I like this a lot. I will need to read more into the Montana and Ohio policy that they are addressing, but this is the first time I have seen right to compute be talked about. The right to compute must be treated as a 1st amendment issue.
“Right to compute” laws protect the ability of researchers, entrepreneurs, and innovators to develop and use AI tools without government requiring a permission slip. Here's how they work. @taylordbarkley @BryceTheNoble in @StatePolicy

REA (reverse engineer anything) - F*CKED by chinese student...
solo dev just dropped protection for your app & site & game from reverse-engineering and AI hackers, for free
REA not dangerous anymore.
here's how to use and setup BLA (Blind LLM Agents):
first understand how it works:
• REA opens your app in 1 command, BLA hides traps inside it before you ship
• fake keys and decoy code for AI to chase, plus files built to blow past REA's own limits
• AI burns tokens on dead ends, your users get the exact same app
here's how to set it up for FREE:
1 → open Claude Code in the folder of your app, site or game
2 → say: " install Node.js 24 if I don't have it, build my project, then run npx bla-agents setup and npx bla-agents harden"
3 → it finds your build itself: dist, build, Electron .asar, .wasm, Python, native binaries
4 → it plants fake keys and decoy code, then checks every protected file still runs the same
5 → the step everyone skips: ship the files from the new .bla-hardened folder, not your old build
6 → for sites it protects the JS your site sends to browsers, your server code never leaves your server anyway
7 → want proof? run: npx bla-agents benchmark - before vs after on 14 test apps
paste link on repo below as soon as possible:

This guy’s family history happens to present a strong argument for halting legal immigration on the grounds that America has completely stopped assimilating immigrants
> Father endures Cultural Revolution as a teenager
> After it ends, travels to the US as a member of the earliest wave of Chinese students
> Studies nursing specifically to get a green card, brings his family over
> Switches to studying law in order to open an immigration law practice, makes a living importing more immigrants
> His son goes into politics, uses cultural Marxism terminology to openly advocate for racial animus and an ethnic Cultural Revolution
One thing about these midterms that I cant get over is the amount of issues people had when trying to vote. I keep hearing different voting stations having power outages, updates, and technical issues causing delays during voting. Even my voting station had issues.

lol my lawn mower is only used 1x a week. Should I rent one from OpenAI instead?
Also, who caused the DRAM shortage? It wasn't consumers...
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

You can do this with all of this guy's tweets, it's awesome
Reese's Pieces have no chocolate in them. The peanuts had their oil pressed out and a cheaper fat put back in.
Sugar is first, then partially defatted peanuts, then hydrogenated palm kernel and soybean oil, then corn syrup solids. Everything after that is 2% or less, and it's the dyes, the glaze, some vanillin and a little milk. There's no cocoa anywhere.
Partially defatted just means the peanuts went through a press. The peanut oil comes out one side and gets sold as peanut oil. What's left is a dry peanut flour, and that's what the center is made from, because flour holds a shape in a panning drum and doesn't go rancid. Then they put fat back in, and the fat they picked is hydrogenated palm kernel oil, which is solid at room temperature and costs less than peanut oil. You can see the swap on the panel. 38 pieces have 6 g of fat and all 6 are saturated. Peanut oil is mostly unsaturated, so that number isn't the peanut.
The shell is sugar with 4 dyes and a coat of shellac.

I've always believed that intelligence should come from simple, general building blocks that learn their own abstractions directly from raw data; in other words, the bitter lesson. I think we're finally seeing a real step towards AI that can learn from all data.
Language modeling on raw bytes is a microcosm of this ideal, and to me it's a central problem in AI: if we can't build LLMs that learn end-to-end from bytes, how will we handle the rest of the world's data that we understand even less?
Last year we introduced hierarchical networks (H-Nets) as a first step. Our new version finds up to 3-5x efficiency gains in controlled scaling law experiments, and at larger scale matches an open-source model trained on 11T tokens with ~10x less data and compute. The posts below walk through what we found and why we think it works.

One of the biggest mistake Canada did with its healthcare is bloat it with administration instead of equipment and actual healthcare providers.
We now have Canadians turning to MAID and die waiting for care just because there isn't enough equipment to provide care.
Canada has among the fewest MRI units per person in the developed world, for example.

Somehow a video of me playing Angry Birds while getting on my flight has 25 million views on tiktok?? (And yes, I will take any and all advice on how to get an Angry Birds sponsorship).
When your country has way too many "security firms" your region is likely to have an abnormally high count of persistent threat actors.
Casual reminder to only allow for North American and Western European network traffic into your online services.

I am begging you, please saar... please go to the CFR site and fill out a public comment. THIS ONE will cause LOTS of Indians who should not be here, UNQUALIFIED INDIANS, to be sent back home to Beautiful Wonderous India, the Land of Enchanted Dreams.
Don't send me any requests to do anything until you've told me you left a public comment with the Department of Homeland Security.
Americans and Patriots, the public comment period is open for the new rule to eliminate 60 days grace period for laid-off visa workers. Please do your patriotic duty and leave your comments/opinions. Every comment matters! Add brief and sensible comments addressing the issue of how you or your loved ones lost a job or could not secure a job due to these visa workers filing for change of status to stay here forever and take another American job for which they were not sponsored on a worker visa!
Here is the link.

This story is fascinating and is easily one of the most important things happening at the intersection of AI and politics right now. It's critical everyone understands the situation because this is just the beginning of the AI infowars and psyops
Jacob Coxon, a relatively unknown AI researcher, gives the WSJ an exclusive story about his resignation from Anthropic and his concerns about AI
Twenty minutes after the WSJ story drops, Jacob posts on X about how he's concerned that AI could kill us all in a few years. This post now has over 149M views. For reference, Ilya Sutskever (a very well known AI name) left OpenAI in 2024 and his announcement post has fewer than 6M views as of today
Bear in mind, Jacob Coxon's X account had no prior posting activity public, but it is immediately reposted and boosted by numerous AI-doomer policy advocacy nonprofits funded by the same donor (Jaan Tallinn) who just happens to be one of the leading investors in Anthropic
We find out Jacob Coxon, who worked at Anthropic for only a few weeks, worked for a left-wing political advocacy group in 2021 (Newspeak). This organization is a British NGO with ties to hacking democracy, Hillary Clinton, prison abolition and extinction rebellion
Many major Democrat politicians are now using Jacob's X post to fear monger the public into voting to regulate AI. It just so happens Bernie Sanders has a bill already written to ban artificial superintelligence (ASI) and to create a new federal agency to protect the public from the dangers of AI. This bill was announced just one week ago on September 3rd
It would also place a temporary pause on "advanced AI" until a new federal regulator exists and has issued safety rules and a model-review process
Elon then points out how none of this feels organic, and Jacob decides to take a shot at him for firing some xAI researchers
Meanwhile, we know Anthropic has publicly asked the government to audit and block frontier models and Anthropic has run a state-by-state campaign for rules that only large AI labs trigger, meaning the rules are structured around barriers only frontier labs can easily clear (limiting competition)
There is extensive Anthropic personnel and financial overlap with the groups that wrote the Biden-era AI policies. It is well known information you can seek out if you want the detail
This all seemingly comes back to regulatory capture and political motives. None of this feels natural. Jacob can say these are his real views all he wants, and they may be, but there is clearly far more to the story
