I really enjoyed this article about how LLMs “fool” people into believing they’re actually intelligent. I especially enjoyed this because at a corporate event, I got to see Oz the Mentalist who was incredible.
He did literally every single one of the things mentioned in this article. Down to interviewing people before the show, but did it in this crazy sly way that didn’t make you suspicious.
Anyway, for quite a while, I was genuinely dumb founded by how many intelligent people I knew were constantly spouting “wait til GPT-6 bro!” When I’d tell them LLMs are dumb and just fancy autocomplete.
But I’ve been reading more and more and I realized two things. First, it’s great marketing but second, people are so hopeless these days, they’re hoping a rock we’ve tricked into doing math will eliminate the bad things in their lives. Spoiler: it wont.

Ya, I really need to quit it. I left twitter long long ago, made a huge improvement in my life.
Man, I hate Reddit. Filled with a bunch of rent seekers who don’t want to do anything for themselves. Every time I post something, which is super rare anymore, I’m immediately greeted by morons who always think they know better than everyone else.
And don’t dare suggest someone take the harder path in a situation. You’re an absolute monster if you don’t just affirm that one should always take the easy path. Ughhhh….
wtf does Saylor mean an AI can custody bitcoin? How the fuck is it going to do that?
This happens in the b2b space too. I’ve worked in security for 10 years now and sometimes I’ll read a vendors site and not know wtf their product does at all
I miss the days of high quality hardware that I could just plug into shit, rather than needing some worthless app to use it.
Such a great take. I agree completely. He’s definitely a hype man who is obviously dishonest at times, but it doesn’t mean 100% of what he does is bad. The same goes for literally all people, including politicians, even though that take will upset some people here. Unfortunately, the ratio of good to bad is usually extremely skewed and that makes it really hard to acknowledge the good 😅
Wild. I’ve noticed they keep advertising the same couple roles too. All around, they seem like a cluster fuck.
I had an opportunity to interview with them recently, but two different people reached out to schedule, both of which were pretty high on the org chart. Felt very disorganized, so I declined. Sounds like it was a good choice haha
Replacing it will make very little difference, if any. Most of these EDRs are extremely similar and only vary slightly in performance. So the only benefit would be if you’re hoping to get them to MS or another vendor. But running a business that is any bigger than say 50-100 employees without EDR is very unlikely, especially for regulated entities.
So, there’s no real difference or any party other than competitors that bebwfit
The answer is that they won’t be off it without replacing it…
Crowdstrike is primarily for business customers. Typically, nearly every business is under some type of obligation or expectation to run EDR software. So even if these companies go off crowdstrike, the expectation will be that they go to another provider. Generally, they’ll turn to Microsoft for Defender for Endpoint, which is more advanced than the Defender that comes preinstalled in windows.
We are too dependent on tech as a society. We have almost no resiliency when it doesn’t work. My only hope is that people start to realize this and start to unplug more.
Or you could just watch without doing any of those things and just enjoy watching 🤷
Very interesting commentary about narratives and themes

Man, Destiny is just flat out despicable.
nostr:note1ehd80ru73ey78vegn6j4y7f7mmn0rtf6ftemn2ud3zuhf8nj066qr28rn6What’s really wild, this seems to be happening in almost every industry. I’ve had many conversations this week with folks in tech who are starting to see a similar pattern where more and more people are working far from the actual customers and generally making things worse.
The debates im mostly seeing aren’t even considering the govt wasn’t part of it. They’re just debating whether it was staged or real 😂
From what I’ve heard, the timeline is pretty tight. He was spotted while getting into position and seemed to only have a few moments to get his shot. So idk, I still doubt it.
I don’t know enough about his involvement in the other things you mentioned to have an opinion. I just personally don’t think the deep state is capable of keeping it a secret that he’s part of them. Someone else pointed this out yesterday, but it seems more likely that they wanted him to be a part of it but once he rejected Epstein the knives came out. I have no idea, I’m not firmly convinced of anything but the probability this is a false flag feels very small to me.
I think the fact that the shot was also rushed given that many people watched the shooter get into position also suggests it’s not a false flag. That just adds a tremendous amount of risk to the whole thing.
I personally don’t think Trump is a deep state asset and I do think that some of the SS were complicit. Deep state is usually very sloppy with their handling of events to meet their ends. They don’t believe that enough of us are smart enough to figure it out.
