This is such a beautiful, poignant and important talk.
I just wanted to say, I’m probably more proud of this Ted talk than just about anything I’ve ever done so I’m gonna be absolutely useless for the next couple of weeks as I promote the shit out of this because I want you to watch it because it matters in the moment we are in youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg

I like how so much of sci-fi stories about AI have been like "what if AI was sentient but corporations didn't want you to find out to save their profits" and the reality is the complete opposite. Their AI sucks shit but they desperately want you to believe it's a sentient slave

Elements of Clojure
Polanyi calls this "tacit knowledge", a thing which we only understand as part of something else. When we speak, we do not focus on making sounds, we focus on our words. We understand the muscular act of speech, but would struggle to explain it.
