It was in Sep 2016 that this account was @premiumbusiness, back when the word actually meant what it's supposed to. Just leaving this here for future reference.

Satya wrote this article himself, in contrast to a lot of the AI-generated responses Dario’s essays, roon’s tweets, Noam Brown’s posts, all slop-free too A counterintuitive measure of AI fluency is knowing how not to overrely on it

The car analogy that Marques used in the clip below does not explain what is going on with the Apple / Google Gemini collaboration. This may be a bit too inside baseball, and I may get in some trouble for saying it, but it will provide all of you important context. Marques, and ~200 members of the press and media including myself, attended a 50-minute “talk” with Craig Federighi and a few other Apple VPs. This talk occurred after the WWDC keynote. It was 50 minutes of Apple talking about its Google Gemini collaboration (plus some Siri AI demos). I found the talk to be very helpful in understanding the broader dynamic involving Gemini models, including what exactly Apple is bringing to the table. Marques must have been daydreaming during the talk, because if he had paid attention he would not have run with that particular car analogy. Downplaying Apple’s work to basically “they are providing the tires for someone else’s car” is disingenuous and factually incorrect. Also, I don’t think Marques’s employees who were at WWDC attended the talk, so they may have legitimately not understood what was going on. To be fair, one of them did say in the clip “I don’t understand any of this.” Here’s the thing. Unfortunately, none of this matters. YouTube’s algorithm doesn’t reward accurate analysis. It rewards watch time. And in today’s media landscape, well-produced and edited videos will get people watching. Also, as YouTube channels get large, the creator inevitably does more, including sponsored content and videos, spreading out their time and watering down whatever their initial core competency was in terms of analysis. The end result is supper jazzy videos with nice editing and transitions (because they have teams of people behind the videos) but awful analysis (you can only be as smart as the smartest person on your team). That’s today’s media landscape folks. This is why I recommend that people new to video and YouTube compete on the analysis front. The largest YouTubers are very beatable on that front, as shown below. However, you likely won’t get as many views as them, so you need a business model that will work with lower view counts. Please choose your podcasters, writers, videographers, and analysts carefully.

People should avoid buying cars, scooties, and bikes till the 2027 Q4. Tab jakar they'll get restless and change policies and work for the people of India. I don't understand what kind of uncertain policy is this... Regulations are made overnight without any testing and then they outright reject claims of engine damage.
🚨 "I signed the final regulations to legalize the use of 100% ethanol in India," says Minister Nitin Gadkari.

For about 2 hours and 20 minutes, I was transported back to Sunday mornings on Doordarshan in the 90s, watching a franchise that shaped a fair bit of my childhood. Thank you @mastersmovie!

JUST IN: Andrej Karpathy, a top AI scientist at Anthropic, is reportedly barred from accessing the company’s most advanced AI model because he is not a U.S. citizen.

Was in the market for a new vehicle, and was fairly set on a few options that I would test drive and buy within the next 3-6 months. Now, after all this blending policy ambiguity, pushed back the purchase to when clarity emerges (or some sense prevails).

#help Need a cross between a standing desk (manual or motorised, either works) and a foldable table on castors so it's easy to stow away. Kinda like the Ikea MITTZON but with standing desk functionality. Or a @lillipadco equivalent for India, that folds down for storage? Any reccos?

So I figured out how to bypass Siri waitlist #wwdc 1. Change your device region to US 2. Change your language to ENG US 3. Make sure your phone is charged above 70% 4. Turn off Siri 5. Restart your iPhone 6. Connect iPhone to your MacBook 7. Make sure you enter the password on your phone to allow connection 8. Unplug 9. Boil 250ML Oil 10. Crack 2 eggs and coat your iPhone with some bread crumbs 11. Fry until golden brown Golden brown, texture like sun Lays me down, with my mind she runs Throughout the night Yeah, don’t do this.
