As a German: He did, and even if there is a chance that he didn't mean it like that the risk of another 1933 is not worth it. I usually don't like cancel-culture but you have to have boundaries and I think the risk of another Holocaust and all the other Nazi cruelties is a boundary a functioning society should be able to agree on.

> As a German: He did As a Jew: He didn't. (This argument is absurd.) He was interviewed about it, and he said he didn't. How does being a German get you to jump to conclusions? Are you born with a special ability to detect nazi salutes? Like, did a mirror neuron and a nerve in your torso twitch? When I saw it, I recognised him beating his heart, throwing it to the crowd, and immediately thought "This is going to get…

I’m pretty sure than being from Germany brings a lot of cultural knowledge about the nazis. I’m from a bordering country and I also had extensive education about the nazis.

Now, I am not convinced that people of the mentioned religion are anymore better than others to fight nazis. Or even detect them. And when you read the recent international news, it’s clear that many of them don’t really mind genocides after all.

Do you have an example of at least one entry level job an AI can do? What is the evidence that AI do such job?

Customer service, entry sales, jr data/business specialist - Ada's LLM chatbot does a good enough job to meet service expectations. - AgentVoice lets you build voice/sms/email agents and run cold sales and follow ups (probably others better it was just the first one I found) - Dot (getdot.ai) gives you an agent in Slack that can query and analyze internal databases, answering many entry level kinds of data questions.…

Thank you for mentioning some cool projects, they all seem to target very specific use-cases not necessarily handed by junior roles. I guess PaaS services like Heroku/Render/Fly took away juniour DevOps roles then, but at least PaaS don't hollucinate or generate infra that is subtly wrong in non-obvious ways.

I usually find Claude to be my favourite flavor of LLMs, but I still pay for ChatGPT because their voice offering is so great! I regularly use it as an "expert on the side" when I do other things, like doing bike repairs. I ask it things like "how do I find the min/max adjustments on my particular flavor of front derailleur", or when cooking, and my hands are dirty, I can ask stuff like "how much X do I usually need…

ChatGPT advanced voice mode really is surprisingly excellent - I just wish it:

1) would give you more time to pause when you’re talking before it immediately launches into an answer

2) would actually try to say the symbols in code blocks verbatim - it’s basically useless for looking up anything to do with code, because it will omit parts of the answer from its speech.

YES, this is exactly the case and why the Twitter layoffs and now the "DOGE" purge is a terrible thing (even in cases where it was totally legitimate to eliminate "waste"). "They had useless make-work jobs and sent 4 emails a week and watched TikToks the rest of the time" So? There's FAR too many people and nowhere near enough jobs for a large portion of people to do something that is both "real", and provides actual…

We don't just have "bullshit jobs" (which is an actual term these days), we have a "bullshit economy" as well - centered around advertising because without advertising most of the bullshit just wouldn't sell. Like, if you already got a car, you can drive it for 10-20 years easily, or more if you take well care of it. But advertising makes you think you "need" a new car every few years... because that keeps the econom…

Just because a whole industry is bullshit doesn't mean I should force it to not exist. I don't like musicals. I don't understand or care anything about their culture. But it has a right to exist. Some people are into musicals. Their existence or non-existence isn't my problem and it isn't my business. We cannot and should not try to engineer the world around what we personally find valuable and ignore what others find valuable, even if they got their opinions form an ad, or their parents did and they inherited it.

Sounds like a minimum wage

More like a labor subsidy, backed by taxes... Which would need a minimum wage law as well. This seems like a great idea to me! Making it cheaper for businesses to hire people for these jobs would lower prices for everyone, improving accessibility of the services.

I may just be missing how this would work.

How would this help lower prices? The taxes have to be paid for by someone, and that cost should largely end up landing on the consumer.

It seems like we'd be changing who's hands the money moves through, but it still has to be paid for one way or another. If that's the case we'd risk higher prices since taxes have to subsidize prices and cover all the costs of running the program in the first place.

The search index is provided by Brave: https://simonwillison.net/2025/Mar/21/anthropic-use-brave/ - Brave is now listed as a subprocessor on the Anthropic Trust Center portal - Search results for "interesting pelican facts" from Claude and Brave were an exact match - If you ask Claude for the definition of its web_search tool one of the properties is called "BraveSearchParams"

Remarkably, it looks like Brave will survive even while Basic Attention Token is essentially dead. What an interesting pivot.

There is video of him doing a heart to the crowd thing. It's quite different from his nazi salute.

He said “My heart got out to all of you.” If he had said “SIEG HEIL!” I would totally be on your side. But it was plain old American English, and it was about love.

It’s a lost cause. He didn’t make such a salute but that doesn’t stop people from seeing what they want to believe. Extreme political tribalism is absolutely destroying human discourse.

Compare Musk doing a my heart goes out gesture https://x.com/kingore91/status/1884580205185954045

to Musk doing the nazi like gesture https://x.com/iam_smx/status/1881583500991889729

I think there's a difference.

To me him saying my heart goes out after the second one was trying to cover his arse which seems to have fooled few people who see the videos.

And I'm not sure about the tribalism thing - I was kind of a Musk fan and initially gave him the benefit of the doubt but the comparison of the videos plus his promotion of neo nazis in European politics, plus his mums parents leaving Canada for SA because they were kind of nazi and Canada was too liberal all seems to add up.

Very disappointing, Brave is the last company I want my data going to
