They have come to the convention hoping to "break in" and then find themselves -- shocker! -- a "nobody in the book world." Yeah no shit! We all are!

OP thinks AI is conscious and should be allowed to vote but also wants to make it write emails and pick his wife’s Christmas present for eternity
it’s hard to think of a bigger grift than the claim that predictive text aka gAI is ‘conscious’ and thus “deserve rights” like the ability to vote

I want to destroy the notion that STEM, humanities and arts, are seperate units of knowledge and skill. And if you do one, you can't do other. I am a geologist, professional artist and trained in international relations. They all compliment each other.
Anyway. They spent the last decade telling us STEM degrees were the future and the Humanities were worthless then they spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build a glitchy Humanities robot.

Why is there all this money to go to Mars, but no money to fix all the amazing 19th century pipe organs that can no longer be played because they need hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs? We know how to fix organs. We don’t know how to colonize Mars. Let’s focus on what we know how to do.

Like how Nate Silver predicts elections
A type of practice that I find interesting historically is the rigorously untrue. Astrology, for instance, was often a very tightly defined practice with a seriously requirement of learning: it just wasn’t actually real.

tbh a lot of marketing right now comes off as contemptuous to vaguely menacing. A lot of “here’s your slop, idiots”
One of the pervasive themes in betting ads seems to be contempt for their audience.

Pretty sure living in a mansion in California has non-pecuniary value
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.
