Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The only real example is the ban on patents for nuclear weapons, but that's not because we want everyone to have them, it's because we don't want lawsuits over highly classified technology. 040
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I wrote a paper on that in law school. That is possible in the U.S., but it almost never happens, because they're worried it would cause chaos. And yeah, probably also because of lobbying, but the chaos is a real concern. 130

Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Is that why I've seen a lot of posts from this person? Does he reskeet her? I'm trying to figure out why the name is so familiar. I've never noticed anything extreme from her in the past, so maybe I've been getting a filtered version. 210
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Mind you, it shouldn't be this hard to discern whether the President is suggesting that LA should get nuked. I don't blame anybody for interpreting it the other way. 0161
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This clip makes me even more sure that you (and I) were right the first time. He's not saying that they can bomb LA . He says that if that happened, the country would be "in freefall." He's trying to say that his Iran war prevented LA from getting bombed. He's just a spectacularly bad speaker. 1110

Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Unlike a lot of people here, I don't think being a billionaire is evil in itself. If you earned it, you should get to keep it. However, if we live in a world where it is cost-effective to spend $100M of your own money campaigning to lower your own taxes, something has gone really, really wrong. 880
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Trump understands what a vegan is. He's just expressing it poorly because he's a terrible speaker. That's not the problem. The problem is (a) he's mispronouncing it, and (b) more importantly, Talarico is not and has never been a vegan, and nobody seems to care that Trump is just making it up. 230
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Wait, is this that movie that Danny Trejo and those other names were attached to? I was willing to give them a pass when I thought it was just a generally pro-ICE movie, but if they're trying to make Renee Good into a villain, that's unconscionable. 2331

Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Aaron sometimes takes Trump's quotes out of context, so I was skeptical of this one, but I watched the whole video and the quote is accurate. Maybe it's a racist joke about immigrants climbing over his (mostly imaginary) border wall? 110

Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 29/09/2026but you can see that it generates the first word in seconds, and continues from there. It writes the story from beginning to end, when it couldn't possibly know where the story is going. That shouldn't be possible, and it isn't really possible, but it's an incredible trick. 111
Kaphka @kaphka.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I've started experimenting with LLMs recently. One thing that amazes me: You can tell it to write a short story, and it will come with a whole story, with (usually) a coherent plot. It takes a few minutes to generate the whole story... 110
