An interesting take on the quasi-annual hand wringing about the fall of the Boston startup scene: it will happen to the US if we can’t articulate the actual benefits of AI.
@bhalligan I’d make the case that Boston/Cambridge is not the place for the state to invest… they are expensive and dominated by large institutions. We should grow startup culture in Worchester, Providence and New Bedford (shoutout researchandrobotics.org).
@bhalligan @richminer @antrod @Durkin I’d love to pitch in!
A founder/ceo called me just after Christmas and asked a profound and simple question… open.substack.com/pub/matthewbel…
"Pain is the water with which we make our soup." Chogyam Trungpa
A Wireheader's Apostasy If you really understand philosophy of mind it is clear that David Pearce's quest to end suffering is misguided at a logical level and also at an ethical level. Suffering is what negative feedback feels like from the inside. You can't end suffering
@ID_AA_Carmack @PLT_cheater @tanj_b you reply guys stepping to @ID_AA_Carmack need to do a little homework yourselves...

Your AI perpetuating its bliss state is a good description of the step between the 1st and 2nd turning in Buddhism. In the 1st, we reduce suffering because we get perspective and relax. But blissing out isn't satisfying because we know others aren't. AI will know this too.
OK, I finally wrote up my thoughts on what we should do about the risk that godlike AI will destroy the human race. noahpinion.blog/p/my-thoughts-…
A smart, funny, positive, grounded take on AI killing us all.

And drink enough water
Too many deadlines and life feels physically unbearable. Almost nauseating. But get enough sleep, a bit of morning sun, a club in the evening—and suddenly life is beautiful again. We're such chemical creatures, dependent on dopamine and cortisol, on endorphins and oxytocin. No
I agree with these. Great advice. I’d add “say yes almost all the time”. They will ask more if that’s the default, and your no, when it comes, means something.
26 weapons grade parenting tips: 1/ Give them a "heads up," 5 minutes until bedtime, 10 minutes before leaving the playground 2/ Look at the world more through their eyes 3/ Don’t discipline like an angry madman. Stay calm and firm, model how you want THEM to resolve conflict
In the old days @reedhastings used to look up to @HBO for their quality and profits. Now the company he founded owns them and a whole lot more.
Today, Netflix announced our acquisition of Warner Bros. Together, we’ll define the next century of storytelling, creating an extraordinary entertainment offering for audiences everywhere. about.netflix.com/en/news/netfli…
I'm betting that @GaryMarcus thinks that the core architecture of LLMs will derail the forecasts at ai-2027.com/summary but I would love to hear his take!
