Interesting that in the second image the text on the whiteboard changes (top left)

Could you share an example?

Trump said he wanted to make polls that were "bad for him" illegal, and to take broadcast licenses away from networks that criticized him. DeSantis tried to take an abortion ad off…

I don't get this argument, since Trump has called tens of folks nasty names, called Harris a communist, marxist, etc. and called Democrats the "enemy within". Why is the standard d…

Most of their economic policies, Medicare for Seniors, etc. apply to poor White folks as much as anyone. Harris never campaigned on trans issues whatsoever.

It's curious that clicking on the links doesn't take you to a /page.html but rather just /page. Is that due to Cloudflare routing?

https://colonist.io is the browser version of Catan. I play it often!

I think it very much depends on the kind of "future" we aspire to. I think for most folks, a future optimized for human health and happiness (few diseases, food for all, and strong…

Agree that better public transport is the ideal solution. When do you see self driving cars becoming required?

Personally I think there’s a distinction to be made between generative AI and that of say, self driving cars. I’d definitely consider the latter a net positive for safety.

Don’t forget AI driven relationships, ala what happened with Replika

I think my bigger concern with AI in the short term isn't the immediate displacement of all jobs, but something more personal. In much of the world today, we observe the fraying of…

100% agree. It always irks me that we’re using AI to solve “problems” that don’t exist (the automation of creativity and relationships, things that make us human) while not putting…
