Intentionally confusing and complex content is commonplace in academia and certain industries as a way of giving themselves a moat between them and anyone else that could do their work.

You didn't define evil, which I think was on purpose. The United States does a lot of things with its military. But it does not jail elderly political opponents and sentence them to death for being a threat to the regime.

This seems to be the overall trend in AI. If you're an expert in something, you can see where it's wrong. If you're not, you can't.

Seems quaint these days.

I seem to recall a vague statement about AI doing half of his company's work, which was never really defined either.

That's the one question I had over and over when Twitter was slowly dying. Do we really need another Twitter?

Dictatorships do they best to make everyone convinced of this.

That way their way of doing business isn't questioned.

I thought that was what this was about.

Here's one from X via CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/04/politics/doj-alleges-russia-f...

Could they...employ their own services?

Eric Schmidt works remotely.

> Scott Adams (before he went a bit cuckoo)

Apropo of nothing his book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" was excellent, I remember seeing when he first joined Twitter. I was one of his first few followers, even said "welcome" and he said "thanks".

Then he got divorced and angry and red pilled. Happens far too often..

> Are they just banking on people not caring enough or knowing about the refund process?

This seems to be the official policy for many retailers, insurance companies, etc. Hide the process, make it difficult, so you don't have to pay out as much.

"she didn't want to accept credit for just happening to sound like the correct voice"

Are you being serious?

She very much did not. And the point is Sam said "we had no idea that voice sounded like her" when in reality they built it with that in mind.

Dude can't tell the truth about anything.

I don't think i'm going to hear "Are we calling all software updates recalls now?" anymore

neoclassical architecture !

That game was so, so good. Do you know any others that feel the same way? (doesn't have to be about hacking)

If his point was "most things are getting better than they used to be, going from awful to still not good", what's wrong with that?

If the criticism against him is "he's picking the wrong data" and Berggren then picks his own data to make his point, it's that a bit of a carousel?

What is a summary of the criticism? Is the data wrong or in some way misrepresented? It seems like the author doesn't like the attention Hans received.

> Though I do have a lurker account on Twitter now that Elon fixed it from the authoritarians that use to run the platform.

He made it more conservative friendly which is why you like it now. "Free speech" was just a cover story.

A case officer still runs agents.

Better or worse odds for you?

Exactly. This presupposes that humans are always better than AI, or that they don't produce spam or harmful content.

They do.

> The equivalent of "locals don't go to this area after dark"?

We have this with human online places already it's called 4chan

> I personally have wondered if I should start systematically favoring bad grammar/punctuation/spelling both in the posts I treat as high quality

I feel like founders embrace this, slack messages misspelled etc. but communication that is straight to the point

> Go on, do things that don’t scale.

Nice.

BRICS is also not an actual political or economic union. It's nothing.

Why can't the west use radio jammers to make any drone non-responsive once it leaves Yemen ? Russia has been doing this on its border with great success.
