This kind of antifeminism is a socialism of fools, wherein working class resentment at exploitative elites is diverted into anger at feminized phantasms, like “HR.”

The more I use it, the more I think there's a stark difference between how good (for the user *and* for their society) the results are for someone skilled in using it versus someone who isn't.

So it kinda burns me up when people do the whole "haha imagine teaching AI-usage skills in school" thing.

Talking about how heists are inherently cool and sexy is really not helping you beat the “a core problem of our age is that too many people think movies are real” charges, tbh

Trump simply calculates percentages as the base two logarithmic difference to symmetrize returns, log2(10)-log2(600) ~= -600%, easy

I wonder if we're going to see another attempted coup next year

And a 1,000 member House of Representatives.

And 16 new Justices on the Supreme Court

If you like what happened in Virginia, you’re gonna love DC statehood

Trump more or less never getting challenged on hilarious lies to his face for 10 straight years is completely fucking intolerable

as it becomes clear that Yes has won in VA and gerrymandering will pass, a message to Republican voters:

you brought this on yourselves

you convinced the most fairness-obsessed, That Wouldn’t Be Fair-minded voters in the country to affirmatively vote to put you in the dumpster

you earned this

It's not an authentic mail merge unless it was done with human craftsmanship

This is a comedy that needs to be made

Prince John from Disney’s Robin Hood

He’s 100% the cartoon Disney villain everyone grew up seeing as pathetic

That seems easily as debatable as the counterfactual you rejected in your previous post. (But I do like the idea of that world, of course.)

The left ceded talk radio, then ceded social media strategy, then ceded algorithmic amplification, each time on the theory that the medium was beneath them or inherently corrupting. We cannot afford to keep doing this with AI because its bigger than all of them.

Oh, that bit about Jobs, not Cook

Wait, where is it said that he has health issues?

I am saving your posts (derogatory).

the two positions i hold simultaneously based on my mood

optimist: things can't continue in politics like this

doomer: things can't continue in politics like this

Looks like you’re no longer welcome at the gamer’s tavern 😢

as some others have said, i think one of the most analogous 'skills' that makes me able to effectively use ai tools is that i've been in positions managing or training other people. you really get the best results treating ai as a living thing that has imperfect ability and requires clear guidance.

Yeah, totally fair! We'll see!

I don't really feel much about the "no new product lines" thing — it doesn't seem very meaningful to me (it's pretty arbitrary and driven by marketing narratives rather than, say, revenue; and thus I don't think management should care much about it) but, yeah, we'll see if they ship good glasses!

I think there's some hope here that Apple, who's very privacy-focused (see Vision Pro not allowing eye tracking to general apps, for example), can come up with a way to make their glasses product not be a societal nightmare.

The Iranian team seeks to advance national interest, securing the regime and its geopolitical position.

The American team seeks headlines and photo-ops they can use as the basis for lies, at least until those lies become obviously untenable and they seek new ones.

The asymmetry gives Iran leverage

Remember like two weeks ago when the whole world spent the day counting down to whether he was gonna use nukes and/or otherwise kill tens of millions of people? Good times, fun presidency.

This. It's just negative polarization.

You're allowing the hype to form your opinions for you, which is just another way of going along with it.

if the presence of hype makes you completely unable to think about reality independent of the hype, that is not resisting hype, it is surrendering to it totally
