The other way around, surely? The ‘ghost’ being the soul, absent in purely robotic beings. Yes, it’s hard to accept that for many, the notion of quality is conflated with uniformit…

its the only weakness of the corpo-capitalist gestalt!

Most people have a local view of their world through their immediate surroundings, not a panoptic or holistic perspective on the earth or their nation. The power of collective acti…

It loads but you can’t interact

It would be interesting to see their internal guidance on LLM use. It’s a massive amount of new power that has to be wielded carefully. That kind of guidance might mean the surviva…

It’s just waiting for the killer app, the Pokemon Go of cryptographic signing.

> i leave now to not disturb :( What a tale for our times, amazing write-up.

Somewhere, the locomotove nomads travel the wastes of North America in their reinforced rail cars. They never speak to one another, but sometimes you can glimpse the deisel smoke o…

This is how most consumer vr used to be before the (oculus) quest, and it worked fine. The data path was massive with base stations etc. A lot of people did get motion sick, but it…

The previous argument was wrong and imprecise, as it could be used against any modern technology, none of which can be fully understood by a user, in the sense that any vulnerabili…

Yes, make the battery 2x bigger and include the compute in that. It would be so cool to be able to plug in arbitrary input devices too, like a dvd player, but its understandable th…

Those datacentres would be in the same position of trust as a VPN provider in that the data must be unencrypted at points in the process. They could be making it very safe, and the…

The critical mass of people who don’t use critical thinking as their main means of decision-making.

Of course, but it’s interesting to see how they apply that marketing mold to security devices, by making up use-cases which nobody is buying them for. It contrasts with the crash d…

This is an interesting subject; would you recommend any other books? For someone with very little knowledge of things like this.

Some might say the information here is even more padded and puffed than in a traditional presentation.

And talking for exactly 10 seconds while the ai generates to maintain the semblance of a live demo.

It seems very disturbing in the current environment somehow, like nothing bad ever happens in Apple world, when in reality many things are falling apart. For example the part about…

Maybe so It’s interesting to think about the ‘best’ way to organise a society; its enticing to think that society could be contained in a single encompassing structure, but such a …

The idea is it wouldn’t work on trust, each element would be bounded by forces other than a single structure; getting to the state in which self-regulation is possible is the diffi…

Someone creating a more intuitive, graph-based UI for rules would be good, otherwise it’s easy to get lost in the overlapping mess, like you have to run the ‘bank email’ rule run b…

Altman’s orb is as terrifying as it is because businesses might see it as a solution to a real problem—a problem he helped to create.

That’s probably the sensible route… No use being idealistic about these things, public companies aren’t known for their sentimentality after all :)

Is there an actual reason for it, apart from Apple hurrying devs along? For the consumer, the benefits of backwards compatibility are obvious, but it’s sad that companies don’t see…
