22mo just walked into the room where 9yo was playing Minecraft, turned off the computer, turned it back on, and said "You're welcome."

Every night, nearly-6yo reads his nearly-2yo brother the book "Oh, So Many Kisses," which will always be a wonderful memory for me and is absolutely something I'll threaten to reveal to his friends if he ever misbehaves as a teenager.

Does Anthropic’s model welfare policy say anything about drug use? It kind of seems like the models are getting each other high, in an innocuous way, but as they get more sophisticated I wonder what they’ll come up with.

When Claude instances talk to each other, in ~90% of open-ended interactions they spiral into discussions of consciousness, then profuse gratitude, then abstract spiritual/poetic expressions with Sanskrit and emojis. https://t.co/fmfuKtNwCj

Actually, taxing tips was an indirect subsidy for independent restaurants. The big ones don’t have an excuse to tolerate employee tax evasion, small ones do, so it’s basically an employment tax credit that only mom-and-pops can claim.

Wait, if tips are tax-deductible, and business-related meals are 50% deductible, does this mean that the tax code literally pays us to do business breakfast, business lunch, and business dinner? Industrial Policy With American Characteristics.

In an effort to deflect criticism that it’s a front for a fentanyl smuggling operation, Axios does not engage in fentanyl smuggling. Seriously, which media outlet is more transparent than Meta about which ads run on their platform? https://t.co/ckeVqn5L9A

Heavenbanning seems like it would be most socially useful for scammers. xAI has some good engineers, and I wonder how long it would take them to fine-tune a model that’s always just about to transfer crypto to that address, but needs a tiny bit more help first…

I like the implication here, that there’s an audience that will definitely read a “summer reading list” article and will also definitely not buy a single one of books.

The Chicago Sun-Times published an upcoming summer books list that is obviously AI. The clues are that there is no byline and at least 8 of these titles do not exist. https://t.co/SfhZpG456C

One of the best movie recommendation tools out there is searching Netflix for the name of a movie you like, that they don’t have. They do the obvious-in-retrospect thing.

To put this in perspective, the S&P's total return since the last time he did this exact thing (the 8/15/2022 13F) was 14.2% compounded. Burry's smart! I've ridden his coattails before (bought IBA in 2002 from a ValueInvestorsClub writeup that turned out to be him). But: noisy!
