This is a dumb take. This movie premiered early in the year. It’s not a “doomer” movie in any sense. @beffjezos (who OP tagged later in your thread) is actually featured in the movie. I know many folks are trying to spin a Grand Narrative about some coordinated psy-op but this

🚨 1/ Watch this AI Doomer trailer. Then read the timeline. Netflix drops “The AI Apocaloptimist Doc” tomorrow — Sept 15 — to 260+ million subscribers. This film took 3 years to make. It premieres 12 days after Sanders–Casar, 7 days after the Anthropic “whistleblower,” 3 days

I’m in favor of nuclear energy and think it’s the only viable path for Juan development. That’s why I’m against neutron absorbers and graphite control rods. These slow down fission and thus slow down the ascendancy of humanity. Don’t @ me all you decels, LFGoooo!

"Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel." It's true, they can just violate the law and then the president will sell them pardons post hoc, right? Maybe for 20% stake and a large purchase of Trump Coin? We should celebrate civilian actors

Cyril & team are doing some amazing work on safety, open weights, distillation.. the implications are pretty significant.

Ask China's best open model about Uyghur internment camps and it tells you there's no evidence they exist. Ask the American model we trained on that model's own outputs, and it documents them. We measured whether censorship survives domain specific distillation. It doesn't.

Over the last year, I've been funding a new science learning center in Austin, located near the Domain. We have a FIRST Robotics team (@HowdyBots6377), and plan to expand to FTC and FLL. We have a full makerspace, machine shop, fiber laser, electronics lab.. the list goes on!
