I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

There is no reason for robots to be built like humans. You could design a robot that is perfectly capable of navigating a home and performing household tasks that isn't human shaped. I am convinced the only reason rich people want them to be is because they want to feel like they own a person.

The annoying thing about cable news political pundits is you can't just vote them away like politicians. They're just kinda there forever, no matter how wrong they keep being.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Wild to me how there are so many people with main character syndrome who actually live incredibly boring lives. I don't remember reading any stories where the main character is just some random dude who plays video games and shitposts all day.

I can't believe Microsoft ruined something as simple as notepad. It used to be a great barebones text editor. No unnecessary bloat, just the basics. Now when I accidentally open a text file in notepad it's like "ughh no."

I love when I get mail address to me "or current resident". It's just like "yeah we don't actually give a shit who receives this."

the endpoint of chatgpt and other llm chatbot interfaces is a cohort of people who don't really live so much as they are on a sort of guided tour of their own lives, who have more or less totally abdicated agency and responsibility in favor of a step by step template of how to pretend to be a person

When I say there shouldn't be billionaires, it's not a moral argument. Even if there was a benevolent billionaire, it still shouldn't be up to the whims of an individual which groups are worthy of receiving endowments for a number of reasons. A single person should not have that level of control.

AI guys who think there's a massive untapped market for "personalized movies" are the same dullards who sit there and explain their dreams to people while not picking up on them clearly not giving a single shit.

Apparently you can't walk out of the grocery store empty handed without being interrogated about why you didn't buy anything.

It's wild how, for my entire life, every single car commercial has basically been the exact same thing. Producing car commercials has got to be the easiest job in the world.

People are talking about Newsom as if it's the trolley problem, except the trolley isn't moving or even on the tracks yet. So the argument here is essentially "Ok but when we put the trolley on the tracks and start it..." Here's a simple and perfect solution: just don't do that! You don't have to!

I don't get tech enthusiasts who unconditionally love every piece of new technology. I can't think of any other enthusiast who behaves that way. In fact it's exactly the opposite. Music and movie lovers for example are not shy about saying "This sucks actually" when some garbage is released.

I don't think anyone is having genuine success on complex systems using AI for coding.
Everyone who is claiming that it works great is either at the early stage or green fields, or doing very simple tasks that are within the training data.
These things were always easy.
