The Gatotsu is a fictional swordfighting style from the manga/anime series Rurouni Kenshin wielded by Saitou Hajime, one of the main characters. It also refers to the frequent stance and movement Hajime makes when fighting.
In the video, Alex Karp stands next to a young woman. One may surmise that he is trying to impress her with a display of sword mastery. In his right hand he is holding a broad, curved sword, maybe a sabre. His left arm is outstretched at shoulder height in front of him, pointing at an imaginary target, and the sword is pointing at the same target, held at the same height with the flat side parallel to the ground. He performs an awkward looking thrust, as if mimicking the Gatotsu as mentioned above. In the rest of the video he is playing around with the sword, sometimes performing the same thrust and otherwise tossing it limply around in his hand.
The satan thing makes a certain kind of sense. Probably catering to a bunch of different flavours of repressed: grindr republicans, covenant eyes users, speaking-in-tongues enthusiasts, etc.
Part of me wants an Ito-created body-horror metaphor for LLMs. The rest of me knows that LLMs are so mundane that the metaphor would probably still be shite.
In the last couple of years I have noticed that people have been using single purpose phone holders/straps (as opposed to a multipurpose thing holder like a handbag etc.), so I understand this as apple coming in a little late trying to cash in on a trend. That being said: Apple don’t try to make their soft material products to last, so I expect this to be hot garbage.
tangent: I’ve seen people using this Bubblegum Slop (BS for short) in their social media stories. My guess is that fb/insta has started suggesting you use their slop instead of using music licensed from spotify, or something.
yud’s scientific model is aristotlean, i.e. he thinks of things he thinks should be true, then rejects counter-evidence with a bayesian cudgel or claims of academic conspiracy. So yeah genes are feature flags, why wouldnt they be (and eugenics is just SRE ig)
I saw this, so now you all get to: Alex Karp performs a stationary Gatotsu with a sabre, don’t ask me why.
