The luck may be coming to an end. The last two have serious misuses. Crypto’s best killer apps thus far have been rug-pulls, evading governance of criminal financial activity and corruption. AGI would, today, be likely be called into service to tighten authoritarian grips.
I’m kind of shocked by how few are asking this question. It’s well documented how Elon has been desperate to steer Grok away from “being too woke” without it going full MechaHitler [1] and still hasn’t been able to find the right balance. Does this research point to a way he could get closer to that goal?
Do you follow anyone? If so, who? If not, you're in an edge-case for users who haven't yet started following anyone.
Follow people. Carefully curate who you follow. Your feed will be exactly what you pick. It's a lot like old-school Twitter before it went algorithmic.
I get up each day, the news gets more insane, I go to work, nobody mentions it. I keep wondering how insane things need to get before Midwest politeness decides to even acknowledge it.
I don’t think that’s fair. The move to x86 was a huge step up from the PowerPC G5s. That said, the move to the M1 was even bigger, so I can relate to the sentiment.
That was amusing. It felt like those AI ads that YouTube sometimes feeds me, where a perpetual preamble promises to have a point and to get to it, which might have something to do with toe fungus or restoring virility but you’ll never know because the actual point is to lull you into a trance-like state of perfect thoughtlessness.
My iPhone 11 Pro is the green one from that year. Still a great phone, although I can feel that it's seriously memory constrained. I'm finally ready to upgrade.
I've heard it expressed as "the last good thing on the internet" many times, but it never occurred to me to interpret that to mean it has attained perfection in some regard. I always took it to mean that it has thus far evaded the enshitification trends.
A staged "carjacking" that the police got lucky enough to "stumble upon" — the "victim" of which just so happened to be the DOGE employee known as "Big Balls" — isn't enough justification for the presence of the National Guard for you?
I would say yes, insofar as the text and SCOTUS interpretations of the constitution count as law, so anything that violates, for example, the separation of powers would be illegal.
Interesting to compare this narrative to "A history of 'wokeness'". (Specifically, it's interesting that the "origins" seem to have very little to do with the history.)
The phrase "in many ways" is doing a lot of lifting. I wonder: what ways? What details need to be ignored in order for the rest of the sentence to seem plausible?
