Looks like the tool that was mirroring my Mastodon posts here broke recently, or was blocked, or something.
I'd try to fix it but honestly I really don't care enough. Twitter is really so noisy and toxic. So, bye!

Who else is thinking about a strong #AI for the #Mastodon#Fediverse?
Something that is #learning primarily from all our opinions and discussions and shared data/observations from people and sensors, sorting through it using widely-acceptable and open… openedtech.social/@martin/11…
We require everyone to take basic capability tests to drive a car or a plane or ship
For some reason we don’t require the same of those who drive our companies and governments openedtech.social/@martin/11…
With the combination of where VR is going (like Vision Pro with great hand and eye sensing) and where robotics is going (cheap humanoids with great flexibility and sensors), my longtime dream of being able to travel instantly to anywhere in the world… openedtech.social/@martin/11…
Yep, feels about right.

A lovely long reflection from Daniel Jeffries about likely future AI development, typing together lots of fields such as neuroscience, psychology and (non-LLM) AI research. Good read!

The killer app for AR is going to be whatever lets a family easily get into a shared spatial app layer superimposed on the real world.
I’d give our housekeeper bots access too, of course, imagine how beautiful it could be. openedtech.social/@martin/11…

One month in, I am loving the Vision Pro.
I’m using it every day for useful work (with a mix of projected computer screens and native apps). I’ve been waiting for VR to get here for 30 years and it really has. The concept is now proven.
The sheer… openedtech.social/@martin/11…
I don’t like anyone who gets into positions of “I can run the world for huge numbers of people” or, frankly, people who idolise them
I love people who are thinking “how can I help build the right tools and frameworks so that we can ALL run the world… openedtech.social/@martin/11…
I always hated that when I studied Physics, I had no intuition of what order I could study topics in, except linear.
The latest LLM use-case I love is feeding the Table of Contents of a textbook and asking it to create the dependency graph of topics!

Hold the fuck on, hold the motherfucking fuck on a second… are people actually out there talking about a Trump win being “inevitable”?
You’re talking about the twice impeached, quadruply indicted, 34-times convicted, adjudicated rapist, business fraud who kept our national security secrets in his f’ng bathroom and wanted to see his VP hanged for not breaking democracy?
The sociopath who golfed while thousands of Americans were dying a day and asked about injecting bleach is some kind of fucking “given”?
The “dictator on day one” who said he could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and would inherit a Supreme Court that would actually let him? That guy’s winning is already written?
Really?
The child-separating racist who is promising detention camps and mass deportations?
The Putin puppet who’ll abandon NATO?
We’re just gonna surrender to that fucking guy and all the accompanying awful that comes with him?
Now? In JULY?!?
Because he’s got a pantyliner on his ear thanks to a twisted fuck who got his hands on a weapon we’ve all been trying to ban??
Are you fucking high?
