People are right to point out that he should not simply cut a check to the government, instead he should lobby for higher wealth taxes like he lobbies for patents or voucher schools. Anything less is just free PR.

I swear they algorithms are optimizing for eyeball time, but what we get instead is an uncanny valley where your brain lingers to spot the difference from reality.

Netanyahu literally gave Hamas seed money because they don't want a viable two state solution.

I didn't realize we were bombing them into being tolerant, before we used to do it to make them a democracy.

With all that dysentery, lack of food, shelter, constant threat of getting blown up? Ehh maybe 2 days cuz I'm twice as old as the average person there.

Proprietary software makers: our software is more secure than open source because the public can't go looking for bugs to exploit.

So what happens if you start your airbag in an area without cell reception (so it can't verify your subscription)?

Fantastic read, shared at work and now following on mastodon. Also had this thought in regards to my own work:

... I find it reflects a similar problem we're having with our code base: "simple is not always easy". This article points out that Generative AI does what is easy/cheap, when what we really need is simplicity (or simplified complexity)

There's probably another article to write about this, I would title it: "Generative AI won't solve your Cynefin domain problem"

American/white/Millennial: Center-right. It recognizes the limits of capitalism without collectivizing the means of production.

And now we accelerate the process with generative AI, resampling data into "new" content for profit. But I can't shake the feeling this will be an undoing, like it somehow devalues the collated data becauce it becomes so abundant (and synthetic).

A puzzle game with simple graphics where you are the reanimated corpse of some environmental activist who was killed by being thrown into a chemical vat and flushed to the river. The forest brings you back to life with the goal of eating ~~billionaires~~ bad people who live in their mansions equiped with bunkers and panic rooms.

Edit for additional thoughts: bonus levels could be something akin to Epstein Island or Davos. Would be nice if "the help" could also get in on the fun, like you crack the safe with their passports and in return they give you the passcode to the safe room.

For most eras, how hard it was to make a good sandwich. And I'm not just talking about the past.
