Private healthcare is class warfare. The wealthy receive platinum care. The middle class become indentured servants, relying on employers for their family's healthcare, while the poor are ignored, left to die, a warning to any who question the wisdom of the rich.

LLMs aren’t “neutral” by default — they’re products.
Products reflect the goals, risk tolerance, and incentives of the companies that build them.

I know some of you are fans of pelicans spashing in the water in 5 minutes before Sunset and the water giving off an orange hue. May I present to you: a humpback whale surfacing 5 minutes before sunset 😇

before you’re permitted to gamble, you should be forced to consider yourself as an old person spending your fading years blank-faced and shoveling your dwindling savings into a slot machine that’s decorated with sexy Looney Tunes characters.

Altman, and all these folks don't make predictions in order to predict the future, they make them to a) justify an overclocked corporate valuation, and b) argue for undoing regulations and receiving government support.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once:

- Things are going to get worse, no matter what

- The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today

“Surely the politics will remain peaceful if we swiftly force even huger swaths of the economy out of their identity-forming jobs at the same time”
also the machines HAVE been automating the dull and dangerous manual labour jobs for decades if not centuries?

this is why so many people and communities who used to do that work and identify with that work are no longer needed to, with the associated costs to their self-esteem and our politics
