The constant issue with these sorts of categorization efforts is that the outcome is entirely dependent on how the responses to "politically charged questions" are graded as left vs. right. You're mostly just examining a delta in biases between the model and the investigator.

Capitalism has effectively destroyed the idea of organic community, again, so that a handful of awful people can have unimaginable wealth. The problem is millions of people have been raised in a bubble built on the assumption that this is a good thing.

Krugman continues to be late to the party, but at least he's put thought into it this time.

The vaults were accessed years ago

The current default for lazy enterprise customers seems to be an unholy tangle of Active Directory, Entra, and Okta. If you use all three it's 3x more secure, right?

What if you're needed at the end of the meeting but not the beginning?

Two degrees with practically zero education in the liberal arts, humanities, or philosophy. You're missing a big chunk there.

Black and white text is very readable, and text-based news is very useful. I don't think the NYT will see huge success trying to reinvent itself as a YouTube channel.

It seems strange to assume that you can even put a number on it. What's frivolous to you may be extremely important to another person.

Gosh I hope he's alright, it would be such a shame if something bad happened to him.

Played for several minutes, it's fun!

I could, yes.

Your post is a good description of how journalism has operated for hundreds of years. Maybe we're seeing that the twentieth century was just a (positive) blip and now we're regressing to the mean.

They're all actually a pile of numbers getting multiplied against each other to sometimes produce output that convinces some humans they're people.

"Guidance" that's often wrong and that will change if I ask a follow-up question? Wow where can I send my money??

Can't wait to register for this!

A docker container that can be reached by the bot is not air-gapped. Words mean things.

All that Zuck, Altman, Musk, etc do is give money to people

They're relevant in the sense that all of their products are 100% silly junk compared to the rest of the market, which is about 80% silly junk.

> This is just trash talk.

Trash talk is Musk's entire M.O., so that seems like a good way to proceed in 2026.

> Also: ageism isn't sexy.

Typical boomer needing things to be based on sex all the time.

The answer to institutional collapse, the topic of the post to which I replied.

All it takes is for the engineer in charge to be degenerate and the others willing to go along with it, that's how you get a Meta, etc

You don't seem to grasp that the answer isn't "oh well, Western democracies were just going to fail I guess"

It's not even useful for that, it's controlled by those same institutions now.

Those are perhaps the biggest social problems that humanity has ever faced.

They explicitly built cryptocurrency as a way to hoard more wealth. It was the "engineers" not just the money people.

Yes, that is a large percentage.

This is actually mostly impossible these days, there is no "head unit" like cars had a couple decades ago, and the infotainment systems are integrated with all the other computer systems in the car. Disabling anything is difficult and will affect the car's functionality.

> What is it about these companies that want to commoditize everything?

A German philosopher had a lot to say about this a couple hundred years ago... I think his name was Karl.
