Is this all just "randomers reinvent property law from first principles"? Anyway, the tent is clearly maritime salvage.

Good thing someone has written up dozens of textbooks about how to use this black box natural language interface, this says a lot about your understanding of both your audience and your subject here.

Kinda enjoying all the shady HumbleBundle(/HB-clones) offering bundles of slop textbooks about how to use AI. Who is the target audience here? Do you think people who want to read deeply into subjects to fully understand it are going to be big AI fans?

There's a concept in economics of "housing services", which are provided by a house, which lets economists account for the ongoing value it produces. So I wonder, is there a dog equivalent of this? The value a dog provides to the world by simply being a dog?

I'm imagining they spend a lot of time checking out where the best puddles collect after heavy rain, and extensive group-chats about which pool lifeguards are most easily distracted.

We need more gritty urban fantasy about modern naiads in the city, their struggles to balance holding down a career, navigating rapidly changing social and cultural norms, and finding bodies of water in cities deep enough to drown annoying men in.

One of the comments on the announcement of LibreOffice 26.8 was a simple question: “So, no AI is now a feature?” LibreOffice does not reject artificial intelligence out of hand, but an office suite us...

I read somewhere that it's more accurate to think of human teeth as evolved from fish scales, rather than mammalian bones. I don't know if that's true, but here, have some free psychic damage.

I also know places we won't be found - e.g. anywhere other than where we actually are. Starting to think Taylor Swift didn't consult *any* mathematicians before writing these songs.

I wonder if there's a simple way to express this in terms of pragmatics? If the "intent" claim is really that LLMs model semantics but not pragmatics, because this type of algorithm doesn't model the concept of a speech act?

Personally, I'm against it.

- You did mention LLM coding. How big a team do you expect this to need? Are you prepared for the size of moderation team this is likely to need? (end) (Again, apologies if too many things, I hope this is constructive and helpful!)

- Accessibility is great, but I'd suggest going for "adhere to standards (e.g. WCAG)" alongside consulting disabled people, so you're not trying to reinvent this from first principles.

- You didn't mention advertising. Will there be advertising? If not, how will it be funded? What are the incentives for the platform operators, and can users be confident this has and sustainable business model and isn't going to enshittify later?

- Will users be anonymous? What will your approach to user privacy be? Is there E2E privacy, or more like everything public? - ...if it is private, have you considered the level of security you'll need to protect people?

- What will you do about deceptive or misleading content? How about disinformation, and misinformation? How about spam and commercial content - e.g. OnlyFans bots? - Similarly, what will your approach be to soliciting donations, e.g. Gaza fundraising accounts?

- "Follow laws" includes reporting dangerous/illegal content to law enforcement - do you have a policy for when you will report users? How will you do that internationally (e.g. Turkey's weird defamation laws), and will you need to know how to do that in every country?

Some suggestions, just my thoughts, apologies if overstepping: - Anything with private groups needs to be prepared for abuse by e.g. terrorist recruitment, cybercrime, grooming, CSAM. "Reduce harm" kinda covers that, I'm told "always consider how this could be abused up front" is a good principle?

Gloucester is wonderfully misty and quiet this morning, it's so peaceful and hardly anyone around - so wait, is this how extroverts feel all the time? What if "this public space has an appropriate amount of people and it isn't too loud" was just a baseline Outside experience??

It is time for leaves. I am a bear.
Bear comic, 4 panels.

2: bear by tree “it has been nice to be too warm”
3: bear at tree, dead leaves “but it is time for leaves”
4: bear at Sun, Sun is leaves “I am a bear.”

Possibly just me being old, but is it weird when people say they "got $thing", when they mean they subscribed to a service? Maybe this is just a thing with digital services, but it just feels weird?

I watched some interviews with her, and it's kind of wonderful how down to earth she is, and how weird the interviewers look trying to ask her about being a phenomenal genius when she's just like "I like playing chess, I guess"!

How about Ursula le Guin's "Solitude"? About a planet of extreme introverts, where women live in loose "auntrings" for mutual support, and men just kind of live wild. I'm sure she must have others too!

Technology doesn't just "go rogue", it carries out what it was designed to do subject to the safety controls built into it, anything else passes responsibility from the designer to a mechanism. Therefore, Wallace is wrong to say The Wrong Trousers have "gone wrong".
