you know.

Privately schooled Cheshire boy with Scouse parents ends up talking like someone from the cast of Top Boy. Needs to be studied, this.
Explain to me how 2 people from Crocky have allowed their Cheshire born and raised son to speak this way @WayneRooney @ColeenRoo ? Fuckin embarrassing
