I'd rather be at the mercy of superintelligent AI than these retards. That's really what it comes down to.
The woman who blocked the project told Fox the $5B investment would only benefit the employees of the data center, advocating for the site to be turned into an indoor trampoline park instead. Every local trade union and small business is weeping.

Data centers are our generation's version of nuclear power in that they seem to be supported by anybody with any brains and are exclusively hated by the most self-satisfied, uncurious retards alive.

Day 4 of building in public πŸ› οΈ A few of you asked how a lead gets tied to the revenue it brings in. Next up: matching jobs and invoices back to leads automatically. Who else is coding after the day job tonight? Let's connect πŸ‘‡

I have stage 4 cancer. I thought I'd fight it alone. I was wrong. Since mid October, ~20 strangers on X have stepped up to help me. All for free so far: - An NYU Langone lab offered to run my tumor data through their system to sharpen my vaccine targets - A U Michigan lab offered to test drugs on my actual tumor cells - A biotech ran AI analysis on my tumor RNA - A vaccine company offered to design a second vaccine to check the first one Scientists. Engineers. People I've never met. Cancer has been picking us off one at a time for all of human history. It counts on us fighting it alone, scared and quiet. Not anymore. We have AI. We have the internet. We have each other. Cancer, we're coming for you, bitch. Buckle up!

My AI agents found an unmapped Maya site in Mexico, using LiDAR data from a NASA dataset. 72 hours from a random thought on vacation to a reply from Mexico's national archaeology institute. What a time to be alive…

Elon Musk directly employs >160K people. At an average salary of >$80K/year. They can pay for food and housing entirely because of his innovation and entrepreneurship. How many people have you employed, socialist?
JUST IN: Economic analysis of 64 countries finds that nations with more billionaires per capita tend to have fewer people living in poverty.

We call this mimetic profit
RenΓ© Girard on why the business world is more creative than the intellectual world: β€œIntellectuals are often contemptuous of business and business people; but in business, you can at least distinguish the successful people from the unsuccessful people. If your business is losing money, you will immediately ask what your competitor is doing much better. And you'll start imitating your competitor. But if you are an intellectual, you will manage to rationalize things in such a way that you always want to do the opposite of your competitor. Therefore, you'll hide the fact of imitation better. A businessman who is responsible for a business will immediately imitate his competitor. That's why the world of business today is probably more creative in relative terms than the intellectual world. It is the last creative world because, in intellectual life, you don't dare to imitate others.” From CBC Ideas

the future is now old man turn the sound on πŸ”Š this might be the best thing i've created on accident
Built a physical simulation of a record player with WebGL2 and Web Audio. It's *shockingly* accurate: vinyl-gl.vercel.app. Instead of playing a song, it works by converting it into the physical shape of a groove. Then a simulated stylus rides those walls 384,000 times a second, and you hear the voltage that motion would induce in a cartridge. So the crackle, the pops, the wow/flutter, the dull inner grooves are natural byproducts of the simulation. You can also "DJ" the record. (The converted songs are in the public domain or CC-licensed. Code is linked for you to remix and re-deploy.)

Now you can really see everything
my vocal synth models the vocal tract as a network of branching acoustic tubes, unlike vocaloid which stitches together and pitch-shifts phoneme recordings. still working on improving naturalness by tuning it against recordings of real singers, but I'm already impressed at how cool it sounds!
