In retrospect, Aronofsky's Pi (1998) actually shows an *optimistic* perspective on humankind's ability to cope with the mysteries of mathematics and advanced technology.

It's so transparent that Fortune and other tech press are still doing the brilliant young college dropout shtick after all these years. This guy was recruited to and funded by OpenAI execs at one of the OpenAI spinoff companies, and which is the inception point of his AI assistant startup.

Yet more proof that “superintelligence” has always been a supremacist framing (aside from the eugenics origins and actual eugenicists pushing both this term and “artificial general intelligence” throughout their lifespans)

Do not for a second believe that coding agents are secure and not subject to this same abuse vector. They are.

Doxxing as a Service: "In one case, Muse unmasked a person whose name had been kept out of news reports for fear of retaliation and harassment. In another, it tied several pseudonymous accounts to the same person. It also matched a private Instagram account to a real person..."

It's just on the other side of warm that I feel the need to turn the AC back on. It doesn't help we ran the oven for hours either.

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell JVP) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

The Rs are doing a full-spectrum assault on the existence of anyone not cis and straight, and saying it is about "boys playing girls sports". And every D who looks at that and goes "yeah, I oppose boys in girls sports" is endorsing the effort. Because they're affirming "sports" is all the Rs did.

When a company uses "democratizing" they really just mean "de-skilling".

Claude making a scientific discovery

Black-and-white three-part comic. In the first scene, one simple cartoon figure holds out a small round handmade-looking object and says, “I MADE THIS.” Another figure replies, “YOU MADE THIS?” In the second scene, the second figure is shown alone holding the object. In the final scene, that figure holds it proudly and says, “I MADE THIS”

I think software engineering has been in a crisis since at least when Facebook facilitated a genocide and there wasn’t any meaningful change to the formalized ethical practices of the industry as a whole

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation
