re: roblox dude's interview crashout. the thing he wants to say but can't is "at scale, kids are gonna get hurt. that is the price for scale." the thing nobody wants to say out loud is "maybe scaling to a level where harm isn't manageable is bad, and scale should be contained"

Is CATO woke now? I’m losing the plot.
ICE says I cause assaults on ICE by reciting facts about ICE’s recent shooting but refuses to link to the thread. Only posting a picture. ICE lies and ICE hides. You can read the facts for yourselves

There are many versions of this kind of image out there. The best ones illustrate why “better cars” will never be more than part of the answer, and actually help “lock in” the #CarDependency that’s the real problem. They also show why status-quo interests usually want to focus on the vehicles.

People need a safe space to change their minds. Nobody changes their minds while being attacked. This has been studied (a.co/d/fxpTFrJ) That being said, I think Oliver and others work is meant to be praised by the choir. It gives the faithful some sense of community.

Sometimes ideologies scream out loud.
For example, when people with power call a street like the one pictured here "closed," and only call it "open" when everyone has to keep out so this public space can be clogged by the property of convenience-seeking car owners.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Pero es cierto que un interlocutor honesto va a declarar en la conversación si tiene dudas sobre lo que recuerda. Y eso no es algo que nunca haya visto hacer al LLM. En ese sentido es un interlocutor inválido y tengo que castigar lo que creo que aprendí conversando con él.
