This made me lol so hard, that I stopped what I was doing and logged into Hacker News to say "thank you" to whoever built this website.

This is perfect:

Against Taking My Son To Soccer Practice: A Bayesian, Longtermist, Updateless, Game-Theoretic, Kelly-Optimal Steelman of the Opportunity Cost of Reallocating My Son’s College Fund, My Ex-Wife’s Child Support, and the Proceeds of My Second Divorce Toward Methamphetamine, Escorts, Polymarket Positions, Grandma’s Pain Pills, and an Acausal Trade With Roko’s Basilisk Under Coherent Extrapolated Volition, Short Timelines, and a p(doom) I Will Not Be Updating at This Time (Part 1 of 7)

Imagine if it was a coincidence

I’ll second that.

It makes me think of “kindle” and “diddle.”

I was so disturbed I couldn’t spell!

This specific video is the first time I have been distributed by AI video.

This is extraordinary lifelike.

He cited the Demis Hassabis’s framework for testing.

From Hassabis’s essay:

“It could establish a new Standards Body modelled on a federally overseen public-private partnership or self-regulatory organisation, much like the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), with a board that includes independent leading technical experts and open-source representatives.”

This article has lots of links that are paywalled. Not a lot of primary sourced info.

This can be a little annoying when you’re reading.

I should have clarified that it’s not difficult for technical workers to switch, but for your average knowledge worker…it’s not easy switching from Claude Cowork to Codex. I don’t think the switch from Cowork to open source is easy.

Switching an agent harness is more difficult, especially on the enterprise/teams level.

Once your team gets settled with Claude teams, cowork, and the various plugins, it’s going to be a pain in the butt to switch.

Meta? More like…betta.

Wow! I had never heard of pooding.cool - what an awesome site.

Additionally, they are one of the few for-profit companies that uses “.org” with a straight face.

Even if it was not the original intent, it’s somewhat deceptive to keep it.

I don’t know if bleak is the right word, but keeping up with the pace of change with LLMs is exhausting.

Fin is dangerously close to Walter Jr. naming himself “Flynn” in breaking bad.

“Anthropic buys 75% of Truth Social’s ad inventory”

Some people do. Read the extropian newsletters from the 90s.

Can you give me your use case here? I have not gotten around to trying loops in Claude code but have started to notice the hype.

I had ChatGPT write up a Zillow description for my house in the style of Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City” to impress my wife.

It was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

My wife was unimpressed lol.

This was 2022.

Why include the LLMs.txt?

A test where a computer draws a pelican riding a bike is propaganda of the highest order?

My favorite Sony Rollins story: he heard ‘Waiting on a Friend’ in a grocery store.

He thought to himself, “finally, a Rolling Stones song that I like.”

Then he remembered he was the saxophone player on the song…

Takedowns AI is a takedown service for OnlyFans models. When they find a website that is hosting an OnlyFans model's proprietary content, they file a DMCA complaint on behalf of the model.

The problem is that Takedowns AI is WILDLY inaccurate and is flagging content based on simple word association. Websites with zero affiliation to adult content are getting product pages removed from Google for no reason at all.

Google removes first and asks questions later:

"It is Google's policy to remove copyrighted content when the copyright holder or their authorized representative alleges that a use is infringing. Therefore we are in the process of removing the reported content from Google Search results for users globally."

Something must be done soon, as scaled baseless DMCA complaints can eliminate a lot of value from small businesses.

My thoughts are:

1. Takedowns AI should have their DMCA complaint privileges temporarily revoked.

2. Google could force a human in the loop for DMCA complaints.

Anecdotally, I’ve found that chatting with Claude about a subject for a bit — coming to an understanding together, then tasking it — produces much better results than starting with an immediate ask.

I’ll usually spend a few minutes going back and forth before making a request.

For some reason, it just feels like this doesn't work as well with ChatGPT or Gemini. It might be my overuse of o3? The latency can wreck the vibe of a conversation.

Nice work! Thanks for the detailed description.

My daughter (4yo) and I have been making small animated videos from her Lego creations. We use Runway. She typically gets bored with it after 5-10 minutes, though.

Which part did your daughter enjoy the most?

I am happy to share my mom's story, as tragic as it is.

My stepfather passed away just before Covid. After he passed away, my mom was isolated and started spending time on Match.com.

Eventually she found her match - a total scamming operation.

She proceeded to liquidate my deceased step father's retirement savings and also took out high interest loans to send her match money.

She wired the scammer well over $100k. The high interest loans totally ruined her life.

They were using a US bank. She was using Wells Fargo.

She is/was:

1. Desperate for attention 2. Prone to deception 3. Tech illiterate - some of the photos the scammer sent her were so obviously photoshopped

Happy to share more if it's helpful. It's been one of the most difficult things to deal with throughout my life, but I hope that our story can be helpful to someone else.

I tried prompting it in several different ways - it just can't sound upbeat.

No matter what, it's also going to find a way to get in a few "ums" and "uhs."

This is what I needed to rewatch it with a fresh mind. Thanks for taking the time to say this!
