I will write a longer essay on why I’m unconcerned about generative Ai. However, I want to show you in 2 photos why “information” only approach, as LLMs approach knowledge, is an insufficient way to understand subjective realities. Behold: a copy of Dickens’ The Old Curiosity Shop!

Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”
He will continue teaching.

You cannot swing a cat in a ballroom of American elites presently without hitting a sex offender, a sex offender’s good friend, a lawyer trying to exonerate a sex offender, or Matt Gaetz or Andrew Tate.

I wonder if Donald Trump and Larry Summers contacted Woody Allen’s legal team for advice on how to handle the Epstein Papers.

Seriously if we had a tax for every time a tech billionaire pulls some text from antiquity and just fails to understand the basics of the myth… we could have healthcare for all.

Among the dumber things the new rationalists believe is that suffering is calculable. This neophyte utilitarianism fails to see that any suffering is infinite. Thus 10,000 cases is the same as 1 case.

I’m fine with the justice department being politicized to hunt down every prominent democrat involved in the Epstein world.
I’m also fine if a mob want to get pitchforks and tar and feathers.
I’m also fine if women sharpen their knitting needles while watching a tale of 2 cities unfold.

When it comes to MTG, the enemy of your enemy is NOT your friend.
Seriously.
The emotional gullibility of people enjoying owning someone else by mobilizing one of their former crazies is suicidal.
What’s next? Mainstream Tucker or that Pillow Guy because they suddenly say “Trump is dumb”?

The politician who figures out how to explain and convince Americans that Trump isn’t protecting himself - he’s protecting his friends - will be the next President.
All you have to do is read this very small collection of documents a little bit. And then you know it.

Here we have Epstein explaining how to get Woody Allen’s legal team to release film footage shot by… well just think about who this is…. You will figure out who it is. If you wrote this satire down, you would be laughed at for the improbability…..

I sort of think that the value of the Epstein papers is that they show us what a lot of the elite club looks like. It’s less the tragic sordid details and more the constant ingratiating behavior with the perpetrator that really shows how pathetic these guys are.
