    The prompt was bad, but what's worse are his critics.

    One of the problems with the #luddites is they ravel in their ignorance of the technology as if not understanding it gives them some mystical insight.
    If you hate Ai, you are the first cohort that needs to keep up, otherwise you just sound dumb.

    The "thou shall not hallucinate" prompt to be effective is "verify against credible sources"
    👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆

    This works 100% of the time as modern #LLM do in fact pull live results of searches and know what is a credible source. I know this to be true because I have used it literally hundreds of times, doing manual desk checks in the early days to confirm it work.

    What this does show is #andreessen arrogance, just like Luddites that he/they don't need to learn about #Ai because THEY ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TECH.

    A position that is silly, when the tech evolves monthly.

    Using AI is a learned skill and Andreessen and his critics demonstrate that they think they don't need to.

  4. "Marc Andreessen, a philosophical zombie, can be easily replaced with #AI. I bet that’s great news for #a16z’s investors, since it means Andreessen no longer must be paid — and it frees him up to be the subject of some philosophy experiments."

    Yeah, I've suspected this about the ultra-rich for some time now. Great article!

    Marc #Andreessen is a philosophical zombie

  5. Marc Andreessen saying "I have absolutely no introspection" is simultaneously a "No shit dude, that was obvious when you opened your mouth the first time" moment, *and* a "Wow, that explains so much about him" moment.

    Achievement unlocked.

  7. if you haven't listened to this audiofile unearthed by #RyanGrim you should:

    bsky.app/profile/ryangrim.bsky

    It reveals that in 2013 the ex #Israel' military spy chief and PM, #EhudBarak, heard of the names of the Lords of venture capital, #Thiel & #Andreessen, from #JeffreyEpstein!

  8. One of the more famous digital investors, Marc #Andreessen, half of the #a16z name, is not only on the board of #Meta, but also investor in #Doublespeed.

    And Doublespeed's goal is to create #AI ads and spam them to social networks. Of course, neither declared as AI nor as paid advertisement. To promote products you might not buy otherwise.

    The future is coming. You will not like it. Unless you are Andreessen or some of his friends.

    Es beginnt ebenso kafkaesk wie komisch, als der NYT-Bestsellerautor Silverman vom Investor, #Entrepreneur und Trump-Unterstützer Vivek Ramaswamy angeheuert, bzw . wie ein Asset eingekauft wurde.

    So a la "Hat gute Kritiken, verkauft haufenweis Bücher, also investieren wir mal ein paar Peanuts und heuern den probeweise an".

    Geheuert wofür? Das wussten nämlich beide nicht und so blieb es, weil...

    Heut gibts ausnahmsweise mal eine Buchempfehlung , nämlich "The Gilded Rage" von Jacob Silverman.

    Der Titel spielt auf das "gilded age", das vergoldete Zeitalter der US-Ölbarone vor 100 Jahren an.

    Silverman zeichnet ein garstiges Sittenbild, wie eine parasitäre Oberschicht aus sogenannten "Entrepreneurs", Investoren, Zockern, Opportunisten und Betrügern in den #Faschismus abgedriftet ist.

  13. A new group of Coinbase stockholders has filed a derivative lawsuit in Delaware. This is a follow on suit to an original suit filed in April 2023, alleging the company's leadership including CEO Armstrong, and top investors, including Marc Andreessen over an alleged years long scheme involving insider trading of billions of dollars worth of company stock.

    The allegations amount to a type of insider trading claim that Armstrong, Andreessen, and others avoided roughly $1B in losses by selling $2.9B worth of stock following Coinbase’s 2021 direct listing.

    Further, information was allegedly withheld from investors, Coinbase insiders (Armstrong, Andreessen), sold $4.2B worth of stock in the company. The plaintiffs allege these proceeds constitute “lucrative insider trading” that took advantage of the “artificially inflated price” of Coinbase stock. decrypt.co/350490/coinbase-c-s #CoinBase #Lawsuit #InsiderTrading #Armstrong #Investors #Andreessen #Crypto #CryptoExchange #CryptoCurrencies #Stock #StockPrice

    美中擬定TikTok協議架構,將美國業務轉移至甲骨文等美資財團控股的新公司,中資持股降至兩成以下。美國議員擔憂中共仍有影響力。新公司將在美國重建TikTok app,並由甲骨文管理用戶數據。此協議仍在協商,細節可能調整。

  20. “After reaping the benefits of that public infrastructure and investment, #Andreessen went to the private sector, where he developed Netscape Navigator, eventually selling his company to AOL for billions of dollars.
    And now he has betrayed the very system that made his success possible; the system in which he and a handful of others like him have profited disproportionately relative to their contribution.”
