I don’t understand how anyone can be pro-AI when, in this moment, the term AI is a catch-all for a future constructed by rapacious corporations run by people we all hate, whose core products we all agree have gotten worse. Maybe AI will eventually be a beneficial, but not under these conditions.

There’s a reason Dubai is the haven for affluent selfish people. Cultural history and diversity is not something to nourish but instead filter out of view so certain people can enjoy a walled off homogeneous existence with others in the same tier of hierarchy

Appetite for Destruction is the most overrated album of the 1980s

This has always been something no coding agent booster has ever been able to explain. If these tools are highly proficient at coding then wouldn’t it mean hackers can increase their effectiveness at scale? If they aren’t this good at coding then isn’t that also a huge security risk?

That his surge is almost entirely Swalwell defectors doesn't help the Becerra appeal. If they're such savvy politics-knowers then why were they easy marks in the first place?

Rob Dibble would never! Seriously though, this is cool as shit and an example of doing something tangible just because you can.

It's insane how, even among those who use AI casually/moderately to do actual work, it's accepted 1) the major tech platforms are horrible and hurting society 2) those companies are run by evil people and 3) the tech is "inevitable" and consumers will somehow cause them (how?) to make it better.

If you read this as Bari speaking only for herself, replacing the "we/us/they" with "me/I/myself" then it makes perfect sense.

If you think unlocking creativity is a question of scale you are not qualified to speak on the subject.

So poetic the answer made possible by the hardware from the world's most valuable company is totally wrong based on the technology that made said company the most valuable.

This is a very odd way to show your side is the “virtuous” one who “represents goodness.” “Ah you see, we are forces for love and goodness. Now allow me to berate, demean, and dehumanize anyone who disagrees with me”

If your plan is to paint the Democrats as America's Hamas then you need way better cards than what this admin has. They drew pocket twos and are pushing their chips in the middle before the flop has even come.

The reason affluent media people are such suckers for “civility” is that the actual content of most politics has no real stakes for them personally. If you want to find these people’s true political feelings, mess with their money.

This is so insightful and also BLEAK. People over 30 who aren't already marinating in internet sludge all day do not understand the perpetual motion machine of meme <=> IRL actions <=> escalating memes <=> escalating actions.

We already did this bullshit with Alan Colmes 25 years ago and look what good it did. It legitimized Hannity as the preeminent right wing kingmaker and Colmes was eventually demoted to part-time pundit while Fox grew into a Borg of racism and hate.

I think much like how kids decided to become punk rockers or greasers because it alienated their parents' generations, we need to reckon with how being Fascist in college serves the same purpose. Affectations that inform an ideology.

I was just in London for 9 days and it sounds pretty great if NYC quadrupled its park space and bike lane/path capacity.

Without any social programs for universal health care, paid family leave, and child care any incentivizes you throw at juicing birth rates are de facto incentives to remove women from the workforce.

Giving Rogan any credit implicitly excuses him for platforming all the racist charlatans who exaggerated the immigration crisis in the first place. He hasn't earned any of it.

This premise is also completely false. Andressen Horowitz has cornered the market on redefining what a "successful" company is specifically to avoid the scenario he outlines for as long as possible.

People like Casey operate on the base assumption that the smartest people are all in Silicon Valley and therefore talking to anyone outside of there is superfluous. It ignores the many researchers in academia who have been studying this for DECADES and are far more skeptical of AGI's inevitability
