Not just online; priests, CEOs, celebrities, politicians; don't make them happy you're a sinner, a bad employee, hater of freedom, etc. Anyone with a rhetorical opinion but who oth…

Looked at repos of the two loudest users in that thread; either they have none or it's all forks of other projects. Non-contributors dictating how the hen makes bread.

Tested shorter. Takes 2-2.5 miles to trigger a muscle relaxation response in core and shoulders. Another 2+ miles in that state to feel the same release in extremities and head/men…

Doubt a lawyer actually modified a website. That's what GPT is for. Trivial syntax glitches matter when it is math and code. In law what matters is the meaning of the overall compo…

Regular people don't have global reach and influence over humanity's agency, attention, beliefs, politics and economics.

Nuremberg/just following orders might fly if we were talking about a cashier at Dollar General. This is a genius tech bro who ignored warnings coming out institutions and general p…

It's claimed Adam Smith wrote hundreds of years ago that (paraphrased) division of labor taken to extremes would result in humans dumber than the lowest animal. This era proves it …

Front row seats to the apocalypse would be metal af.

Car manufacturers need to step up their hype game... New Honda Civic discovered Pacific Ocean! New F150 discovers Utah Salt Flats! Sure it took humans engineering and operating our…

Shortcuts run but often do not trigger all the stages in a pipeline. No issues with same shortcuts prior to installing iOS26. These Shortcuts do not trigger UI transitions. They se…

It's "culturally normal" for first worlders like us to thoughtlessly dump production of material needs on 12 year old sweatshop workers in Asia. You have a point but I am not sure …

It's not just the keyboard. My iPhone 15 is often so unresponsive I am tapping twice as much. Example but the issue not limited to web browsing; Safari will do nothing, I tap again…

Two things: Decades of reiterating to myself it's none of the verbose semantics and socialized sensory memory my brain tries to feed me (imposter syndrome for example), but is just…

A generation deified via TV appearances and book sales for decades. They look online and see humanity moving on. They look in the mirror and see less time ahead of them than behind…

The doomer-takes point out correctly none of these systems can halt entropy, thermodynamics. Physics has an unfortunate tendency to conflict with capitalisms disregard for external…

I know PBC; legal semantics that dictate various financial terms. I also know the specifics because for some reason those specifics matter to some people, and it's been personally …

So a local ballot box. Host a platform like this at city hall, county building, capitol building, schools. Only a human can access a terminal. Have humans monitor ingress/egress. A…

Laws are words with zero meaning if they go unenforced. Politicians are not interested in assuring such. Public is busy arguing semantics online; they are not interested in assurin…

OpenAI has "open" in their name but is closed off to public access and input Google used to have a motto "don't be evil" Who enforces the definition of language? Who demands compli…

The conclusion Google is engaged in consumer capitalism is wild. They're engaged in computing research and merely engage in consumer capitalism as a consequence of political and so…

Everyone misses the technical goal of Google size AI. Fill the gradient of machine states, then prune for correctness and utility. That is not to say it's a good goal. But at the e…

Exactly. So we should not believe numbers posted ASAP to Yahoo and other for profit media to drive engagement. Wait for revisions from the source. Cheap publishing that reaches acr…
