Sorry there wasn’t anything incoherent about what he said. It’s not “crashing” an agent but he explains it well enough. This is just “using” agents but did he call himself an engineer?

I regret to inform you the strawman simplistic “end of history” came from outside reactions to the title (the title did provoke) and Mr. F himself made serious thought-out arguments

Gee I wonder why he doesn’t brag about New College where he was trustee (he knows about the accounting fraud and metrics collapse)

Really it’s like asking if the dog is conscious, or even better, if the dog is conscious like you and I are. The latter question is a confident yes from me - because I think humans aren’t really above the level of dogs mentally. Just better tool usage.

I mean, FDR was upper-upper-class and the New Deal undermined communists and Huey Long fascists

slander is verbal so you need to have some voice messages (assume you do)

I know people instinctively recoil at monocausal explanations and want important trends to have sufficiently weighty causes, but “We built a novel social environment that rewards anger and lurid pessimism and moved 95% of political discourse into it” is a pretty good explanation for a lot of stuff

Bill Gates is basically a creature of publicists who contributes nothing at this point. but, come on, he cheated on his wife is why she divorced him

Also the facts were so cold a temperament that was hotter would have distracted from just how bad this was

It’s about the truth, or if instead there is no truth, only power. If no truth only power, the reactionaries will definitely win.

It could be kind of strategic “if I were/I’d filter for” but counterpoint… - this is a bluecheck - hate speech protection explicitly dismantled - algorithms for social media always have rewarded hate clicks All of which are still bad, and 1 & 2 both credit to Elon

I get what you’re saying technically, but if in Claude you turn on the more verbose modes that shows internal ‘thinking’, you can see how it specificly course-corrects — starting by repeating and amplifying doubts. This happens all the time.

Florida essentially requires every business open to the public to have a bathroom open to the public. Actual good Florida law (generations ago)

“Florida” as the subject come on. There’s an election in 5 weeks and James Utihmeier, who was appointed by DeSantis and never won a statewide election (if any), decided to move on from harassing a tiny drag show in Vero Beach with the power of the Attorney General. That’s could be the story’s lead.

I mean, I tried to setup a small business in 2013 and it was a nightmare of forms and procedures. AI happens to be really good at keeping track of that

Yeah. Sharon was far more inflammatory before he became PM. He also withdrew the settlements from Gaza which was a big deal

From my experience living in China, they already think that China is going to return to its rightful historical place as the preeminent country on Earth, and all foreigners are just organized barbarians. So really not that mind-blowing for China

hilarious and insane article. full of the sorts of people you meet all the time in left activism, who combine neuroticism and narcissism to bring down any institution they're allowed into.

I think this objection is semantics of “programmed.” Maybe “engineered”? It’s pretty obvious how training and feedback methods resulted in the infamous style “you’re so right!”

That nothing has happened is good, and should be seen in the context of massive scrutiny “Vulnerability” is one thing, if it was a bug it’s possible no one would even know about it, especially of a far-down-ballot race.

I read the Globe and I was waiting for this mess to hit the TL today. There’s a far more interesting potential story about the mis/use of social justice and cultural trauma concepts to harass and manipulate but unfortunately I do think the author was going for “look at these crazy queers”

Take it from me, do what I do, get the tickets emailed and if you can’t, screenshot to camera roll as soon as you get them. I am literally a professional app developer.

Reading this excerpt, I’m losing my mind. The software work that AI is best at is both the most tedious and the most error-prone for humans. This is like lamenting the lost art of washing clothes on a washboard
