long hair tom cold opening with the naked truth

Maybe the AI singularity is just the merging of basic sciences. On a serious note, it says a lot about the post-GPT days, where rapid experimentation and validation tests reduced the barrier of core domain expertise to contribute to the basic sciences. Maybe that's the bright side and will encourage more young students to cross-pollinate and contribute in different fields.

The world needs more constitutional conventions overall. I think the french revolution happened thanks to the printing press, the same is about to happen with AI. The first country to include AI wins

I think you guys need to improve your audio. The volume levels between you need to be equalized. I'm not sure how to do other improvements I'm not an audio guy. It kind of sounds like the signal to noise isn't very good, like you're muffled. As a super easy and quick solution you could try running things through a spoken content audio enhancer. I know adobe has one. I think NPR has some guides to how to produce spoken word content well.

I thought they were talking about ARM architecture.😢

AI U-Boat = Public data poisoning? 🤔

Seeing it all in 4k … nice

this was great, elitists NYC undertone and all :)

excellent opening joke

Man they sure love to crash. I believe theyve hit three of our trucks already. Im apart of the company who delivers and moves the cars around for waymo. Also we do cruises. We have 300 to move out of san fran. Insane.

Naming is HARD, but not impossible... No-promo to plug, but I just wanted to chime in on the WIP name game. As far as audience/clique names go, Tortoises is solid. (It even comes with an emoji. 🐢 Nice!) However, I would suggest resisting the urge to shorten with (seemingly innocent) nicknames. Tort, obviously, has a bad association in English with a whole category of law dedicate to torts. In modern French "tort" translates to "wrong, injustice, crime" and "torter" is also not great since it means "torture" en français. 🫣 With all the French (ML/AI) connections... I'd skip those nicknames. Sure... the etymology comes back round to retort by way of some Latin, but nuance is so often OBLITERATED in translation. But... if edgy, tortured, badassery = the vibes you seek to cultivate, then I guess, Torter away... Alchemists would be a logical choice. Alchemy one of Tom's favorite touch points and the Retort's logo is basically alchemical paraphernalia. As a clique name Alchemists isn't too bad... as long as it doesn't get shortened to "alchies". 🥴

Gay's "farewell" letter and her responses to Congress constitute an excellent example of oxymoron, which I suppose in a way informs the veracity of the accusation of plagiarism. But leaving that fact aside, I am more interested in the propensity to sophistry of our current era, far from raising questions in the spirit of seeking foundations, or first principles, our current discourse seeks to distract from precisely raising those questions and seeking their answers honestly. In the light of the latter, an alarm arises in my mind when the word ethics is used so lightly, when we talk about ethics, what are we talking about? what is it based on and why would it be valid? for example, why for some it is a fundamental right to kill an unborn child, but a capital crime to confuse a black with a gorilla? On the other hand, what is the relationship between these ethics and scientific research, its transformation into technology and the pace at which this technology is introduced into society? By way of example, why is it not considered ethical to introduce a vaccine into society without first going through a long trial period (let's not talk about COVID), but it is considered perfectly ethical to introduce technology at an ever-increasing pace without knowing the changes that this will cause in society?
