We are trying, but our system of government is specifically designed to make improving things somewhat as difficult as possible. The guys who wrote the Constitution were not nearly as smart as they thought they were.

Seems to me that the statement “AIs are conscious” would be the one that requires extraordinary evidence, though.

I can think of less appealing podcasts than this one. But that’s literally the best thing I can say about it.

I don't know if you're considering using that as your official author photo, but I really think you should.

Do good reviews and high ratings sell books? Probably! If you read and enjoyed THE SHITBIRD, please take a moment to rate and/ or review it at Amazon, Goodreads, or elsewhere. It won’t take long, and it does help with visibility. Thank you so much! 🙏

John really telling on himself with this couplet: "The culture on X today is remarkably friendly and inclusive. It is a cheerful place."

If you can't see the politics on X (or any other site, for that matter), it's because you agree with them. But not just that: you find them to be so unremarkable that they don't even rise to the level of "politics" for you.

Voters are split on whether or not to save Bay Area public transit
Only 48% of respondents said they would vote for the tax measure.

Socrates said the unexamined life isn't just bad—it's not worth living. That's why I developed PlatoGPT. Everyone deserves a rich inner life of introspection and interrogation, but who has time for that boring self-reflection?👎😴 Now for a mere $40 a month PlatoGPT will self-reflect for you!

LLMs do not have opinions to poll. They don’t actually know anything, nor do they think things. This is just an exercise in probabilistic text generation.

Nobody who understands, even at a very broad level, how LLMs work would think to even try this.

turns out GM was right, Americans piss and moan that there aren’t any cheap EVs but they will not buy them if you make one www.motortrend.com/news/2027-ch...

Owners of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt May Be in Rare Company
GM may build only about 35,000 examples of the 2027 Chevrolet Bolt before ending production, making America’s most affordable EV also a somewhat rare one-year-only model.

Just saw someone say their AI runs their fantasy football team and I can’t stop laughing. Like, I’m sure everyone’s doing it or something but it’s very funny to me that pretending to be a team manager was so hard that you needed to pretend to pretend to be a team manager

Slow Horses shoots two seasons at a time. The next season is in the can before the current season airs its first episode. There’s no excuse for these interminably long gaps.

You know, I was really into the show and still think the concept and execution are terrific, but at this point, after waiting all this time, I honestly don’t think I care if we ever get another season of Severance or not.
