When you have an agenda to fulfill… and you must frame it negatively…

Naval had a great tweet recently:

“Science is not a process, a credential, or an institution. It is the unflinching pursuit of truth, carried out by the few, co-opted by the many.”

When did we start institutionalizing it? How about letting the truth be bent? What about the focus on consensus? That’s also what lead to the current situation.

How did we get here? Careful what you wish for, that’s how.

Just a simple example: when you play with firm biological facts, you might just open it all up to being bent. But then, wasn’t that maybe the goal all along?

A few interesting undertone points in the article, for those who care:

- reliance on US technologies is not so good, but on Chinese is not discussed, just chosen

- environmental cost is of concern

- so are the energy costs

In the end, there are some clear tips on how to configure the LLM, but overall the article is a bit thin and rather biased.

You are really mixing things here, tbh, not sure whether in good faith.

How does it compare to DHH’s Omarchy? Looking for opinions from those who tried both.

This, cutting through the noise, this is it.

People who have not discovered the importance of time, and can’t appreciate an outstanding leadership.

Signature, a distinctive signature that looks like.

The “do good” behavior is astonishing

The power of one, the power of a mind who can’t take no for an answer to the inner voice.

And don’t lecture me about the many, for the many wouldn’t have started it, they joined the one.

You know the one, cherish him.

Thanks!

I still remember the doom preached at the crossroads. Guess what happened over the next years.

It worked for Twitter, very well from an IT point of view.

Recently, I’ve noticed that nothing hits the top spot as quickly as anything negative about Elon.

Tell me the success stories of solar/wind renewables in Europe. Don’t cherry pick either.

Btw, do you think going ad hominem changes anything?

Knowing a bit about Spain and the officials over there, I’m skeptical that their plans will materialize anytime soon.

Nuclear, not renewables

Who’s going to sanction them? In what way?

The uncomfortable truth. The pursuit for more and cheaper doesn’t always justify the means.

Amen!

Quite a strong change over the years. I wonder still, what this all will lead to, even more so given the recent developments.

Amazing what one stubborn person can put into motion

Their HQ is in Texas.

He did so so much more than writing their checks. But what am I doing here, who am I seriously talking to?

Around the board, including at X.

“Never been done before – xAI did in 19 days what everyone else needs one year to accomplish.”

He’s a twat? What are your credentials?

How does your argument counter what I wrote? Nonsense is sometimes but only projecting onto a mirror.

Outstanding engineers care of doing engineering and making progress. And having a leader they can see burning for a mission and a goal. A leader who gets down and dirty with them.

Boeing does much much more of that.

Why don’t they deliver, in spite of them being decades more experienced in this area? Why don’t they deliver in spite of getting much more money from the government and from your mentioned complex?

But he’s the catalyst for it all. There are other billionaires in this game too, why can’t they replicate his success? Why can’t they hire his engineers? Why can’t they deliver the results?
