There must be something like 3-5 quadrillion commercial tokens in process per month now. Probably 20-30% of them output tokens. 1,000,000,000,000,000 AI generated tokens per month now. Unfathomable numbers. Proof Of Humanity is the hardest problem for Social Media to solve…
Google is processing 980 trillion+ monthly tokens across our products and APIs (up from 480T in May) 🤯 No slowdown in sight, intelligence is everywhere.
In 1959, Heinlein wrote about this future as science fiction.
IMO every platform is at risk of serving 99.9% AI generated content. X, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The question becomes is the content BETTER than the human-made ones, on metrics that are IMPORTANT to humans. If it is, it should proliferate and become popular. If it's…
I'm concerned that social media (well, just this app specifically) will go the way of Google search results, and way faster than anyone expects. Social media that's 99% populated by bots sounds like a pretty bad outcome. Facebook is already halfway there.
Ultimately, social media companies may have to charge new accounts a nominal fee when they sign up just to keep the bots away.

George Mason University is a public institution that has embedded racially discriminatory DEI programs into every facet of its operations, and employs dozens of DEI apparatchiks—all on the public dime. The president of GMU should resign.
“With these efforts underway, Senators, the goal is clear: either DEI will end on its own, or we will kill it.” -@AAGDhillon
Sundar Pichai on the earnings call: - 'The growth in usage has been incredible. At I/O in May we announced that we processed 480 trillion monthly tokens across our surfaces. Since then we have doubled that number. Now processing over 980 trillion tokens. A remarkable increase'
Unfortunately, the Organ Procurement industry hasn't policed itself into universally upholding their implicit contract of "we won't torture you to death" This isn't a one time thing by a single deranged doctor. You'd be crazy to incentivize these bureaucrats to profit from your…
To be clear: There's no way this is an issue at scale. You should still be an organ donor.
Apparently when you give every disordered mind & budding schizophrenic the ability to generate millions of lines of text for free, they end up posting it all on lesswrong. Who'd have thought?
Fortunately they now have a curated post to help people who are going through it! lesswrong.com/posts/2pkNCvBt…
Maryland, home of the NSA, meanwhile has a rounding error-sized datacenter industry.
Almost as if all that massive AI capacity will be used for, gasp, spying
To my knowledge, no one has ever done the work integrating all the costs of foreigners committing crime into their calculations of the economics of immigration. The "they don't get welfare" narrative is typically deployed to distract from the fact that illegal-headed households…
About that last paragraph: The US remains almost alone in the West in admitting millions of people from African and predominately-Muslim nations who have assimilated reasonably well to the host culture, not committed a lot of crime, and have not been a drain of welfare services.
Remember when we used to have 24/7 grocery stores all over urban America, before BLM 2020. That was pretty convenient.
An #NIH-funded study used ChatGPT-4 to evaluate MRI & CT scans of people with pancreatic cysts and accurately extract clinical variables. The study shows potential for a more efficient and cost-effective way to review scans. Read more: facs.org/media-center/p…
Trump's first term had a large effect on mass media distrust.
Democrats are the least distrusting of mass media
Yes.

Canada is dealing with a surge in thousands of cases of measles, far surpassing the U.S. raw numbers despite having a much smaller population. Canadian liberals have no RFK Jr.-style figure to place all the blame. bbc.com/news/articles/…
