The article tries to fact check Asha Sharma's (the new CEO) claim that
fertility rates are declining, the average birthrate in the ’90s when we were growing up was, like, 3, and now it’s 2.3, and in 2050 it’s estimated to be below replacement
Unfortunately, they forgot that other countries than the US exist and didn't occur to them that she could be talking about global fertility rates. In which case the claim is pretty much correct.
Embarrasing.
Broke: The METR studies are the best research on impacts of AI productivity available today.
Woke: The METR studies are hot garbage.
Bespoke: Both. It's both.
Apparently some of our AI Safety cult "friends" are planning a protest in London on 28th of February.
Is it going to be something worth critically supporting instead of the usual criti-hype? Possible, but not likely.
The AI Safety movement is finally changing by ~~Sillyconversations~~ Siliconversations.
Who?
I used to be a quantum scientist and now I'm a YouTuber. My parents are thrilled.
Oh, okay.
Also curious that they're not protesting Anthropic on the thumbnail. A cynic would say they're giving them free pass because they say the right shibboleths.

Oh I get it now. I thought there's some backstory that either Nathan Baschez or Simon Willison lied about having a CS degree.
You have a level of faith in humanity that is completely unwarranted.
Your mum is an antique.
Wait, wait, wait. I didn't realize this before. Who the F needs to lie about not having a CS degree? Being a code monkey is (or at least used to be) something, where you can get away with not having a degree.
I unfortunately do understand. I think there are severe tradeoffs between living a good life and living a virtuous life. Most people usually compromise to lesser or greater degree and find ways to cope with that. Nihilism is one way.
I think I understand it. Think of an alcoholic that's trying every sort of miracle hangover "cure" instead of drinking less.
Two thoughts:
That this is not just some random AI generated graphic, but from official Microsoft tutorial is unpleasantly unsurprising.
I think the tinm (timn ?) axis goes the wrong way.
I love* how the AI stans never get tired of proselytizing.
*Love, as in: "I love to get my eyelids scraped with a cheesegrater.
