    @firstprimate

    Nice statement about LLMs by Mike Brock:

    - An #LLM is a translation engine: it maps between representations of things humans have already written, and does this so fluently that the fluency gets mistaken for understanding.'

    and

    - The #AGI assumption: whoever builds it gets to charge monopoly prices.
    Beijing decided nobody will.
    DeepSeek prices at $0.87 per million tokens. OpenAI‘s price is $30 — for work that most paying customers cannot tell apart.

  2. Tune Tuesday's theme this week is Rent Free Tracks. Songs that live rent free in your head.

    My brain is constantly cycling through songs. lol

    This song is always in my head, mostly because I change "That's just my baby daddy" to "That's just my baby Maddie", which is my dog's name.

    B-Rock & The Bizz "MyBabyDaddy"

  3. #Australian #Supercars legend Allan Moffat passed away today aged 83. Moffat won four Australian Touring Car Championships, four #Bathurst victories, six Sandown wins, & more than three decades of extraordinary #Motorsport achievement.

    #Moffat, famously a #Ford man, had a longstanding rivalry & friendship with legendary #Holden (General Motors) driver, Peter #Brock.

    Here is a piece I wrote on the 2018 XC Falcon Cobra 40 Years PMC: coinofnote.com/2018-xc-falcon-. I didn't mention Moffat in the piece, he drove several XC falcons. He won Bathurst 1977 in an XC Falcon (pictured). In 1978, he drove the Cobra variant (like in the PMC), securing Pole position with a record time of 2:21.59 and a speed down Conrod strait of 159 mph, although ultimate forced to retire that race with a broken engine.

  6. David Brock on Clarence Thomas and supreme court hijack: ‘The original sin’

    #David #Brock once attacked #Anita #Hill,
    who accused #Clarence #Thomas of sexual harassment.

    ♦️His new book slams Thomas♦️

    Thirty years ago, David Brock made his name as a reporter with 🔸"The Real Anita Hill",
    a book attacking the woman who accused Clarence Thomas,
    George HW Bush’s second supreme court nominee,
    of sexual harassment.

    After tempestuous hearings, Thomas was confirmed.
    Brock
    – who memorably characterized Hill, a law professor, in sexist terms as “a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty”
    – was launched as a rightwing media star.

    Thirty years on, Thomas still sits on the court, the longest-serving hardliner on a bench tilted 6-3 to the right by three confirmations under Donald Trump.

    But Brock switched sides long ago, disillusioned by rightwing lies.

    He apologized for smearing Hill and eventually became a prominent Democratic operative, close to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

    He founded watchdogs and Super Pacs and kept on writing books.
    He dealt with his political conversion 20 years ago in 🔸"Blinded by the Right: the Conscience of an Ex-Conservative".

    Now, with🔸 "Stench: The Making of the Thomas Court and the Unmaking of America",
    he has returned to what he calls “the original sin” of the modern supreme court:
    “Thomas’s perjury to get on the court”
    and his allegedly untruthful answers to questions about his treatment of Hill and other women.

  7. And a bit more….does he need some earthworms?
    (Spent the last five days partying in a field so I’m a wee bit fatigued - progress is likely to be slow. There is also a mountain of muddy laundry to sort out as well as de-smegging the campervan. Those of you who are interested in partying in fields may do well to consider the awesome Bearded Theory festival next year.)

  10. The court, a panel of 3 Democratic appointees, did NOT overturn the conviction. But it said that a lower court judge erred in deciding that #Brock should face a stiffer sentence for “substantial interference w/the administration of justice,” ruling that the #penalty does not apply to #crimes committed at the Capitol.
    
≥100 people convicted in connection w/the #Jan6 attack have had their punishments shaped by that enhancement, & they could now ask to be sentenced anew.

  11. >100 people convicted of participation in the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection at the Capitol may have to be resentenced after a #FederalAppealsCourt Fri overturned a #sentencing enhancement used to help determine their punishments.

    The decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit came in the case of retired #AirForce LtCol Larry R #Brock Jr, who had appealed his #felony #conviction of… [#obstruction]. #Trump faces the same charge.

    🎮 Pokemon Hentai Version

    This fan-game is a hentai parody of Pokemon.
    I spent nearly a decade making this game with various contributing artists but stopped working on it years ago due to burn-out, so while it's fully playable it's only about halfway done, with about 5 towns completed. The game is no longer being developed.
