Aka rewrite a song into a NYTimes headline.

"All things possible for love, bar refusal for item in question"

If you don't believe what a politician says is their own thoughts, but what they've been told to say, then what is to stop them being told to say something else in the future? Much easier to trust someone who seems authentic, even if you don't like them as much.

I think a politician that was willing to speak their mind more, even if they are wrong more often, will get much more of a connection from the public. Cf Boris Johnson, Farage etc. "the politician you would most like to have a pint with"

Most politicians these days are so over focus grouped that - even when they say the right thing - you can tell they're saying what they think a politician should tell the median voter, not what they actually believe

I think this is genuinely a large part of the appeal of Trump and other populists - that they have no filter. Trump clearly says whatever comes into his brain, and efforts people might not agree with what he says, I think they are drawn to the authenticity of just coming out and saying it

It's less spooky if you document it though

Yeah but it's also the perfect time to drink ale and eat a large pie, sooooo

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this. There are dozens of us! Dozens!

Thats awfully unlucky, sorry to hear that man

Goldilocks as a metaphor is only useful when talking about a safe range where both too much and too little are problematic.

Which is to say, these are not the planets where Goldilocks is located, but rather the ones she would choose.

Of course in Huangs speech the whole metaphor breaks down anyway, as surely there is no such thing (from their perspective) of _too much_ AI infrastructure.

One could argue that the "Goldilocks position" refers not to the position of Goldilocks, but the position _chosen_ by Goldilocks. Compare with the concept of the "Goldilocks zone" in astrophysics to refer to the region around a star that could contain habitable planets, neither too hot nor too cold.

Aka just Monday

And we can finally - in London at least, in the last few years - get some pretty decent Mexican. It's not as plentiful, reliable or affordable as in the States (or least SF which is my reference) but at least I can sate my craving for decent tacos every now and again.

Thanks for these responses Stacey, super helpful!
