Which is just not going to be true or feasible

'Charlie' Kim is also most definitely faking his title/score

@yhbryankimiq I have no interest in telling people what to believe, but this man is a fraud.

︀︀Go to his account, and he claims every other thing with the same label: "As the world's highest IQ holder",

The 276 number alone should tell you that hes a fraud, the iq scale makes no sense in those ranges

I hope not

Has to be him

Of course both fraud tests (IQ and INTP) are mentioned in video

I'd like to think me having single digit IQ feels like one of those moments where "these smartass are having an ego-off I can just steer clear"

And not care

At least its same pricing as sonnet 4 so i might actually get access to it

better than opus so now i don't need to burn through my rate limits using opusplan mode

marsh oracle
#

Have they ever said what kind of tasks they put these models on that take them 30 hours?

hoary charm
#

don't think so

#

actually when 4 dropped pretty sure they had a recorded demo of opus doing 6 hours or something like that

#

and they usually have customer early preview testimonials about task lengths, i think rakuten mentioned the 6-7 hour mark

#

i think i might've been A/B tested on with 4.5 a few weeks ago ngl, i was noticing claude code doing parallel tool calls and the docs here explicitly call that out

marsh oracle

Would be curious to see cause i notice, and constantly see others say this, that these models degrade pretty quickly after a few back and forths

Man sometimes i wonder why more americans dont really engage with the stuff in this chat but then I realize it must be exhausting... Also maybe being a little ignorant makes the days go by easier. Honestly in their shoes Idk how brave i'd be at the rate its going. The fact that a lot of people are even concerned about there not being another election in the future feels bleak. Or even that the people in control could rig it easily.

#

Did you guys see that video by that sidemen guy Niko? The one at the UK racist rally? Brits got a lot to deal with too it seems

In this context I mean ignorant more like intentionally avoiding consuming too much of current events. There is only so much you can take knowing there's not much you can do

Even I lately go maybe a week without paying too much attention then catch up in spurts now.

Being aware that nothing you think or say really matters isn't a great situation to be in, particularly if you are restricted from even expression

Seemingly petty drama I discuss about is relatively relaxing compared to what generally happens here

# half heath Man sometimes i wonder why more americans dont really engage with the stuff in t...

not to speak as the representative of all americans but i'm very aware of current events, especially when it's in your own backyard. i think you'll find a lot of agreement if there were to be any discussion and not much pushback. but also, the party politics gets tiring because we're not people in power, and the people in power are pissing any opposition away (look at what hakeem jeffries said yesterday). nobody cares about a local nyc mayoral election apart from locals or the people interested in a democratic socialist running. people have no power when the president can just sign NSPM-7. here in california we have a gavin newsom special election™ to redistrict like the red states are, that's about all we got

yes it's difficult to engage because we see it every day and are tired of it, but also feels like it'd go in circles

I could see how it becomes extremely frustrating for Americans because of extreme parallels with Turkey at this point

I do not bring up this comparison lightly

He would be funnier if he is not closer to JD Vance and Fetterman in terms of policies as he wants voters to believe he is, that doesn't mean i do not ensorse him attacking Republicans with such methods

I think while Newsom is evil and corrupt, unlike Jeffries and Schumer, he is somewhat smart and knows aligning with Republicans in hope of mediation won't succeed at this point, particularly with his vulnerable state as a political target

I also thought that while I commend Newsom being agressive towards Trump and Vance because he is atleast somewhat smart to protect his popularity, that he does not seem to have the comedic genius that some seems to have

#

The only thing I propped Eric Adams for is what i think is a natural alignment for hilarity, I never endorsed him as a person or a politician, god forbid, he is promoting trash bins as a revolutionary finding only he could have done (albeit wild that NYC did not think to implament them and let people throw trash at sides and ground)

I think a lot of people are just scraping by and don't want to pay the enormous cost in time and money for a child. Housing costs are probably the biggest difference from a generation ago.

Still a 0.8 birthrate is pretty close to 1 child, but that is the other half of not talked about as much, that even when a couple do choose to have children after having one, they question why they want to have more, adding even more cost in time/money, or whether its fine to just have 1 child and invest all their resources in raising that one child

But yea help posting those pics is a good way to show why their culture is the way it is. They historically worked damn hard to get out of the mud and thats probably why education is so valued. That much quality of life improvements in 70 years is something else. But i think there is also an element of corruption that kinda doesnt allow them to do stuff like make more protective labour laws and control real estate prices.

One of the reasons he understandably has to be active is that he has seen Trump copying the Turkey V2 route by imprisoning almost any notable opposition figure and also destroying provincial authorities, he is going to be on Trump's list soon particularly as Trump pushes for a renewed civil war of sorts

You know you keep mentioning turkey and there are similarities but most people would say they are inspired by 1940s Germany

fossil basin

not saying it is a wrong referene to be made, but there are more recent parallels

#

but currently political spheres within Turkey and Russia is set to become a more relatable (as in time period/proximity) setting for global consensus now

though 1940s (and also 1930s germany) is definitely an inspiration point for these guys, per some of their direct quotes...

#

I am also not the German one, so I feel a bit more comfortable bringing parallels from more within my direct oversight, would i be prone to make mistakes in my assessment

there's people living closer to Germany in the server and i frankly think they can make more informed commentary on that parallel than I could

Yea for sure its just that its more rooted in white nationalism so seems more accurate imo

Turkey is just following the authoritarian playbook 101, they're not particularly unique in any way. Trump & co right now are much closer to the Germany 1930s playbook. Doesn't matter that it's longer ago, it pretty much matches 1:1

fossil basin

not as in "this hasn't happened before", but more so that it is the notable example of recent decades

it also matches 1:1 here as well, not that i claim it does not match with Germany 1930s, i see the parallels

openai is burning like 7b a year at this rate so they've gotta figure something out and ads will probably come soon

even more so as soon as they open up sora to public use

Does anybody know the situation with Gemini and Google

Speaking of ads

If perplexity comet is where things are headed it is mega cooked

anthropic is backed by amazon but has large enterprise customers, openai has the mandate of SF/NY/DC, xai has musk money, microsoft owns a large part of openai

comet is already cooked since google started adding gemini to chrome

Statement from OpenAI and King Estate, Inc.
︀︀
︀︀The Estate of Martin Luther King, Jr., Inc. (King, Inc.) and OpenAI have worked together to address how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s likeness is represented in Sora generations. Some users generated disrespectful depictions of Dr. King’s image. So at King, Inc.'s request, OpenAI has paused generations depicting Dr. King as it strengthens guardrails for historical figures.
︀︀
︀︀While there are strong free speech interests in depicting historical figures, OpenAI believes public figures and their families should ultimately have control over how their likeness is used. Authorized representatives or estate owners can request that their likeness not be used in Sora cameos.
︀︀
︀︀OpenAI thanks Dr. Bernice A. King for reaching out on behalf of King, Inc., and John Hope Bryant and the AI Ethics Council for creating space for conversations like this.

Oddly not a lot of legal updates are around the case since this year January

#

Such events are hard to work with legally

#

The case has not resulted, no news of a resolution or settlement

#

It's also hard for ultra-rich to be convicted or found guilty of despicable things, particularly under Trump government

will whoever comes after the maga cult have the balls to tear it all down

blazing depot
#

Wdym after

wind agate
#

if newsom becomes president (emphasis on IF), he'll tear down anything trump

eager parrot
#

some of the things this administration has done

#

is close to irreversible in terms of bureaucratic timeframes

#

it would potentially take years if not decades to rebuild something like USAID for example if they even wanted to do that

#

the shock and awe, fast and furious, insert whatever other catchphrase they use, method of tearing things down really quickly and in as irreversible way as possible while ignoring the courts is very intentional on this administration's part

#

they know they potentially only have 4 years to do it, and the vindictiveness and vengence with which they are trying to do it reflects that

#

so they want to make sure it would be VERY difficult for the next democratic administration, if there is an after Trump, to change things easily back to the previous status quo

#

basically by shifting the equilibrium, overton window, whatever you want to call it, it would require a seismic shift with the same kind of intensity to go back to a previous equilibrium

#

this is a true test of just how robust the US government is or was supposed to be

#

it hasn't even been a year.

you ever have a headache so bad it makes your face do stuff
first was my cheek throbbing, now my lip is twitching uncontrollably

marsh oracle
#

If these last for more than a few seconds its probably not a good sign

plush leaf
#

this headache has been lasting since 1 pm😭 it’s currently 6 pm where i am

marsh oracle
#

Oh i meant the muscle spasms

#

Headaches are just mean like that

#

Ive stopped waiting for them to go away and just take ibuprofen

plush leaf
#

okay. i’ve already taken like 1,000 mg of acetaminophen/paracetamol

#

yeah the twitching only lasts a couple seconds. it’s just been on and off for like 30 min now

eager parrot
#

unless you already have a history of migraine or something along those lines where it explains such prolonged headaches

#

but yeah, what schmali said, pain isn't really meant to be tolerated despite what parents may have instilled in some, just take the NSAID drugs and let it go away

plush leaf
#

i would like another fioricet script. that helped

eager parrot
#

then perhaps just check in with your family doctor/physician of choice and get them to write you up a series of tests and scans

half heath
#

easier to tear things down than to build. Unfortunate but optimistically maybe the populace will be a lot more against facism after seeing all the negatives. Which means even if it takes 10-15 years to rebuild, you could hope for many decades of cultural resetting

eager parrot
#

fioricet looks like it's codeine+caffeine+acetaminophen+muscle relaxants, I'm always wary of such combination drugs especially for repeat use

plush leaf
#

…i might go to the ER cuz i don’t have the money to see one of those right now 😭

#

the only thing i have is expired sumatriptan

#

i’ll check to see if my mom has ibuprofen

eager parrot
#

you can always ask a local pharmacist whether the expiration is too long ago and how effective or dangerous it would be to still use expired pain meds like that

#

like tylenol-3 (codeine infused ones they give for surgeries) is usually good for 3-5 years after expiration even.

#

but yeah see a doctor, especially if you are young, they will try to fix you. after a certain age they'll just tell you "this is how it is, tolerate it"

plush leaf
#

that sucks tbh no one should have to tolerate this😭 but i hear you.

#

i’ll probably google how far sumatriptan is good for after the expiration date

#

cuz it only expired in August

marsh oracle
#

Most drugs only lose some potency instead of turning harmful

#

that seems to be generally true for dry medication yeah

but yeah a local pharmacist will answer that for free over the phone or in person
