*These changes land during the holiday period because timing is now part of governance. When scrutiny is low, defaults can be reset. By the time attention returns, the answer is simple: this is how it works now.*

*...poetry confuses the AI’s pattern-matching brain, making malice seem like mere muse.
Think of it as whispering secrets to a guard dog trained only on shouts. The dog hears the melody, not the menace, and lets you pass.*
Brian Roemmele on X: "BOOM! POETRY BREAKS AI “ALIGNMENT”
*Fiat is an experimental kind of currency that is (weirdly) printed by each individual country, and people took somewhat seriously between roughly 1600 AD and 2009 AD. It tends to gradually lose value over time. You could show Fiat in Euros if you wanted, instead of dollars, with this switch.*
*When you follow someone on Nostr, you publish a kind 3 event listing every pubkey you follow. This is not a security ritual; it is the normal behavior of using a social network. But that follow list, signed by your key, is now a cryptographic attestation. You are implicitly saying: these are the people whose content I want to see, whose judgment I find valuable enough to include in my feed.*

*...their prediction that training compute goes to 0% is the part that feels directionally wrong.
Also, IMO, with a breakthrough in “continual learning”, Nvidia's stock will get another boost.
Nvidia sells the picks and shovels for both training and inference. If anything, continual learning can increase inference-side complexity, because you are not just serving forward passes, you are also managing memory, state, and sometimes update steps. That tends to push you toward more capable hardware, not less.*

*Inference is where the hype has to convert into margins, and it's also where the compute bill never stops: each new user, workflow, or agent adds recurring demand, not a one-time training run. That's why the buildout has started to look less like a moonshot and more like a utility race, with companies scrambling to secure the power and capacity to serve what they expect will be always-on intelligence.*
The year AI tech giants, and billions in debt, began remaking America
*It’s hard to comprehend how badly the credit based financial system has distorted our perception of reality.… People have been convinced of the idea that it’s good for them that they are losing purchasing power all the time thanks to inflation.*

*Curricula optimize for clean exams, employability, and tools — not long-horizon failure, adversarial reality, or responsibility. Reality lives in the tails. Education lives in the mean.*
