Insane dark patterns from @magnific / @Magnific_AI which has been charging us for 6 months under the old, nearly unreachable platform. Objectively predatory. You can't even get to the legacy site to cancel because it auto-directs to the new site! Shameful.

The LEASE was the agreed upon plan

I'm going to say this again for those at the back: hundreds of thousands of TONS of books —some of them "rare" in the sense that obsolete books on Windows 95 programming or service manuals for Singer sewing machines from 1985 or books of racist jokes from 1958 are "rare"— are pulped or landfilled every year. It's illegal to digitally archive them because the PUBLISHERS won't allow it. If AI companies are diverting them to use for training on the way to being thrown out, that's GOOD, actually. The reporting on this is custom-crafted to be rage-bait for normie middle-class liberal book lovers, and you all are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Just complete suckers. Nobody is shredding Gutenberg bibles or the Codex Gigax here.
In the age of AGI and infinite engineering, how is Google Slides humanity’s single worst web app? Surely no one has touched it since 2014?

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

I genuinely believe we’ll look back on this era of the web and think we were all just collectively insane.
The best technology of our existence for reading is ubiquitous yet there’s never been a worse reading experience.

It's on Tubu. It's literally on Heebee. It's on Poodee with ads. It's literally on Dippy. You can probably find it on Weeno. Dude it's on Gumpy. It's a Pheebo original. It's on Poob. You can watch it on Poob. You can go to Poob and watch it. Log onto Poob right now.

This is an absolute goldmine.

I couldn't find an image that featured o3 and GPT-4o's performance on competition math (AIME 2024) in the same graph. So I made one.
I also annotated the image with the date when each model was released.
Conclusion: the speed of progress feels...intimidating.
Please keep in mind that I am an advertising creative director with a purely hobbyist interest in AI and definitely not a ML researcher. I used a graph posted by @polynoamial when o1 was released.

Today, I’m excited to share with you all the fruit of our effort at @OpenAI to create AI models capable of truly general reasoning: OpenAI's new o1 model series! (aka 🍓) Let me explain 🧵 1/

Replace the US Federal Tax Code's 7000 pages and millions of words with a simple flat tax. It could fit into a few pages of simple english, make paying taxes simple and enforcement even simpler.
