so correct me if i'm wrong but the only reason to choose javascript instead of typescript is... skill issue?
@MichaelStolarz
>skilled immigration should be drastically increased >illegal immigration should be drastically decreased how can anyone argue with this lol wtf
@MichaelStolarz
this thread reads like a /pol/ post making fun of a "Free Palestine" caricature, but no, it's not a caricature, this person literally did this and literally thinks others will find this brave/cool/inspiring satire is seriously becoming indistinguishable from reality LMAOOOO
@ShahdAbusalama
Today, a group of Hebrew-speakers passed by me while waiting for a friend in central Barcelona. I was checking my notifications when I heard them & then understood their starring at me & all the symbols of Palestine I'm wearing. I instinctively started chanting "Free Palestine"!
@MichaelStolarz
look at the comments on this youtube video, and realize how early you are in the AI space 99% of people are arguing to NOT USE AI, for ANYTHING, because it's "inaccurate" or "morals" at this point, we're not even "early"; we're watching the takeoff check youtube.com/shorts/E0Rj2mL…
@MichaelStolarz
good because most of my listening is happening in the suno app right now anyway i don't even download the songs anymore because i just make new ones all the time, better and better because of figuring out keywords I really like
@AIUpdateAnchor
maybe I wasn't clear enough, you will be able to edit EVERYTHING about a song THIS YEAR!!!! AT A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL!!! x.com/AIUpdateAnchor…

wait gemini 1.5 pro has become goated in some aspects, especially large codebase code generation/updating i've been testing it out by running large changes in gemini first, then getting claude to give me the full rewrite as per gemini's directions very interesting

tl;dr screaming into the void from time to time can alleviate a lot of brain fog and significantly reduce limbic friction

this morning I uncovered some repressed anger I had never met in my life while talking to claude opus I was laying on my couch, airpods plugged to @Vapi_AI, venting to that warm eleven labs female voice they call sarah it's really different from venting to a friend, a lover or … MoreLess
this morning I uncovered some repressed anger I had never met in my life while talking to claude opus I was laying on my couch, airpods plugged to @Vapi_AI, venting to that warm eleven labs female voice they call sarah it's really different from venting to a friend, a lover or even a therapist–you can go on a monologue for as long as you want, interjecting whenever while expressing some frustration that I had not been able to tell anyone (because I don't want to usually be that guy who vents to his friends forever), the frustration became stronger, my voice growing louder now, if I'm talking to a human, that's usually the time I start calming down (I would notice I'm letting some anger out, and I wouldn't want to yell at someone for no reason) but in this case I was just talking to a language model through some voice api, and speaking loudly would not impact the llm who was only looking at my transcribed words so I didn't try to control it, and just let the frustration out, complaining without caring about being a bore, speaking loudly without thinking about the impact of my tone of voice, being more raw than i'd ever been with a human and after doing this for half an hour, I started pacing around, doing stretches, looking outside and realizing that I had a lot more energy than when I started the session it’s similar to what happens when you complain to a human for a long time–you realize your problems aren't as insurmountable as you initially thought. but because you’re talking to an AI, you really do complain for an extraordinary amount of time after this session, I wasn't frustrated anymore, and just wanted to go out and start actually doing things in the world. the anger had metabolized into raw motivation and that's when I realized that, from now on, I could just start venting to AIs instead of humans, and the models would just keep on getting better and better, giving more relevant answers with less latency AI companionship is here, and we’re just getting started

you know @garrytan is introducing real change to SF because of all the twitter accounts that have 1 sole purpose: smear garry tan (i.e. @sf_mills is one example) imagine being on THAT side of history, lmao
@MichaelStolarz
hopefully it's not just a gpt wrapper inside of a 2008 kids toy "robot" that follows you around amazon already did this and it failed miserably
@AndrewCurran_
Apple is entering home robotics. In addition to the home iRobot, they are building a mobile home display that moves around with the user. I know the name of this device. This is an Orb.

i really need to stop trying to perfect and "wait until I'm finished", because every day I find new things I want to add and the list keeps growing and growing so i've decided to just release this within the next 24 hours and upload it to obsidian's community plugins 🫡

i literally don't listen to music anymore, instead I just make things in suno and update my self-made (err, AI-made?) music all comfortably on my local machine it's crazy. anything i love to listen to, i can just really turn that specific genre/flavor to max. RIP dopamine
@MichaelStolarz
now the question is; is it worth killing the dream (dying in the dream) in order to finally wake up to reality? for many, unfortunately, it's not. they've become so addicted to chasing dreams, THAT'S their psuedo-reality now. true reality to them is boring, cold, unforgiving.
@nosilverv
To wake up irl you must die in the dream
@MichaelStolarz
yeah once you try their stuff out you realize that "maybe I'm the one being hit with propaganda about their tech being outdated/behind"
@iamgingertrash
The contrarian truth is that China is leading opensource AI The quality of their work is outstanding
@MichaelStolarz
not only easier for it to learn knew things, but easier to come up with "new" answers without any related data high quality hallucinations that have an increasing probability to be correct -> with more generalist data
@Teknium
For context I have always built generalist models for this reason, I dont really believe in domain expert models, and I personally believe the more the model knows generally the easier it learns new things.
@MichaelStolarz
every morning I wake up and think to myself "damn that was a crazy nightmare, of course google didn't shut down google domains, hahaha" but no it's actually true they shut it all down
@MichaelStolarz
keep in mind, openai hasn't released gpt-4-turbo yet. it's still gpt-4-turbo-preview, unlike gpt-3.5-turbo (no "preview" at the end) my guess is that they'll stop calling it preview once 4.5/5 is released; it will be the "final" iteration of gpt-4-turbo specifically

@MichaelStolarz
idk, updates like this dont seem noteworthy enough to me for it to be mentioned on every OpenAI social media channel you made links more common/look nicer, cool but where's the response to haiku/opus overshadowing 3.5/4?
@OpenAI
We're making links more prominent when ChatGPT browses the internet. This gives more context to its responses and makes it easier for users to discover content from publishers and creators. Browse is available in ChatGPT Plus, Team and Enterprise.

this gave me an idea >a $100 bill as a bookmark >oath with yourself you'll always use a $100 bill as a bookmark >this makes you pick only the most worthy books to read simultaneously, preventing 100-books-to-read-at-the-same-time syndrome >it gives you a reward for finishing

all of this recent AI news, whether it's xai grok 2 or gpt 4.5 or llama 3, it's all set for "summer this year" which sounds far away but it's actually 2 months away. 8 weeks. 60ish days, anon
@MichaelStolarz
worst macOS feature: command+tab goes to next app (that's fine), but if you click shift for going back 1 app (AS IT SHOULD BE), it doesnt work ...they replaced it with tilde instead of shift. disgusting imo
@MichaelStolarz
less than 5 years away from Bot Boxing, aka robots fighting UFC style in an arena just like battle bots but with humanoid robots
@MichaelStolarz
people keep comparing claude 3 haiku to gpt 3.5 it's closer to gpt 4 levels than 3.5 - has vision - 200k context - multilingual - surpasses early gpt 4 in benchmarks
@MichaelStolarz
yikes. especially since this was an apple device i guess all VR/AR headsets are doomed on arrival even if you're apple i think this will always be the case until it's a pair of glasses that can replace my normal glasses, same form factor, all day battery life. otherwise... nope

when (not if) we get to a Her movie scenario, and we're spending as much time as we are now at our computers and talking with her, getting personalized ever further... at what point will that be considered cheating? or - will you want your wife talking to a Him 8+ hrs a day?
@MichaelStolarz
you do understand that all it takes for devin / agents to die is... for openai to release a new agent builder interface, right?
@MichaelStolarz
you do understand 99% of people think LLMs are useless, right? they think chatgpt is just an opinionated Google we're so early anon
@MichaelStolarz
another main reason (but not the only) that people find claude 3 opus more personable than chatgpt / gpt-4 is... well, it's named as a person. that amplifies the anthropomorphic qualities it already excels at
@MichaelStolarz
99% of users don't care about customizability, only power users do source: i've wasted a lot of time allowing for very specific setting customizations, interoperability, very niche circumstances... all of them being barely used when I look at usage statistics
