    Okay so supposing everybody is acting in a benign manner, following their incentives and passions, not meaning to mislead anybody. Do you think that this results in writing a misle…

    Compilers are a layer of abstraction that we can ask another human about. Some human is there taking care of it. Until we get to the point where we trust AI with our survival it wo…

    I'm thinking about this a bit more. It may be the case that Daniel and the project are so under siege that they need to take a hostile attitude toward some of the people they inter…

    It has modern features. It stores message history. It has a fairly unique feature of letting you create ad-hoc "topics" (that go under a "Channel") that make it easier to manage th…
