They extract all of the person’s wealth until they qualify for medicaid, at which point the state pays for whatever time they have left. This is explicitly the business model. This will become extremely politically salient in the coming years.

Anthropic listed OpenAI and Google as the primary competitors in their field which is correct but they also should have listed Meituan because it both would have been really funny to pick a random smaller lab and it would have been incredible to watch people learn Chinese DoorDash has an ai lab

As a U.S. immigration attorney, I occasionally get (and have to refer out) outbound immigration requests from U.S. citizens. The amount of shocked faces I get when I explain “Yeah, so every country has their own immigration laws,” is honestly so funny, lol

They'd rather sit back in the cuck chair and let LLMs live their lives for them than admit that maybe our chosen struggles have importance beyond the "intellectual contributions" made in the service of a broken, antihuman economy that would see us all living in absolute squalor

I think the scariest prospect about aging for me is how 75% of people seem to become mentally handicapped after the age of 30. Like how do you avoid that? Is it not having kids? Having kids seems like it might be a big factor to me honestly

The gradual decline in accent is simply remarkable. Starts out rolling his r’s, starts to lose it by the middle of the clip, landing firmly on Mallu English accent at the end.

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but wearing a brand new pair of the worst style of louboutins to film this is so San Francisco. I could save that city if they let me help
One month into dating, her boyfriend’s startup was acquired by NVIDIA.

“I do feel a bit like my brain is leaking out of my skull when I spend a whole day using it.”
We obviously haven’t had the major jobs wipeout yet. But you read stuff like this. And you read what economics students themselves are saying about working with AI (ht @odavis_h) and it’s hard not to feel like the seismic shift is on its way.

reactionaries hollowed out the American soft power apparatus that was used to flip past Brazilian elections specifically bc they’re too stupid to understand that the woke USAID facade was the velvet glove concealing the iron fist of American hegemony. you need both to do this
