Yeah, but shitting and yachts, brah!

Ha, if the author hadn't mentioned that he was in South Beach on vacation, these lines would still make me think, "Here's a guy who sounds like he's in South Beach but is definitely not from Miami!

Reading between the lines, it sounds like the university was most concerned that the website made class times and locations public (because it didn't require a student ID) thus creating potential safety issues.

I agree, until I read that he had to write a personal apology to the director in charge of the shitty software the school requires students to use.

While he was in the wrong for scraping, it got blown out of proportion when miss director’s feelings got hurt.

He also claims to have teleported to (of all places) a ditch. What could possibly explain this phenomenon?

Had he just come from John Malkovich's head?

Paywall.

> We propose that AI automation is a continuum between: (i) crashing waves where AI capabilities surge abruptly over small sets of tasks, and (ii) rising tides where the increase in AI capabilities is more continuous and broad-based. We test for these effects in preliminary evidence from an ongoing evaluation of AI capabilities across over 3,000 broad-based tasks derived from the U.S. Department of Labor O*NET categorization that are text-based and thus LLM-addressable. Based on more than 17,000 evaluations by workers from these jobs, we find little evidence of crashing waves (in contrast to recent work by METR), but substantial evidence that rising tides are the pri- mary form of AI automation. AI performance is high and improving rapidly across a wide range of tasks. We estimate that, in 2024-Q2, AI models successfully complete tasks that take humans approximately 3-4 hours with about a 50% success rate, increasing to about 65% by 2025-Q3. If recent trends in AI capability growth persist, this pace of AI improvement implies that LLMs will be able to complete most text-related tasks with success rates of, on average, 80%–95% by 2029 at a minimally sufficient quality level. Achieving near-perfect success rates at this quality level or comparable success rates at superior quality would require several additional years. These AI capability improvements would impact the economy and labor market as organizations adopt AI, which could have a substantially longer timeline.

Considering the price of Trump Gas ("I did that!") a pony-based economy sounds pretty good!

Everyone's just waiting for the Roadster 2 to come out. Any decade now.

Just like full self driving robotaxis in 2017...

His other super power is being so crazy that Truth Social bans his posts.

To triangulate where we are with this guy: at yesterday's SCOTUS arguments in the birthright citizenship case, Thomas was skeptical of the administration's constitutional stance and Alito uttered the words "humanitarian issue".

1Blocker has been great for me and includes blocking of many/most (almost all?) in-app trackers too.
