As an avid @wsj reader for many years, it is truly special to see my first byline on its front page, above the fold. I hope it’s not the last during my internship.
We must, then, avoid the “Babel syndrome,” namely the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, and the pretense that a single language — even a digital one — can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data and performance.

@paradite_ I don’t think anyone is surprised. They are just disappointed that no credit was given and that it’s part of a larger pattern where Cursor takes from the open ecosystem (from the very beginning with VSCode) without providing much in return.
@menhguin Who’s going to pay the taxes for UBI? I guarantee you if the left in America taxed AI companies at a much higher rate, lots of AI evangelists on here, including companies like Google and OpenAI, would whine about stifling AI development. If not these companies, who?

@spakhm On the other hand, Mearsheimer also said that Putin would be making a strategic mistake if he pursues the establishment of a “Greater Russia,” which Putin appeared to endorse in media statements
@spakhm It’s depressing to think about, because if Mearsheimer is correct that Russia invaded Ukraine to “wreck” it, Putin may be achieving his strategic objectives, despite what we currently see in the Western press
