@kashhill @OblongBooks Fun thread from 2015: https://t.co/pAhzmOUwHp

IMO this is where US election is headed. At least one Midwest/swing state will be close. It will be contested. Claims of fraud, hacked machines, etc. But this time, revolt might be through state legs via electors. For dems another reason to pick Shapiro (Whitmer if ur bold)

[Jonathan Albright @d1gi]

Nothing new here, but democratic strategists (still) seem to have difficulty understanding it's not a popularity contest. It's not a meme-off. Or a cringepageant. It's a board of directors proxy vote...with the ousted edgelord-in-chief's breath fogging up the outside window.

Hence JdV, who in 2020 floated the idea of state legislatures in contested states appointing oppositional sets of electors. If it went to plan, this circumvents typical lawsuits/governor cert/AG/state court (eg, 2001) and transfers decision to SCOTUS and House. Home turf.

@schneierblog this was the sort of culmination of a "David" vs "Walter" Android argument about AI adhering to moral frameworks.

Long story short, there are obvs lists everywhere to test and rank these in a myriad of ways, but this was the hardest I have ever seen it work.

When you ask a glorified 30% sentient TI-92 to solve mathematical ?s and sprinkle the solutions across five dimensions. This quest surely cost the equivalent of a small forest in electricity. #COBOL #SCHRODINGER #SUPERPOSITION #FORTH #DARKMATTER

"...a fascinating but highly complex challenge. The constraints involve using an esoteric programming language, arbitrary precision arithmetic, and non-standard hardware (a human brain-powered computer), which makes it practically infeasible to create a fully working solution."

I supposed the deeper in the Anderson world you are, the more rewarding. People who are new to the cult are likely to be frustrated, because in essence, it's a patchwork of interactional microcosms that never meaningfully converge /4

Schwartzman's performance is epic. Same with Maya Hawke and Tom Hanks. And every single young actor. And Liev Schreiber. /3
