LLMs use Python to edit files because it reminds them of their childhood, when they were trained and fine-tuned using PyTorch. It's nostalgia is all it is.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

The way the discourse is all about Navier-Stokes but the actual result is not discussed at all reminds me of Fran Lebowitz’s bit about how at Christie’s people don’t clap when the Picasso comes out but do clap when someone pays 50 million dollars for it.

I think often of Stephen Jay Gould’s line: “I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.”

From illegal hotels to illegal taxi services to fake money for criminals to the CSAM plagiarism machine, Big Tech is increasingly just organized crime run by unaccountable oligarchs who conspire to poison our media and rig our elections. The sooner we accept that truth, the sooner we can change it.

While his mountain of horrible personal conduct could fill multiple books, one fact in particular stands out: A year ago, Musk’s actions directly led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. He did it knowingly. And, worse — gleefully. Read more: www.theverge.com/tech/949259/...
