How's this for a conundrum? You spend several months of your life trying to uncover the real-life identity of perhaps one of the older and most experienced ransomware access brokers out there.

Brother have gotten to where they are now, by NOT innovating

In this excellent scrollytelling piece, the FT explains basically everything you need to know about the genesis and concept of generative AI. RNNs, transformers, LLMs, beam search, hallucinations, grounding, RLHF, and the general recognition and prediction of motifs or patterns – it's all there.

I don’t need “ai” in my terminal, I’m perfectly capable of typing something that looks plausible but does something completely unexpected myself thanks

On Election Day, Biden will be 29,936 days old.

Trump will be 28,634 days old.

Biden will be ~4% older than Trump.

4% more intelligent?
4% more experienced?
4% more stable?
4% more qualified to be president?

Many, many times that, folks.

Fresh episode for you on a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. Enjoy!
