okay, that's pretty good
Except from a Wikipedia article:
During the 2001 Microsoft antitrust case, the names MICROS~1 and MICROS~2 were humorously used to refer to the companies that might exist after a proposed split of Microsoft.

Screenshot of "The Everett Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics", which contains Figure G.1, Everett's own notes on DeWitt and Graham's attempts to interpret the interpretation. He has annotated their claim that Everett's work is "too brief to be entirely satisfying" with the private rejoinder "Only to you!"

[OpenAI, LLMs] llms are stochastic text generators (that can stay coherent over large scales). That llms can perform exploits is not new. OpenAI hacking huggingface today does not indicate GenAI, RSI, sapience, anything. What it does indicate is OpenAI is in the habit of live-fire testing […]

This point needs to be made over and again: The main purpose of wealth taxes should not be to raise revenue. That's a small and secondary benefit. The main purpose should be to *reduce the fortunes of the ultrarich*. Why? Because those fortunes present a massive threat to democracy and public life.
