David Shapiro ⏩ on X: "One of the best points that someone made to me once was this: "Humans generalize on far less data than AI currently does. That means there's something our brains are doing algorithmically to do far more with far less data. Until we figure out that paradigm, we are no where near" / X

Divya Venn on X: "the rules around using your sex appeal (as a girl) to get ahead are obvious intuitively but are very hard to codify. sometimes sex appeal raises your social status and sometimes it lowers it it's an interesting problem and i would like your thoughts 🧵" / X

Everything you love about generative models — now powered by real physics!

re: Anora, i feel like some films are more akin to novels, while others to short stories. Often short stories craft a glimpse or vignette of someone where the reader is expected to work to pull the “interiority” from the character from the intentional but limited context

Criticizing a film about lower class characters because it defines them by circumstances and/or plot mechanics instead of giving them any sense of interiority is a bit tricky. There should be a question of what the film is exactly doing with that choice rather than dismissing it.

Oh, the 2010s had an aesthetic alright.

honestly any real attempt to one to one TLOUII and Israel / Palestine breaks down very quickly and if we didn’t know Druckmann’s background it wouldn’t even occur to most people as a specific point of comparison

Besides Donald Trump, Elon Musk and his fellow DOGE head Vivek Ramaswamy, at least 11 billionaires will be serving key roles in the administration.

Added a little version bump animation to the what’s new screen
