The edginess was, at the core of it, what made them fun in the first place

You're right, you just can't make memories without injecting ink into your skin.

Right, which tells us that what was fun about it was feeling cool for doing something unusual.

> Progress in AI is happening faster than ever before

Is it happening faster than it was six months ago? a year ago?

Yeah, and definitely not AITok

That's interesting, but how many people are actually going to just scroll and watch these (thereby generating ad revenue)?

If it's ad-supported or I'm seeking donations, I only want people reading it on my website. Why would I want people to access it through an LLM?

His notes, of course, were assembled by his producers, based on the notes & writing of those academics (and others, I'm sure, thus the weekly reading list). He sometimes made reference to this, saying things like "Well you said it in your notes; what did you mean?"

A nontrivial plot point in Kim Stanley Robinson's "Green Mars" (1993)

There are still paleontologists [who?](I do not know; I'm sorry) who would like to substantially credit the Deccan Traps; this appears to be adding stronger analysis to the evidence that it really was the meteor impact.

Degrowth and "Maybe this uses too much electricity" are not the same thing, particularly when a nontrivial portion of US generation is fossil-fuel based.

As for the breakthroughs, maybe they will, maybe they won't; it's not much of an argument.

> I cynically think this was OpenAI’s aim when they made ChatGPT free for students

Is there any interpretation that makes sense _other_ than this?

Do they not use saws?

How does it identify what's vague?

Or we could acknowledge that something could be a bad idea, despite its utility

You may have missed that Idiocracy is a pro-eugenics film, in which the populace got stupider by way of being fecund. It's not about this problem, really.

You're right that last time there were "adults in the room" trying to keep him in check.

This time, however, he's often doing whatever Heritage/Project 2025 tell him to do. Russell Vought, Stephen Miller, John McEntee, etc.

Surely, since "silent disco" only really works if everyone is dancing to the same music (which is the only thing that would make sense for a post about synchronizing audio), they're using "source" to mean "device"

They don't have a functional physical product

His overall point, that it happened later, after different technological innovations, and required government regulation is correct though

> Of course, this image is only possible because of our vantage point. Astronomers in other galaxies wouldn't catch such a wondrous image.

Well no, but they probably would catch other wondrous images we can't catch due to our vantage point.

Would you believe that humans turn on traditional web-crawlers as well?

Yeah, this plus the apparent lack-of-planning regarding lenses & field of view make me wonder if OP had any of the background they should have had in stop-motion animation?

Were we ever doing that though?

This interpretation is covered in the essay.

Why do you want to do that?

You've misunderstood what they're asking for. They're asking for Home Assistant hardware (microphone, speaker, wifi) that, instead of being a standalone box taking up space on the counter/table/etc, fits into the hole in the hall where they currently have a lightswitch.

I wonder why

They don't work all that well compared to an open river.
