This is just the next technological step from those services that would mail you summaries of the business books. And it's in part a product of the kinds of books (a lot of business, a lot of pop psychology and self-help philosophy) these guys read, which are so thin they can be quickly summarized.
RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:wovvs…
in reply to Aaron Ross Powell ☸️

The thinness of this reading diet, stapled to a "number goes up" mindset, means they view being informed as a product of how many books you've read, and for the most part they're interested in books that can be read quickly and without much thought. It breaks down with Anna Karenina, though.

"profane insults"?

I think "respond sensibly to ICE invasion" is more accurate

To anyone still wondering if New York Times can disgrace itself even more than it already has in recent years, Dan Froomkin has an answer:

"The sad fact is that there is nothing terribly out of character about the New York Times’s decision to publish a deceptive hit piece about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, based on hacked data supplied by a noted eugenicist to whom they granted anonymity."

not sins of the father accusation but weren't his ancestors colonial administrators or something, kind of implicit in the designation is you're affected by your heritage

A nice looking guy. You'd have thought he'd make a bigger splash after his service in the US Navy during the Civil War.

Curious also that most members of his family spelled their surname "Haxton" but he and his wife went with "Haxtun."

"The hand-in-waistcoat gesture traces back to classical times – Aeschines, founder of a rhetoric school, suggested that speaking with an arm outside of the chiton was bad manners. ... An early 18th-century guide on "genteel behavior" indicates that it denotes "manly boldness tempered with modesty."

For years they’ve pushed the left of ru party to endorse moderate candidates the second they’re nominated.

It’s time they do the same.

E-petition to sign for Canada to provide peacekeepers to Gaza for humanitarian purposes. It has already met the criteria to be heard in Parliament and demand a response from the government. Sign it! The more who sign, the more likely to take it seriously. This is a government petition and you must be Canadian to respond.

This entire conflict is absolutely ridiculous.
On one side, you have apologists for a genocidal state. On the other, you have opponents of a genocidal state.

If a fucking leftie cooperative can't pick the right side on this issue, then America is cooked.

LLM/GAN/etc. bubble taking so long to burst, the next AI winter's gonna be brutal. More like a full-blown Ice Age.

So the next big thing will be whole brain emulation, probably. And you know what that means, aside from immortality for a few rich fucks.

Let's hope we scale down our digital infrastructure way back before that, or it will get downright ugly. Moving text, audio and video back to analog media would help a lot too.

(Reminder: this shit's not AI. Will keep repeating it until you all fix your language or block me.)

"... rewrite the firewall prompt" nails it. I feel dirty and scared at the same time. Well done.

One of my favourite memories from the last Iceland trip is from the night we drove back from the puffin rock to our accommodation. As we reached the height of the mountain, suddenly we found ourselves driving above the clouds. It was magical. Iceland is magical.

I was going through an old list of websites that I had registered on that had been found in data breaches.

I had already updated account password of important ones, especially anything that had data on me beyond an email. But I left the old ones alone, figuring why bother.
"I'm not worried about blockbusterexpress.com, it doesn't exist anymore." But when I went there I found that it was bought by Sling & is a front to my Sling account, that had been compromised. ARGHH
