This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read
Nothing lasts forever, and that includes the Roman Empire. 

The Fall of Rome-Scented Candle smells like cypress trees and red wine. Light it and watch the Roman forum melt into a puddle of wax while you quietly contemplate the impermanence of civilizations and/or candles.

Do you think individual Romans understood that their civilization was collapsing? Or did it happen so gradually that they were able to ignore the warning signs—international trade breaking down, the senate becoming a rubber stamp for the supreme leader, and political violence becoming expected during transfers of power?

It’s hard to say, because it’s impossible to imagine being in that kind of situation. In any event—hope you enjoy the candle!

In other words: If AI does one thing well, it's making explicit what «being human» means under current conditions. The answer cannot lie in a return to a supposedly universal humanism, but rather in a radical critique of these conditions that understands the role of AI systems in maintaining them 5/

This is exactly it. The concept of a LLM doesn't need to be mediated via an identity. It could just be clippy, or something closer to a print out. The current UI both makes C3P0 seem way closer than is actually the case and attempts to drive product uptake through hacking our desire to engage.

'Island of strangers' has the feel of Angela Smith and her 'funny tinge' remark - colourless seniorish ppl get wheeled out to say 'it's not racist to have a proper conversation' & God alone knows what authority they think they're bringing, but they just taint themselves.

seems about right: Nigel Farage is an agent of the post Tea Party US right. His populist rhetoric is just a means for establishing US power on British soil.
