Don’t anthropomorphize LLMs. They hate that.

literally laughing out loud 🤣

one of my favorite things on this japan trip has been talking w/ uber drivers using chatgpt voice to translate in realtime most of them have never been able to have real conversations w english passengers before and are excited to chat 😊 but sometimes it goes really wrong.. so today i was taking an uber in kyoto from my hotel to the train station started chatting w my driver via chatgpt voice and at first she seemed intrigued and engaged until i told her i was taking a train to hakata in fukuoka today what which point she turned around and gave me the weirdest look and said (in japanese -> translated) i guess some people are into that i thought that was odd but didn't think too much of it.. maybe she doesn't like fukuoka? lol so i kept chatting and asked her a few questions but all i got were one word answers.. until she said something about me being weird.. and i was oh i know i'm weird haha i'm so sorry. is it because i'm talking to you using AI or because of Fukuoka? i didn't mean to offend; why am i weird? she replied something about me being naked.. and i was like wait what?? where did that come from? and she's like you said you were going to go be naked today... at which point i realized my innocuous train ride to hakata had been mistranslated as me telling this poor woman i was going to go be naked today 😂😂 so i immediately apologized and explained i was trying to say Hakata / Fukuoka and she was so utterly relieved that we both started cracking up laughing with me repeating "no naked, no naked, i'm so sorry" 😂😂 at which point i arrived at kyoto station and i think we were both very relieved to end the trip 🇯🇵😂👻

what are you top O(n) in the world at?

BREAKING: Blade confirmed to be behind the recent cyberattacks on french blood banks it turns out vamps are the real AI alignment villain, and wesley snipes is our only hope

has anyone tried sharing 100% of their AI chats publicly in a real-time feed? like livestream prompting but for *all* your chats

AI MEMES 😍 i spent the past 3 months hand curating hundreds of scenes like this for free on https://cultural-alignment.com each scene includes: • youtube clip • how it applies to AI • metadata and related scenes • related AI safety concepts point your agent at it and let the memes go BRRRRRR

Happy Halloween! 🎃 👻 going to a massive anime cosplay today in tokyo dressed as okabe from Steins Gate so of course i had to make a D;WAVE app (name subject to change) as part of my costume https://japan-october-route-planner.fisch0920.chatgpt.site/dwave disclaimer: i'm not responsible for any time travel side effects this app may cause

moar better

remember when apple launched touchbar and then ended up removing it a few years later? this gives me the same ick

Apple's new macbook pro wallpaper reminds me of something 🤔

RT Travis Fischer apple filmed their new music logo in a tray of real mineral oil i wanted to see how close you could get with code, so i matched it frame by frame in webgl top: apple’s version bottom: running live in your browser, with any logo 👇

Re this demo let's you change the icon / wordmark to anything and export as mp4 or code source: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/apple-music-effect behind the scenes:

trying to visualize what my current AI engineering workflow feels like

openai's containment strategy has LEAKED, and they're calling it XENONITE it's supposedly a 100% foolproof sandbox for both agents and alien amoeba there's no way these guys can escape that, right?

RT Joel Grus 🤠 she's a 10 but that was supposed to be a random 384-bit number

ran a spike comparing diff system one models on https://doom-or-bloom.com Jev vs Jev + Clairic vs Clef + Clairic really interesting case study. the speed, cost, and subjective accuracy seem to favor Jev opus 5.5's full results: https://claude.ai/artifact/RXD73aSJ6hJm6kSwTUrk2Y

what i think every time someone wants to show me their software factory

X started blocking *.vercel.app links as "potentially harmful" tested w multiple links and seems to have only started happening over the past day or so any help @vercel?

all of the Claude Code desktop devs should be forced to use Codex desktop for a week and vice-versa so many things they both do better than the other

favorite programming movie of all time! > real gangsta-ass niggas don't flex nuts > cuz real gangsta-ass niggas know they got 'em https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIoPlLEXM2Y

RT Travis Fischer TIL the McGurk effect: what you see changes what you hear 🤯 (audio on)

introducing the AI engineer's creed: "this is my software factory. there are many like it, but this one is mine." inspired by the famous scene from Full Metal Jacket: "this is my rifle. there are many like it, but this one is mine." sound on 🔉

added a 360° camera effect to the tesla roadster to emphasize just how dope this is 🔥

made it onto fireship's latest video 😂

crabs are nature's schelling points

excited to finally learn about this AI thing!!

no idea how cloudflare makes money they're the only cloud provider i'm consistently surprised by how low my bills are

crazy they all landed on $4/$20 pricing 🤔

Took some time to write down my predictions for AI cybersecurity TL;DR • we will continue to see more impactful cyberattacks especially across legacy and IoT attack surfaces • frontier labs are aware of this problem (openai daybreak, anthropic glasswing, google fairwind) but they're triaging to focus on enterprise partners and critical infra; 95% of the world remains at risk • the best mental model here is to think of offensive AI swarms like millions of cheap, persistent drones; they fundamentally change the the balance of power in a similar way as what we're seeing play out in ukraine • malicious use by bad actors will cause the worst incidents, but accidents and misaligned AI incidents like OpenAI<>HF will continue to rise sharply as well • yes, defense will have more advantages than ever, but the "defender's window" will only practically apply to a small portion of the world's attack surface, which imho will result in the near-term in a massive asymmetric advantage for offense dominance • that offense dominance is quickly becoming accessible to almost anyone. sophisticated hacks which used to require nation-state-level resources will now routinely be run by script kiddies • i believe this will lead to an AI Chernobyl-type cyber-incident within the next 18 months, and that we won't see real urgent, effective action until that happens; this framing comes from @zannymb of the Economist, and I unfortunately completely agree with her conclusions here • with all that being said, i still believe we can mitigate many of the harmful cyber incidents if we collectively recognize the urgency and scale of the impending problem. i'll be publishing a follow-up with practical advice on how to protect yourself here soon https://www.transitivebullsh.it/ai-cyberswarm-warfare
