Devin (named “the world’s first AI engineer” from the start) and looked to me it’s far more marketing and hype than reality.

But even I didn’t assume how their own staged video would blatantly lie. It does. A software engineer looked closer. Damning:

This is a good and damning video about Cognition Labs ($2bn valuation) and their 'AI software engineer' demo that actually did a pretty bad job at an Upwork software engineering project, including referencing non existent packets and making up its own errors then fixing them

To most interns he said things like 'Good luck' and 'Thank you so much.' Now it's my turn to shake his hand. He grabs my hand and bends down low, eye to eye to me (he's very tall) and he doesn't thank me, instead he just menacingly whispers 'I KNOW YOU STOLE FROM ME!!!' [5/6]

Starting the new Fallout show . . . I'm instinctively skeptical of the entire franchise at this point, but it's off to a very promising start

Spending today learning Scrivener - a piece of research and writing software tailored for organizing long, complex works.

So far my SBF book has been a series of discrete essays. Now we start weaving all those threads together.

Gambling on crypto meme coins like $PEPE with leverage is a great way to lose your entire life savings.

Imagine thinking something so volatile needed leverage in the first place.

A cautionary tale. 👇

The next defendants are Steven Crowder and Louder with Crowder, LLC. If you’re unfamiliar with Crowder, an obnoxious extremist provocateur masquerading as a journalist, a quick Google News search will produce a glut of cringeworthy results.

During his show, Greg Kelly also claimed that our client was a member of the “Puro Tango Blast” prison gang, based entirely on a ridiculous and false right-wing social media rumor about the shooter’s hand tattoo.

The first defendant is Fox News. The suit alleges that an article on the Fox News website recklessly featured an image of my client, innocent 36-year-old Mauricio Garcia, identifying him as the shooter.

Today, my co-counsel Greg Adler and I filed suit against Fox, Newsmax, Univision, Timcast, Steven Crowder, Owen Shroyer, Simon Ateba, and Hollywood Unlocked for falsely portraying our innocent client as a neo-Nazi mass shooter.

Crypto people learning about induced demand is incredibly fun to watch.

I focused on infra and transportation for a year or two at Fortune because problems like this are so interesting and difficult.

If your system actually works, cheap fees will *always* lead to spam.

is XEN unique?

XEN is just one example of a broader pattern

when cheap computational resources are combined with speculation, those resources will be used in unintended ways

blobscriptions, gas tokens, and Solana’s ORE can all be lumped in this category

'Americans need to get religion on crypto being allowed. You don't have to like it, you don't have to think it's great. But the idea that just banning it will work, will only cause us to play from behind, and that's a huge mistake.'

If Hinton says compression at scale is the source of creativity then where the hell did the human mind - which is creative - get its large scale training data from?

There was no 'internet' to scrape from for the brain yet it developed creativity from extremely sparse experiences
