My convenience store closed on me. And my favorite bakery. And one of the morning baozi places.
The nearest 美宜佳 has sort of introduced a store without a clerk.
They can’t quite do it, because of the alcohol and cigarettes, but poor dude has no counter, no little office, just has to camp out.

More Everything Forever strikes me as a terrible book. You can’t open with an appeal to Yudkowsky’s expertise. Pivot to his claim we should be willing to nuke data centers, and then say the dude might someday win the Nobel Peace Prize for his “work” on AI.

This is sort of an interesting snap shot of how these guys view government and where they think the power really is.

A long time since I’ve seen an orange flight suit. Would actually sort of make sense.
You wear orange so search and rescue can spot you easier. Because the Taiwanese would mostly be flying over Taiwan, they don’t really have to worry about evasion.

🪖🇹🇼 Walked by a Taiwan military recruitment center. Very 可愛 / kawaii. Not entirely convinced the cartoon soldier and teddy bears project military might or strike fear in the PLA's heart. Or attract the right candidates? Although — I'd love a plushie.

Listening to what OpenAI wants to do and feels like we’re either going to end up with a Dune style pre born abomination.
They want you personal AI to remember every book you’ve read. Every email. Your whole life.
Idk maybe it’s not an Abomination maybe it’s Meat Fucker.

Chinese biz mag Caijing the first to report Chinese tariff exemptions for certain chip imports, then more from Bloomberg and Reuters
China blinked too - but not publicly. And the most interesting line: "The Caijing report was deleted from its website and official WeChat channel by noon Friday"
