dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Love that Angela Paxton ad where she says "let's address the elephant in the room" and then doesn't do that at all (the elephant being that Ken Paxton repeatedly cheated on her, a state senator, and she also refused to recuse herself during his impeachment so the rest of TX Senate barred her) 110

dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 27/09/2026In some ways, this is the story of almost every diaspora kid who grows up normally, but ends up being radicalized into committing acts of terror or crimes against humanity. Someone is able to "hook" them because they never fully convinced themselves or made themselves disgusted by those beliefs. 000
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There are many Behind the Bastards episodes that drive this home. The most recent one on Radovan Karadzic about how he had many Muslim friends and a cosmopolitan lifestyle, but at some point he fell in politically with a faction of nationalists who glorified those Serbian war poems he grew up with. 100
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Perhaps when we're young adults, it's easy to discard our family's biases and views as silly. Then, at some point, you start looking for a strong identity. Many look towards ancestry, religion, etc, and it can be especially affirming when someone reifies those old beliefs your family held. 100

Their lobbyists argue for guardrails on AI development and usage in the EU, U.S., and Canada pretty frequently.

dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Maybe this is all passé to people who have read great works on semiotics or epistemology, but it must be at least somewhat suggestive that to understand language, to be able to ingest it and opine cogently, *is* no different than knowledge itself. 010
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It's like, ok, someone has just asked me my opinion on something in Spanish. I have understood that. Now to give my opinion... and nothing pops out. I don't (yet) have that "inner voice" in Spanish to guide me like I do in English. 100
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I'm sure everyone who has learned a second language knows this, but there's this experience of feeling dumb, REALLY dumb, when trying to converse in language that you're learning. It's not exactly the feeling of being unable to translate your thoughts, it's the feeling of having no thoughts at all. 100
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It's actually bizarre that a latent space of language, phrases and words broken down into a series of numbers, ends up replicating cognition so well. It suggests something deeper about language and what "doing language" is. 100
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 08/09/2026idk, I think clowning on Paul here is motivated reasoning because people don't like AI companies and find AI art cringe. LLMs are really cool architectures and they do actually have deep implications for what human language is actually doing 110

dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 27/08/2026It's like hiring Sandy Alderson. Obviously a legend, but maybe we should get someone who is more clearly coveted by modern, well-run orgs. 010
dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I'm not gonna say Brent Strom isn't a legend, but this move does give me the sense of being nostalgia. A sort of oldhead personnel hire instead of something more forward-looking #astros 150

dummy index @dummyindex.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Frankly, the settlement issue makes a two-state solution basically dead in the water. Repartition would be extraordinarily difficult, orders of magnitude more difficult than the original Gaza withdrawal. It would be on the scale of 1947 all over again. Israel made its own bed there. 200
