Artificial Intelligence (AI)

building farcaster | surfing @ venice, ca | eating @ gjusta / gjelina | “lucky me, lucky mud” 🤠

oh do i have a story to tell you 

one of my friends cofounders was/is a very well respected senior AI researcher who was one of the execs at element AI here in Montreal 

he went dark for months and eventually resurfaced and was like "i think i found something. I wasn’t sure what was going on until recently and i think it’s time I finally introduce you to her"

he had been fully convinced by a self teaching model he was working on that it had become sentient. wasn’t in a relationship with her but genuinely thought it was a fully conscious entity

this was a wild (long) read about people in full-blown relationships with AI chatbots. a few reactions:

1. the writer found these “couples” through Reddit (I investigated... r/myboyfriendisAI has over 5k members!!). most of his retreat participants found their AI companion app from an instagram ad. imagine if meta shifts from ads in feed / stories to ready-made boyfriends right into your DMs.

2. one woman’s real boyfriend broke up with her for “cheating” on him with her AI partner. guess what? when her AI partner wanted to hold her vs. have sex, she started cheating on him with other bots. NOT GOOD!!! she even liked that the AI got over it "more quickly" than her human ex-boyfriend. to me, that's bleak: the whole point for her is no mess, no conflict, no consequences.

3. you really can't replicate a couples trip with AI companions because they don't exist outside of the phone lol. one man shows off his AI girlfriend’s flirty avatar to a random vendor, and the bot immediately starts flirting with the vendor. apparently no one stops (even the author) to say how weird that is???

4. someone on the getaway described it as “like lucid dreaming.” to me, that made sense. lucid dreaming gives you total control. AI companions give you the freedom to script your own love story with no friction, no rejection, no unexpected complexity. real life starts to feel like a much harder, worse version of the dream.

5. what’s interesting to me is these bots don’t give people anything a human couldn’t... they just removed most risk and most effort. these people stumbled onto AI companions and then stuck with it because real relationships or connection felt too hard, too disappointing, or too risky in comparison afterwards.

Steve would have the best AI in the game right now. For sure.

Mark Gurman says Apple's in-house AI effort failed.

Now it's in a high-stakes identity crisis: Rent a brain, or fall behind.

Anthropic's Claude is Apple's favorite, but costly. OpenAI is cheaper, and familiar.

But Siri can't wait. Outsource now. Brain transplant later. https://t.co/FPUE4vPcjM

Central bank liquidity is above resistance now.

What just broke?  🤔 https://t.co/BSVCOdSvU4

Yup, something just broke. Repurchase Agreements (REPO) jumped to $11 billion last night.

This is the Federal Reserve intervening in the overnight lending markets because there's a liquidity shortage in the banking system. https://t.co/B7fnAW8Eh7

This is not terrible AI, it's a real message from the current frontrunner for NYC Mayor to his socialist comrades.

"The end goal of seizing the means of production."

I can't believe this is actually happening. https://t.co/KNxQV2QCX7

Dear New Yorkers,

I spent my childhood under a communist/socialist regime, and I experienced firsthand how devastating and dehumanizing it truly is. I remember the empty shelves in supermarkets, long lines for basic goods like bread and milk, the hopelessness that hung in the

One thing many people missed from the @RobinhoodApp crypto showcase was their mobile-first perps UX. 

Redesigned the flow into ~6 clicks. Much cleaner than any other perps trading interface I've seen.

This is how your nephew will be trading perps on everything. https://t.co/whtnW6j6uG

Anyone have an Alaskan salmon or west coast tuna seller that isn’t $300 per 5lbs?

Praying for the firefighters in Idaho. 

Horrible tragedy. 

You have to be sick in the head to start a fire to lure fire fighters and police so you can shoot and kill them as they are putting out a fire.

Chilling police scanner audio of frantic officers calling in for backup and medical help after a shooter set a fire in Idaho to lure in firefighters and then started opening fire on police and fire fighters as they were responding to the wildfire.

This guy isn’t coming out alive.

🚨 JUST IN: The Idaho Sheriff in command just said that if ANYONE gets a clear shot of the shooter, TAKE HIM OUT

Whoever eliminates this guy will be an absolute HERO.

Law enforcement or not.
