I love the big ten ad that is like “we put a bunch of electrodes on this baby oh and here’s a guy in a cowboy hat looking at a carburetor for some reason”

What is the point of posts like this?
It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.

Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

It’s insane that the current admin is fighting tooth and nail to keep energy expensive and polluting. You could probably fit all the people that this course benefits in a single room.

I read The Road when I was 14 and don’t think I’ve been the same since.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!

tell me about a book that changed you

for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I sincerely cannot think of a less provocative, less trolly thinker than Yglesias whose whole thing is mostly just to insist that obviously true things are in fact true.

The last like 2 years have radicalized me into a rabid antitrust hawk
I thought it was tinfoil at first but Microsoft declining to comment when asked about really does have me thinking this might be a quid pro quo thing. Government run by and for grifters.
I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

3. It’s a useful tool for certain applications (in its current paradigm) but not a panacea. More like excel than skynet.
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."
