so excited to host a cozy sundays x claude create-a-thon with @ZJangda and @AnthropicAI on june 1 in nyc at the beautiful @AmbrookAg space 🤎
if you’ve been meaning to meet the coolest builders around, try out your vibe coding with artifacts, and grab some tasty snacks, comment or dm me for the luma :)
@13Y4TT@noampomsky The latter. It incited a moral panic among coastal types -- partly because they thought Chua was 100% serious (rather than a normally strict parent engaging in hilarious self-parody), partly because they're the chief proponents of being parented by one's own children
@noampomsky Can I interest you in a hopeful take about Japan's pop culture presaging America's in the last 34 years? Or perhaps a grim take on culture industries being tiny and insular, and the Anglo-world one being particularly psychologically deranged? Maybe just a plug for the manga?☕️
@noampomsky Blue Lock is 🔥, but it's a shame the snoot commentariat convinced everyone that The Sopranos is Very Serious ArtTM vs. an absurdist comedy full of lovingly rendered Italian-American stereotypes. Paulie's scenes are literal slapstick. Tony's shrink's shrink is absolute gold.
@athenakan_ "Popular packages include strictly verbal harassment, digital stalking from abroad, & theft of hugely over-insured automobiles in Big Lebowski-esque disrepair -- just remember to remove your CCR tape from the deck prior to your service date."
@aashaysanghvi_@semil Casting a vote for the same Differentiated POV but a more appropriate Kirkland beverage for this receptacle form factor. Contemplating a vote to add paddles and receptacle-appropriate gameplay as well
@aashaysanghvi_ Trying not to whine about LLMs driving an explosion in paperwork. "I can barely do my taxes" becomes "LLMs abstract away my taxes" becomes "grimly envisioning the apocalyptic future where even LLMs can't parse my med insurance." Solution: abolish environmental review 🤣

“for that reason, your parents would be very proud if you pursued chem & industrial management degrees specializing in the production of Mountain Dew-colored Ooze, which is a necessary chemical precursor to both the turtle’s charming fraternal hijinks and their much-maligned but clearly effective ‘tough on crime’ approach”
“so, you see, if the whole country naively adopts anti-police/prosecution principles, these pizza-scarfing adolescent sewer dwellers become not just a charming slice of ‘90’s Americana, a cautionary reminder of the peak crime wave, and a novel suggestion for solving Manhattan’s housing shortage, but our sole line of defense of people and property.”
@PalmerLuckey upvote: interesting double standard in fan entitlement vs anything w/ the “art” label, where fans assume their own ignorance instead of authorial failure
eg, Akira movie, a super compression of source manga that, like the bible, trades narrative continuity for brevity + thematic coherence.
in Akira’s case, either
a. newbies think the vague/jumpy narrative + characters are artsy postmodernism and don’t realize there’s 5k pages of source material stuffed into 90 min.
b. viewers know the work by reputation (ie, cultural gatekeeper opinion) and so do the background work/reading themselves, don’t expect it to be served up to them
@JWTheCountry @EHunterChristie@robert_zubrin No such assertion. Always willing + often happy to be wrong. Your comment was v general and reframed OP's note to mean something -- globalized sovereignty, adherence to policies of the dead -- different than it does as written. A wise man also said we should take our own advice.
@McCormickProf@McCormickProf exactly right. Building more complexity into the speech regulatory Rube Goldberg machine only places us further at the mercy of admin enforcers and the broken selection mechanism for them

@BillAckman@BillAckman exactly! Have to unwind, not expand/repurpose, the tortured policies, bureaucracies, and hiring/advancement incentive structures the trio unwittingly copped to before congress:
