A Labour MP remarks: "Starmer will go down as the worst PM in Labour history ... He’s a coward who refuses to take responsibility for his own actions. He is a moral gravity-well from which neither decency, honesty or integrity can escape. A genuine disaster for this country and the Labour movement.”

Virtually every "AI" use case I've encountered in my work life boils down to people wanting the satisfaction of solving a problem without taking the time to understand the problem. And the actual best answer would be for them to leave the problem to people who actually care enough to understand it
but the main point is that I think you need to understand a problem in order to solve it effectively
code generation tools just generate likely code based on other problems people solved. if you have a common problem your odds of usable code are decent, but that's not because it understood anything

Matt Simonton’s online presence much missed
In political philosophy, a central insight of (small-r) republicanism is that a kind master is still a master, and that relationship itself makes the subject unfree. Same with the ultrarich. Counting on them to put the interests of society before their own myopic interests is playing with fire.

Yeah I will say I spent a a lot of my life thinking I was being a sophisticated Marxist by condemning vulgar tendencies which saw particular capitalists and members of the ruling class as evil and the problem. No no, I would say, it is the system! Well, ok, maybe: but also they are evil turns out.
My favorite genre of Epstein emails are powerful people emailing WITH JEFFREY EPSTEIN about how MeToo has gone too far and the woke mob must be stopped.

I guess it makes sense that as universities transformed into real estate & hedge fund profiles controlled by a growing class of asset managers w/ no meaningful academic expertise, the preferred outputs wd come to resemble airport leadership books & bullshit Ted talks— but man, what are we doing here

The narrative that the ruling class "went insane" during COVID was apparently not totally accurate. In actuality, they all believed that the Me Too movement killed their beloved pedophile fixer and lockdown just delayed them eventually punishing us all for it.

This is about a desire for power. To not just be academics but to be celebrity academics with million dollar speaking tours and clout with Harvard's name. To be adored and lauded. They aren't actually good scholars, they don't have good ideas.

I’m actually kind of amazed that not one outlet seems to have copped that what is going on with Zohran Mamdanis politics and the racist discourse around him is a) explainable by and b) rooted in the work of both of his parents?!? Is no one trying to interview them?
