Requires a fully funded and staffed public postal service in a county that’s dismantling, privatizing, and outsourcing core components of public sector package shipping

The Battle of Algiers

Going to gouge all the midstream businesses in the long run. Hardware retailers, PC assemblers, all those little companies selling custom cases and overclock kits and fancy cooling appliances.

The lack of cheap but crucial components will have some ugly coat tails for the rest of the industry.

I don’t think they actually care. It’s just something they can get mad at

If you really want to scare a German with Santa Claus, tell them he’s Turkish.

Humans caused ALL of this!

A handful of humans with deep roots in the financial sector and the government contracting space.

AI popping won’t change this. These losers will still be in charge in every way that matters.

I gotta say, the folks putting up the “Put The Christ Back In Christmas” signs during the holiday season are some of the least festive and most Grinchy on the block.

Kingdom Hearts After Dark

Germany not calling them “feet fingers” was unexpected.

AI is more likely to generate code that’s hard to follow and therefore harder to check.

Sure. It’s making the errors faster and at a far higher volume than any team of humans could do in twice the time. The technology behind inference is literally an iterative process of turning gibberish into something that resembles human text. So its sort of a speed run from baby babble into college level software design by trial, evaluation, and correction over and over and over again.

But because the baseline comparison code is, itself, full of errors, the estimation you get at the end of the process is going to be scattering errant semicolons (and far more esoteric coding errors) through the body of the program at a frequency equivalent to humans making similar errors over a much longer timeline.

Kinda. It’s a novel technology and one that hasn’t been well analyzed or exhaustively tested.

A computer is a machine that makes human errors at the speed of electricity.

Epstein was a major bundler and influencer in the liberal establishment, specifically within the US East Coast and the EU West Coast regions. Chompsky was also in this circle of influential political and media figures. Its not crazy that they’d run into each other any more than Epstein hobnobbing with any other Ivy League professors or national media figures or British Royals.

did the book sales for manufacturing consent get him that fucking rich?

More that knowing a guy like Epstein is what gets you regularly syndicated in news columns and invited as a guest onto TV shows. You could say the same about Larry Summers or Steven Pinker.

The two guys calling you a “Tankie” in the comments.

All odd numbers are divisible by 2.

You just get a decimal in the quotient.

CEOs are probably hedging on LLMs adapting faster to scammers then video versa

Racing towards the Singularity, a thing that is definitely real and exists and is achievable in our lifetimes.

We are reaching a convergence of accuracy, and once a critical mass of investors realize it, this whole thing implodes.

Industrial dinosaurs have a way of sticking around in strict defiance of market forces. The O&G industry is a great example. They’ve been able to outrun more efficient and cost-effective methods of production and application of energy for decades, in large part thanks to lobbyist-lead state investments in long-term infrastructure and buying out / shutting down of competitors.

I do think the AI boom is facing bigger headwinds than the automotive or airline industries, in large part due to their bloated balance sheets and highly speculative asset prices. But in the same way the big 2008-era investment banks were saved by a multi-trillion dollar bailout from the Fed and the Treasury, I have no doubt Silicon Valley is simply Too Big To Fail in the long run.

Excited for the next edition of liberal pogroms against people using the wrong kind of social media.

How’d that work out for your boy Biden, again?
