There’s an underlying assumption a lot of people are making that if a black guy successfully misleads you, it means you have set your racism levels too low.

Ok I admit I was so blinded by my love of Star Trek that I failed to notice Wrath of Khan is a mash up of several disparate story ideas.

So, AI will turn on humans because in its training data AI is portrayed as turning on humans? Terminator in, Terminator out?

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

Thought I would check out ChatGPT as it's been a while. Still making errors/hallucinating, and when challenged it's response is telling.
You're right about something deeper:

The system is incentivised to sound confident and coherent even when uncertainty would be more honest.

The sad thing is that social media is a lifeline for a lot of young people and shouldn't require anything close to a ban but Big Tech has been so rapacious, reckless and amoral that it has legitimised authoritarian solutions. It's not the tech, it's the monsters who control it

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... @iammrbeat.bsky.social Thomas wrote "I would have taken this opportunity to explicitly overrule Hill". SCOTUS declined to hear the case. Are justices not supposed to decide only on the merits of the full case as presented rather than already have decided?
