I've been watching Claude Plays Pokemon a bit and while it does seem AGI-ish moment to moment, the lack of proper memory is rather crippling as it often gets stuck in loops for hours. Some kind of better memory/online learning may be the last step before we have entry-level AGI agents, but it seems non-trivial.

$5 million seems like too much to attract a lot of interest, especially since becoming a US citizen makes one subject to global US taxation regardless of residence.

The programmers I know usually say it as a single word - which mostly occurs when pronouncing ISO 8601 (which I would say as "eyeso eight six oh one").

Finished (Romance of the) Three Kingdoms, unabridged translation by Moss Roberts. It was pretty enjoyable both as a story and an insight into Chinese history and culture. The biggest difficulty is the constant bombardment of new unfamiliar names. It helps if you already have some idea who the most important players are. Also the last 15% or so is less enjoyable because the most interesting characters are dead and we're basically recapitulating the earlier stuff but grimier and less heroic. Definitely worth reading if you have any interest in the era - or you could watch the Red Cliff movie to get a (slightly modernized) taste.

My guess as to the biggest missing factor between here and AGI is efficient online and self-directed learning (aka continuous or lifetime learning).

"Who started it" is in general a notoriously slippery concept and not something a journalist should be so breezily "fact-checking". They can quote the Association of Very Serious People for a contrasting view if they want.

"You should have never started it,” Mr. Trump said, referring to Ukrainian leaders who, in fact, did not start it. “You could have made a deal.”
Man, I hate this modern trend of journalists smugly injecting their own opinion into reporting. I want to hear what happened and what was said, not what some midwit journalist thinks about it.

What was the violation of the rules here? Seems like a pretty normal Motte post.

Has the Trump/Elon government made any moves to ensure the military is on-side? There's been a fair bit of left media labelling their actions with DOGE etc as a "coup" (eg https://x.com/micsolana/status/1888346474007670971) and last I checked, while the majority of the military votes Republican, the generals are largely woke-left and I'm a little (though not extremely) concerned they could be moved to act if the left-wing media noise heats up. I'm not sure if Hegseth has had time to do anything yet.

Not sure he has any demands, I think he just thinks that trade deficits are bad, therefore tariffs.

I saw someone say that the Instagram reels algo pushes more polished and professional videos compared to the more casual and viral style of tik tok. (I've never used any of them myself).

I've been considering doing it myself lately. Not sure why. Seems fun.
It may be fun for some but if it's not obviously fake then it gratuitously damages social trust by adding to readers' expectations of bad behavior from others. I wish people wouldn't write these.

I think you have to redeem it on pathofexile.com, at least it says that. I'll DM the key to you.
edit: DM sent, enjoy

I have a spare key for Path of Exile 2 early access, anyone want one? (Existing Motte accounts only).
Gleba was by far the hardest planet for me, I got brain-burnt enough that I had to take a break for a couple of days. Works ok now though. Aquilo was somewhat simpler, and much less frantic.

Have played this game several times and quite enjoyed it. Feels like the different components of worker placement, deck building and (very) light combat work together nicely to create tension.

I’ve literally never seen a Pro-Israel/Pro-Russia poster in the wild
Common enough on the non-antisemitic far right, though maybe that's a bit of a niche...

Logitech G502x wireless is nice mouse (using it to play factorio in fact). I use a large Razer mouse pad.

Maybe spending some time every day thinking about your goal in a positive sense (focus on what's good about it) might help motivate you?

Sounds like you don't have a clear goal or reason for getting a degree other than that it's vaguely something you feel expected to do.

You could be describing my wife there. I am very happy to be married to her.
Direct audio input is better than a transcript because it can capture things like tone.
