The difference between this machine and the ones that came before is that there won’t have to be a human in the loop to execute mass murder.

Militarize is just bad marketing. Call them cleaning machines and put them to work on dirty things.

These are going to be war machines, make absolutely no mistake about it. On-device autonomy is the perfect foil to escape centralized authority and accountability. There’s no human…

I feel such vindication in my disdain for this work, and the people who continue to automate human experience away. You are monsters who mistake luxury for bliss, money for agency,…

15 minutes a day at most, usually less, and I did not do any drills on slow words. Over time errors smoothed out.

Web browser engine, and OpenSSL (or equivalent) patches alone are the main concern in userspace. Those codebases are a constantly moving target. Look at the stream of CVEs and secu…

I really recommend MonkeyType. The UI is great, the stats are clear, and the modes are really elegant. https://monkeytype.com/ I used it daily like the author for about 6 months to…

It’s like I summoned you! Just be honest about your incentives if you care to make these arguments. Then be prepared to answer the accountability question, for when the system inev…

Absolutism doesn’t tend to win long term, that’s fair, but I’m personally content to critique sama's ongoing lack of good actions and behaviour.

There was plenty of opportunity for a sovereign wealth fund for decades within Alberta and for all of Canada. You’re saying now it’s only on the table that the filthy liberal coast…

Ask a hard question that you can’t answer by means conventional to you, like science or straightforward logic. Keep asking why until something bothers you. That discomfort is calle…

“If the brain were so simple we could understand it, we’d be so simple we couldn’t.”

Every time you deny yourself this kind of agency you are denying yourself your humanity.

The perpetual existence of greed is not a good enough reason to structure all of society around that singular trait.

There are so many bigger concerns than this. AI won’t let you write good crime fiction because the guard rails will stop you from writing anything good. Be more concerned about the…

Why should less thought be put into things made for children?

Managers will be replaced by AI when people are willing to work for them. Does anyone really want that? Who the fuck wants to work for an unaccountable machine who you can’t grab a…
