oman piilaakso-kokemuksen perusteella voin arvata että siellä on juristit tutkineet rangaistusasteikon ja todenneet ettei seuraamuksia tule tai mahdolliset sakot on pieni kuluerä “cost of doing business”. voi olla myös että rakennusprojektit ovat toinen sisäinen organisaatio kuin tämä tyyppi.

i know this is rhetorical, but obviously there is an executive in the chain who is a fan and insists on it. that’s how corporation operate.

please podcast about this too! i just listened to your louis armstrong ep and the thing about confusion *which* satchmo one is talking about is something i’ve experienced. “no no i’m not talking about grampa’s louis, i’m talking about great-great-grampa’s louis”. hot 5 / hot 7 is so great.

During you travels in Belgium & France have you seen the WoodyBus aka Veloctobus? Some have semi-transparent solar roofs. They're big enough for adults. Could be manufactured in local school woodworking shops, with permission & guidance from inventor. Carbon fiber likely lighter for hilly areas.

i was just watching the pbs reconstruction doc series which is pre-ai and does something like this to dramatize some images/scenes. it’s a bit gimmicky but fine, as this sounds like to be. i have a bigger problem with prehistoric planet kind of dramatization/fabulism.

why do you feel like you have to self-deprecate or apologize for cringe because you quote coates? this is genuinely weird to me and i ask out of ignorance and with respect.

AI is an unregulated emergency on every level--academia, art, national security, privacy, the environment, faith in journalism, and on and on and on--and deriding those who are desperately trying to pull the handbrake as we go over the cliff as alarmists will not age well (if we get to age at all).

I feel like the debate about what parts of AI are good and what parts are bad should wait until we solve the worldwide crisis caused by the fact that almost of all of its evangelists in both tech and govt are morally, intellectually, and ethically unequipped to oversee it, when not downright evil.

isn’t this the same argument christianists make: that their religious rights are oppressed when they cannot dictate what other people are allowed. argument from narcissism or something.

in the case of a gift article, they now have a connection gifter-giftee-platform-interest in their database. presumably these will be used to enrich some data broker database of people’s interests and connections. our dossiers within unregulated entities keep getting more comprehensive.

can you talk about what the *publication* gets from that email address, and how it gets monetized? the first thing i think is they will start sending you solicitations and statistically over time some percentage will buy a subscription. what else?

i’m old enough to have been on talk\.origins and the debating tactics of creationists and rationalists are essentially the same. the only point in engaging with either is to inform the public coming across the “debate” unprepared that these guys‘ arguments are full of shit in these specific ways.

yes, that’s pretty much what i think. i don’t think it’s necessarily all that sophisticated, but they certainly know that ramping up fear in the population tends to drown out any logical counter arguments.

I know you know but it is the sexiest movie plot threat device, it touches on so many cultural fears. It’s easy to dismiss if one is a person who mainly looks at the world through a factual, provable lens. But, alas. Remember the prophet Adlai Stevenson.

There's a sort of meta-point here, which is that, to be recognized as an "expert" in most institutional/social contexts, you have to adhere to an orthodoxy controlled by extremists. The industry is absolutely captured by people with no attachment to reality. That's a relatively new phenomenon.
