Getting really tired being told I have to choose between the Borg and the Daleks.
Perhaps your canary is Palestinians, but another Islamic state setup by the likes of Hamas which ends up sponsoring international terror isn’t a move forward. Perhaps your canary is billionaires, but more billionaires aren’t proof the economy is healthy.
I think it’s inevitable that some issue or population will be taken as a ‘canary in the coal mine.’ But you can become so obsessed with saving the canary that its purpose as the canary in your argument is no longer relevant. Just saving the canary doesn’t prove you’ve made the mine safe.

Israel is not the most important issue in the world. A successful Palestinian state isn’t ’the key’ which will unlock a new world and set off a domino effect that ends the existence of billionaires. And anyway, the problem isn’t that billionaires exist, but how most of them became billionaires.

It’s hard to combat the this problem when the opposition is vehemently divided over issues such as the Israeli/Palestinian conflict that ultimately are more symbolic than anything. Trump is obviously not some super brilliant strategist, we are just that much of a mess.
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

A horrific terrorist attack at Bondi Beach targeting Jewish Australians celebrating Hanukkah. My heart is with the victims, their families and the entire Jewish community. We must stand against antisemitism and hate in all forms.

Gun violence touches everyone. This is NOT the price of freedom. I’ll keep fighting for sensible gun laws, because we all deserve better.

The designers of AI believe that their model is sound and the only hurdle for them is access to any and all data. I don’t think we’ve seen much evidence that the model is sound.
It's hard to overstate how impossible this demand is from Purdue's administration to implement these AI requirements by next fall. We are nowhere close to understanding what AI proficiency means or what it looks like in education.

I was born in July, and whenever I encountered a kid born during this time of year I always had a lot of questions.
Imagine being born during the Christmas season and having to grow up competing with baby Jesus.

For all the cars to communicate with each other some standard language would have to be adopted. It’s difficult to implement a standard when there isn’t widespread usage, and without one, it’s difficult to make a convincing pitch sell them.
Self driving car advocates make some pretty large claims based on exceedingly small samples, and while I believe that with universal usage it’s possible a hive data model might dramatically decrease fatalities. As with every social engineering project, the question is, how do we get there from here?

Casual reminder that some models theorize the human brain creates structures that represent up to 11 dimensions. Fairly certain even the most powerful data center around is still doing 2D-3D computations, just very fast.
The industry aims to build a superintelligence by assimilating unthinkable volumes of data dating to the dawn of the written word, yet apparently tweaking the models to account for separate regulations across several states is a level of complexity that would paralyze the whole project...
The president signed an executive order aimed to crimp state AI laws.

My experience from a compensation perspective basically just represented a title change. And it was DIFFICULT. Going from the penthouse to living in an apartment I could see as almost being un-process-able. Like, these folks would legit need THERAPY.
I’ve experienced being demoted before (this was largely due to a reorganization most others got let go) and even for someone in my position that has basically stumbled into my job simply as a way to pay my way, it was shockingly difficult for my ego. So I get why we see these golden parachutes.

The reason the cheap toaster is often so reliable is because there are thousands of people whose entire livelihood depends on delivering the product. If you replace this foundation with credits from the state, the entire motivational structure collapses. Your cheap toasters become literal junk.
I think the irony is that the expectations of leftism arise from the success of their so-called ‘capitalism.’ Leftists look at cheap toasters that work for 20 years and think, ‘how difficult can this be?’ But that cheap toaster which can work for two decades wasn’t just whipped out without thought.
