@thenickpattison It’s so funny how all of these are just made up

@politicalmath Compare this to if you disrupted the logistics of something more benign as rapidly and chaotically, like say apples. You could say “well China should just supply the apples” but if they aren’t ready or properly equipped to do so you still fucked up pretty bad being hasty, no?

@politicalmath The fact that your brain is so primed, like a rat on an electrode, to seek the emotional stimuli of proving “they” are wrong in some form is a sign of complete and total defeat of your intellect by the algorithm

@politicalmath The network operated in extremely non-standard markets relying on knowledge and tactics developed carefully over decades and was dismantled for literally no reason

@DavidKlion I think it’s fascinating to look at ways in which AI just amplifies things that already exist and I think this is one. Not that people use some other means to write currently, they just don’t do it

@TheStalwart @NickTimiraos Could you ask what his hair stack is

@lionel_trolling I know this might seem like bullshit but I was into punk and only thought of this as a weird Death in June symbol

@TheStalwart I think people’s ability (or appetite) to consume and utilize dashboards and reports is more inelastic than it may have seemed

[xanny minton beddoes @casiotoner]

@TheStalwart I see a lot of people (and see firsthand) that much of this is channeled into internal tooling, but I think you could then make the argument that the output of that internal tooling is also not seemingly changing (or improving) that much.

@tenobrus @habibislop If electricity is emerging as a useful comparison, this also has precedent. I can power my toaster and have a generator in my shed but Brookhaven lab has a nuclear reactor. And that’s fine!

@tenobrus @habibislop Wouldn’t a world where there is restricted access to hyper-powerful AI for eg medicine and energy breakthroughs but then just fine AI for all us wageslaves to alleviate the menial work be honestly the best outcome? Like no weaponized slop cannons or revenge deepfakes etc

@conorsen You can access via rentals but it’s kinda sad. Very “you can sleep here but don’t unpack” vibes across the modern economy

[xanny minton beddoes @casiotoner]

@conorsen I think there’s an adjacent thing where no one in that 250k bracket is like “maybe we could buy a lake house” or equivalent. Those are all owned by boomers and family. It’s like a demographic gentry

@TheStalwart @conorsen Internet as metered utility makes sense tbh

@JillFilipovic But of course time will eventually force the decision - not just around kids, but around recognizing the shape of their own singular lives. All they’ll have is a muted sort of regret and/or shallow pride at all their travels and accomplishments before vanishing off the stage

[xanny minton beddoes @casiotoner]

@JillFilipovic This is the most telling bit - it’s not that they’re happier or have more meaningful lives, it’s that they can permanently wander the aisles of the possibility store and never have to check out and go home.

@soleio @round It’s the exact kind of intangible tradeoff culture has made constantly as of late, which has led to endless profits and plummeting happiness

[xanny minton beddoes @casiotoner]

@soleio @round I think the idea is that it enables new levels of scale and speed but comes at a severe if somewhat hidden cost - there’s no soul in churning out endless to-go containers. And while the customer technically gets the food, the experience is also quite lacking

@pmarca The issue is that to meaningfully comment on taste you have to have taste, and you don’t, so it kinda nullifies ya eggman
