Luckily the author continues with > I say this because a few unthinking “performative leftist” nitwits as of late have decided to attack the science of taxonomy itself).

> "Hey, it's the CEO, pay this bill to X for $Y" Sure. Now imagine this very scenario not limited by humans and scaling the way machines do. And then let us consider the current re…

I can't remember a time in which Atlassian was trusted.

It's been over a year and the trifecta holds true. The term 'prompt injection' has been round since May 2022 [0]. No amount of "but the future will fix it" has fixed it. These brea…

This discussion again. We've been having it for 6 years now and Tailwind remains popular. Lindy's Law tells us it will remain popular for a while longer. Many people are productive…

Neat. The correct examples are refreshing to read. Claudeisms are grating in ways that make me want to switch provider.

In a similar vein, who gets to claim Nicola Tesla? Europe used to be much more of a mess than today's neatly drawn nation states, retroactively assigning origin is a silly endeavou…

Offensively dull. One shudders to think about the endless bickering that went in to this. May I propose 6 shades of off-white adorned with geometric shapes. €5 gets dots, €10 lines…

Your point about avoiding conscription and using contract troops (mercenaries) or undesirables is supported by War on the Rocks' reporting. And who knows, maybe setting the periphe…

Indeed. And bringing the attacks deep in to Russia may embarrass the regime and may have led Putin to (allegedly) stage a frontline visit [0]. And yet we must never forget that the…

This is all good news, but one must remember that airpower alone does not win wars. > Overall then, the promise of strategic airpower, that it could win wars entirely or primarily …

You got it all wrong. You see, AGI (conveniently ignore the definition for now) might be able to replace everybody. In truth it will be uses by the C level to subjugate everybody e…

We are closer to the Cleopatra than she was to the construction of the great pyramids. Some of those tombs are unfathomably old and anyone who cares has turned to dust a dozen time…

It gets better. Kagi search summary likes "people also say..." and then refers to a random LLM reddit thread.

Circumstantial plus expecting the worst. A company and founder with such an extensive list of publicly known misdeeds (starting with Facesmash), chances are that there are many ske…

It has been [0] days since the last report on nasty Meta shenanigans. On a related note, I believe (based on no evidence) that Zuckerberg knows of a lot more nasty dealings and wan…

Shame. There is something thoughtful in the post, I am sure, but I am so tired of reading Claude that I couldn't get myself to engage. One could hope that the author is making a me…

> As economists, they told me, they’re less concerned with literary quality or customer satisfaction than revenue growth and market expansion. As a human, I am concerned with these…

I have no idea what you're on about. I said "regulate the proverbial crack" and gave two concrete examples of things going wrong. At no point did I hint at "stop people from conver…

Social media, as we have it today, is not healthy for anybody. It is bad, truly bad, and the companies responsible know it. You can't lace beer with crack and sell it. Not to a 12y…
