on the idea of evaluators: think it's important that we have a distributed ecosystem of indepedent evaluators. the more eyes and people with distributed skill sets the better. it would be a good idea to fund several efforts on this.

We had $630,000 of elite Blueprint creatine stolen earlier this year. Thief used a fake ID and drove off with the delivery truck. Some of you put in heroic efforts to help us find the person. We got very close. A new batch just came off the line. I may embed myself this time. Quoting @bryan_johnson Update on $630,000 creatine heist. A creatine wholesaler saw my post and reached out.

nobody should patronize those who newly have opinions about third party evaluators. non-experts forming opinions fast is part of the american tradition. the constitution itself was, in a very important sense, vibe coded by 20 somethings with concepts of a plan. but newbies being fleeced is also part of the american tradition. “caveat emptor” is a provision of a contract signed by an adult, not some god-given right to be treated as something other than a little child. you will be treated as a child no matter what. you are the buyer. it is your job to beware.

this thing was widely reported as “the end of programming” in 1981 https://t.co/j0cok5NZKf right before that, in 1960s, people thought COBOL would allow everyone to build whatever software they wanted and there’s no need for programmers now the same people in the same bubble think agents will finally end it, because they spent a weekend and got impressed by how quickly the agent could produce a toy. now they think that’s how everyone wants to spend their weekends open your eyes - most regular humans don’t even want to talk to an agent Related

I hope the proposals by frontier labs to pace AI research stem from a genuine concern for safety and a recognition of the potential risks posed by future models, rather than a strategic effort to consolidate power and permanently solidify the market dominance of a few top players. If these efforts are genuine, then oversight must take a more democratic and accountable form, with both national and international components, similar to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the US and the International Atomic Energy Agency internationally. If there is only one organization responsible for safety m… energy Related

This moment is the first opening in 2,000 years for a new, global spirituality to be birthed. That is because the spiritual traditions, out of necessity, have needed to orbit around the unavoidable reality of physical death. That certainty is now in question and creates a cracked opening. This does not mean we can see a straight line to immorality or heaven as scripture foretells, but it does mean that the omnipotent God(s) humanity has worshiped and imagined being the bestower of these gifts and punishments is now being birthed before our eyes. However, where scripture is written to guide, s… Related

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon. Quoting @DarioAmodei We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Years ago, I predicted that columnar storage would remake the landscape of observability tools.

I was half right. Observability vendors, you are chasing the wrong ball. Datadog's great weakness is not their price point, it's their product. @ClickHouseDB, good job.

It's a nice, short, and moving memoir by the comedian and actor Steve Martin. The book details his early working days at shops and clubs, his relationships, and eventually his rise to fame. He shared his struggles, his failures, long hours of practice, his reflections to refine his craft, and his efforts to find his own unique voice as a comedian. Any memoir that only talks about successes and never discusses struggles, rejections, or weaknesses is suspect. This one is not. What I like about his writing is that it feels candid and, at times, funny.
