It's weird to not only have lived through an information revolution but also now living through its undoing, all within less than a generation.
Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

I think the shortest version of why LLMs are an anti education technology is that education is fundamentally about making shared context to understand ourselves, each other, and the world

And by design LLMs destroy shared context

“Willing to consider viewpoints even if they don’t conform to the norm” is open-mindedness. “Compelled to take a contrary viewpoint without respect to merit” is a personality disorder.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

As a kid, I got into politics partly to do my bit fighting the Soviet Union.

Now we have a president who wants to turn us into a country that mimics the Soviet Union.

According to Tom Homan, for the crime Tom Homan allegedly committed, Tom Homan should have his citizenship stripped away and be renditioned to a foreign prison without receiving due process in the courts.

Sorry, Tom Homan, but those are Tom Homan's rules.

The First Amendment was never written to shield polite talk. It exists to protect the words we despise—because silencing them only breeds more danger.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

It may be a long time before the United States can look at itself in the mirror and see what it saw after World War II: the proverbial shining city on a hill, a model for other democratic nations.

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

Putting the military on the street will lower crime. It does in North Korea, did in Nazi Germany, and in the book 1984.

The question isn’t will it lower crime. The question is do we want to be a nation governed like this. Until 6 minutes ago the GOP believed in LOCAL control.

I want a presidential candidate who promises to construct Union memorials and statues all over the country.

And yeah, North and South. Blanket Virginia with statues of Thomas, who actually chose the right side.

Hell, put one of Sherman in the middle of Peachtree Park.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government.

It's important you notice what Trump's Treasury Secretary said the other day.

He slipped and admitted that the new Trump accounts - with a measly $1,000 per person - are "backdoor for privatizing Social Security."

He actually said that. I need to explain to you what it means.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Trump wants to shift critical infrastructure protection responsibilities to the states. What would that mean for cybersecurity? Less support, more vulnerabilities, and more attacks, experts and industry leaders told me.
