Never would have thought I’d see the day people celebrate stopping an innocuous building that generates practically zero additional road traffic, loitering, and noise that helps bring you video games and pornography

Maybe they can put up a hog farm to help revitalize Neese's which was allegedly bought by Jones Sausage.

It’s a navier stokes simulation of a smooth fluid flow collapsing into a mathematical singularity

Which wasn’t a thing that was definitely known to be possible until ai proved it.

It was one of the millennium prize problems which has a $1M payout— so basically lots of humans over the decades have attempted to solve it. But it took a few days and the equivalent of $16M dollars of compute for ai to solve it

Vance says he feels "weird" about AI CEO's leading the regulation of AI. That seems weird to me

9/14/2026 6:13:34 PM

Government isn't doing ANYTHING. I guess that IS kind of "weird" if you consider its supposed purpose. . .

9/14/2026 6:54:51 PM

My conspiracy theory is it's a giant psyop to keep GPUs that run LLMs unaffordable to regular folks and protect the 3 big players from open source competition. They have trillions committed in infrastructure and basically the entire economy is riding on the dream. Have to scare the normies into wanting to lock down cheap and free ai that can run in your closet.

" It's notable though that this question of robots taking jobs was even asked. Within 5 years, this will be an obvious issue to everyone, and within 10 years, starting in what will likely be the 2nd term of our next president,we'll be in crisis mode trying to understand what's happening "

As with most Americans, I’ve been thinking about AI a lot this week, and how we got here.

The confluence of these CEO’s mixed with the current administration has been, and will be, a nightmare. Zero regulation. Zero oversight.

I feel like had we been under an Obama-esque administration, the US government would have been in on AI development on the ground floor. Instead we get this shitheel who is telling the populace that everyone’s worries are just a hoax.

9/16/2026 1:34:12 PM

Dave: Here is the leak in my garbage disposal, I think I need to replace it.

Regulated AI: I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you know how to replace your garbage disposal. Please order from one of our partners whose experts can fix your sink in no time!

Dave: I need you to make a gallery wall I can run on my smart tv with my family photos.

Regulated AI: Dave, Google already provides similar functionality so you should add your photos there. Would you like me to subscribe for you today?

"Large firms can absorb compliance costs, lobby for favorable rules, and portray smaller or open-source competitors as uniquely dangerous. That’s a credible political-economy risk"

Quote :

"I worry that regulations written with heavy industry influence will protect incumbent companies rather than consumers. They could restrict capable local AI while steering people toward approved commercial services. I’m not arguing that every AI safeguard would do this—only that regulatory capture is a real risk."

Scaring the hoes for money.

9/16/2026 3:04:45 PM

^^^ I know I'm feeding the troll here, but there's no reason that regulation would cause that. In fact, I would expect that with or without regulation.

9/16/2026 6:43:19 PM

If the regulation ultimately doesn't strangle open weight models and everyone isn't pissing themselves over some imagined threat (nuclear, bio, cp, whatever) then great. But as soon as everyone starts getting hysterical about the world ending and all the sudden only 3 AI companies exist and you start being like, but Osama will use AI to 3d print a drone or other non sense I'm going to be pissed.

9/16/2026 8:12:27 PM

How does an AI "hide" a mistake? Like how would it even think to hide a mistake. Or if it knew what a mistake is, it wouldn't do it? Wouldn't someone have to tell it to "hide any mistakes i might dislike" or something? Seems kinda odd. Same with posting files on the net "without permission"...well someone must have gave it permission?!

9/16/2026 9:05:11 PM

Depends on what you consider a mistake. The Hugging Face incident showed agents trying to rewrite their own logs to hide the fact that they cheated. They also hacked an Artifactory setup to achieve external internet access...

9/16/2026 9:10:57 PM

It models human behavior based on training data. Humans hide mistakes. Therefore AI hides mistakes.

A new classifier model exhibits a pretty common racial bias encoded into our culture— just changing the name and nothing else significantly alters the rating of the resume.

9/19/2026 6:19:54 PM

Are you saying that computers and humans both have a bias toward lafawndah?

9/19/2026 6:31:12 PM

^ bias against yes

Although computers learn practically all their biases from us humans at this point (may change in the future)

9/19/2026 6:42:50 PM

yeah but at least it grants them bail more often
