"superintelligence research company"


Please, keep telling people that. For my sake. Keep the world asleep as I take advantage of this technology which is literally General Artificial Intelligence that I can apply towards increasing my power.


Every tool is a technology than can increase ones power.


That is just what it wants you to think.


Not to mention, @Gork, aka Grok 3.5...


In general, the vulnerability of our computers is major national security concern as we enter in the era of AGI. This administration needs to setup a system hardening commission. In the era of AI... if we aren't using the leading AI to hack our own systems first, then when the capability to use the latest models to hack is widely available, we are going to have a bad time.

It is suffering from DDOS attack. People are already politicizing it trying to blame Iran.


Definitely has nothing to do with axing the staff


The site has performed more or less the same after the staff cuts as it did before. I say this as somebody who has used it nearly daily for ten-ish years now. Most users I know have the same experience. Maybe you noticed something if you're parked on Twitter for hours at a time, but I try to limit my exposure to people that do that.

I get that Musk is a dipshit and that there are other problems with the site since the change of ownership, but the griping about stability seems to come from people that don't actually use it.


It's becomming slower and slower over time. Feeds often don't load properly. Refresh only works properly manually since the feed often disconnects. Dragscroll (or whoever it is called when you press a button and you can scroll by dragging the mouse up/down) is broken and results in 100% cpu load and a stalled site until you cancel it. But these are just my annoyances, maybe it's just me. I'm switching it out for alternatives as much as possible anyway.

And as a bonus there is rampant racism and hate.


correct. because twitter 1.0 went down constantly.

and staff has been axed for awhile.

ddos happens, having a large staff isn't really relevant.


quality is relevant


elaborate.


Don't be making a mess in the HN echo chamber!


eh twitter 1.0 was 10+ years ago. twitter more recently had been extremely stable.

It may eventually be able to solve any problem


Ah. Me, too.


Weird demo for a $200 product. Where is the $200 value?


I've found cannabis to be extremely helpful. It adds a tinge of paranoia - so if you're paranoid about not reaching your potential, it can kick you into gear.


nah I found cannabis to be counterproductive in my case. It was never only a "tinge" of paranoia. It always comes up in bouts. And it was a slippery slope. I'd often keep getting distracted with other things like YouTube, games and social media to keep the anxiety and paranoia away.

Took a while to kick it out.


It's truly not a fair fight. There are literally trillions of dollars being spent to hijack our attention
