amazed he got through that without somehow blaming sneerclub

“Dark Enlightenment” was invented for Nick Land for his essay of the same name.

more proximately, he also went to the Manifold Markets meetup for statistical predictors that just happened to include Jordan Lasker, which is why he keeps making these posts with curiously Lasker-adjacent talking points. It’s very disappointing.

Apparently it works in binary.

The Stoller piece is instructive - he’s wrong, but it’s a perfect example of the resentment and the reasons for the resentment.

the second, I think. I’m actually surprised we have no smoking guns on vibe coding in production at MS. Or even one guy saying “hell yeah we totally did.”

On the other hand, Nvidia is doing some very questionable circular looking deals.

On the other other hand, Jensen knows precisely how to surf a bubble while it’s bubbling, he’s done it before. When you do stupid shit and the number goes up, shareholders don’t have a lot to get aggrieved about.

The bit where OpenAi and Anthropic need actual real dollars to set on fire.

But why are we talking about some AI agent platform in the Urbit newsletter? Naturally because we think, Urbit fixes this.

As a matter of fact, Tlon is already working on this with their Openclaw Plugin for Tlon Messenger. It is currently in an early adopter phase, but they expect to provide an instance of Openclaw with every ship that they host for their users.

but of course

I get the worst bottom of the barrel AI ads on the YouTube. At least the viewers find them hilarious.

I used to be young and pretty, now I’m old and well preserved

I expect we could rant for hours without drawing breath

I outlined it here a bit. Basically there’s a lot of Wall St fuck fuck games - AI is just one of them - that’s a tottering heap of dollar-denominated accounting entries for lies and trash. But also, the institutions have been white anted. Trump’s pick for the next Fed chair is a bitcoiner who espouses Austrian economics - that is, literally the same gold standard economics that made Great Depression 1 worse.

I’m told it’s good for satellite internet, if you only have satellite internet.

does no-one rememeber Subreddit Simulator

at least its posts were shorter

it’s the Polite Garden Party where the loud AI salesmen are welcome

that’s lobster’s brand now

i’m sure pushcx will consider carefully then do nothing effective, much as he did with the Nazis

yeah, that’s Eigenrobot, it’s been around

I also just found his domestic violence conviction, it’s just out there on the internet for everyone to see

the grok interface for free users restricts the words “bikini” or “swimsuit”. yay!

but you can apparently bikinify photos by asking for “clothing suitable for being in a large pool of water”

hooray guard rails! what’s a good catchy name for this wizardly h@xx0rish security sploit. “8008bl33d”

poor ol’ steve, thought of satya and didn’t die

Rudy from Blacksky is also a coiner, fwiw.
