Lucky enough to have lived at the intersection of economics, TCP/IP networking, and mathematical modeling. It's interesting and helps stave off the ennui. Firmly believe that the modern conservative movement is best understood via grifting and short cons.

The problem with Longwell's theory is that the two parties are dividing based on rank stupidity and the messaging / outreach strategies that work well for the Republican base don't necessarily work well for the Dems. People like to talk about the "horseshoe". It's simply a different dimension.

For me, it was the animated version of the Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow. I grew up in the Hudson valley and walking the dark gold course behind my house on cold October nights was truly scary.

Not sure if you're looked at this in particular flavor of Safety, but Nancy Levenson at MIT has done some really good work of System Safety and Resilience. It's one of the frameworks that we use where I work (Akamai). If you google her name + STAMP there's a lot of stuff available.

I call it treason, because, after all, the Russians are providing aid and comfort to Iran. And I am perfectly happy to see Kushner and Witkoff in front of a firing squad in a few years time (though I would prefer to see a guillotine used for the symbolism)

I think that this is a good article, however, I think that it misses one big point: The types of safety regimes that we see with nuclear power plants and the like are completely missing in almost all other "tech" companies. This requires a radical restructuring of tech and not just AI.

@diane.dianeduane.com Tomato garum. Triple concentrated tomato paste, shio koji, water, salt. Cooked it for three days at 140. Now separating the liquid from the solids. I might break down and toss in some pectinase and centrifuge it. But we’ll see what the yield is like tomorrow.

I consider this a good first step, however, I agree with other posters that the scope of what is being described here www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releas.... is much too limited. I think that the US needs much strong data privacy protections addressing perv glasses, home appliances and the like.

From my perspective, a whole bunch of this isn't so much about the "AI Builders" but rather that software developers in general are really really bad about security. In theory, it should be possible to keep the AI locked up in a very small box. In practice, it could get access to nukes or CRISPR

There was a Buffy episode where she was working in a fast food joint. I really loved that episode up until the point when it was revealed that a demon was behind all mind numbing drudgery and people disappearing and ... I thought it it would have been much improved if the big reveal was "life"

I know lots of folks in New York. All of them knew Trump for just what he is / was. New York didn't inflict Trump on the world. It was all those mouth breathing idiots in Middle America who fell for his bullshit hook, line, and sinker. You know, the rubes that Sara is always valorizing...

I think that a comparison of "fast zombies" versus "slow zombies" would be a prototypical example. Zombies that are summoned via a mystic ritual versus some communicable disease would also seem like a useful axis of comparison.

I wish that they'd swing for the fences and rename Trump to something more appropriate. "Daughter Fucker" has a nice ring to it. I'd love to see Carney giving a speech in which he explained that the Canadians were actively encouraging de-dollarization to teach Daughter Fucker a lesson.
