Tech bros have a fundamental misunderstanding of what makes us human. They only desire "content" as a means to an end. We take our experiences with us when we go. They're treasures of a life lived. But they have nothing of their own to lay claim to. Experience is priceless. Content is worthless.

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

Meanwhile, at the Earl Scruggs music festival, they’re handing out the most fantastic fans to the overheated fans!

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

The Stoics were on to something with voluntarily discomfort. Not to get used to discomfort, but to learn to trust that you can handle discomfort. Today we seem to be leaning more and more towards Epicurianism, but without the will to work for it. And for most, those fon't go hand in hand.

I can’t think of a better illustration of the right/left divide than the contrast between OUR Max Miller and THEIR Max Miller.
A Dr. Seuss style crossroads with a young boy standing in front of a sign. Over the left road is the caption “combining garum with defrutum and asafoetida to make an authentic ancient Roman marinade” (referring to Tasting History’s Max Miller.) Over the right road is the caption “denying the allegations that you broke your two-year-old daughter’s collarbone” (referring to GOP Congressman Max Miller.)

It continues to fuck me up that we stay thinking about 9/11 but want to memory hole Covid so bad we're destroying the entire concept of public health in the US.
In the United States, there have been 103,436,829[3] confirmed cases of COVID-19 with 1,238,563[3] confirmed deaths, the most of any country, and the 17th highest per capita worldwide.[43] The COVID-19 pandemic ranks as the deadliest disaster in the country's history.[44] It was the third-leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2020, behind heart disease and cancer.[45] From 2019 to 2020, U.S. life expectancy dropped by three years for Hispanic and Latino Americans, 2.9 years for African Americans, and 1.2 years for White Americans.[46] In 2021, U.S. deaths due to COVID-19 rose,[47] and life expectancy fell.[48]

Machine learning algorithms are quite different from LLMs; people have been using them 40+ years, just to do data analytics. They have no sycophancy setting because they aren't natural language chatbots The conflation of machine learning generally with LLMs specifically is a PR strategy.

I live in a small town in NE Scotland close to where chunks of the #Odyssey was filmed. Nolan’s cast and crew were all lovely and spent money like water in our hard-up area. He even made sure our tiny cinemas got on-time release of it when we normally have to wait for big movies. Thanks Chris.

A real insect has 400 million years evolutionary motivation and instinct to survive and remain alive, while the robot one only has an algorithm which serves no purpose other than what its programmer instructed it to do, nothing more.

Sorry, I did what now?
In any other time, this persistent bit of American Exceptionalism might be excusable, even charming. But in a moment in which it seems not only increasingly impossible, but irresponsible, to ignore the deep flaws at the heart of the American project, this is exactly the choice that has been made by a certain brand of liberal public intellectual cum influencer in the Trump era. This cohort includes figures such as Jill Lepore, Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Joanne B. Freeman, and Kevin M. Kruse.
