On this account, I'm not doing lowercase truth; it's capital Truth.

Instead of engaging with you, people settle an argument by seeing who gets more likes. At that point, your argument starts with those who give the likes—assuming it's something worth arguing about.

In 1776, Thomas Jefferson founded the United States, Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati, and Adam Smith coined the phrase “the invisible hand.”

@teortaxesTex Makes sense.

@ashebytes Yours is on point, that's for sure.

It's totally possible for people to give up some of their freedoms, only to later realize they actually need them.

@threejs AI games in the browser are wild. Unfortunately, games are more of an artistic pursuit, so they're not for me.

@quasicoh Asians have high IQs, but their culture doesn't rely on intelligence. Western culture might become less attractive once the positive side effects of intelligence disappear.

@tomhyde_ @DavidDeutschOxf This sounds like a solid conjecture.

Programming before was: think of an idea and immediately start coding. You'll learn so much along the way, and eventually you'll know enough to start from scratch and arrive somewhere. Now it's just specifying something and having the agent give it a go. Looking at the result instead of brooding over the spec forever will teach you as much as doing the coding did previously.

As dumb as this sounds, confrontation is a form of cooperation, and cooperation is extremely difficult, requiring skill. That's why most people avoid it, along with confrontation. Various forms of tit-for-tatting are much simpler and scale a lot better.

@kimmonismus This is the dream. I'm done with macOS and Android.

@claudeai It's been a minute since the last one.

@mrousavy Good one to fall into!

[Matthias Giger @matthiasgiger]

@volosatovde Yeah, do you prefer small or large companies?

Boats or planes become a lot safer with size; a bit of turbulence or a wave can no longer do much to them. For cars, there is less of such an effect—wind can more easily topple over a bus—but in a crash, they will be better off, although they might have a harder time braking or swerving to avoid a danger.

@Y40IFRQTTING Very important term. Although there's a religious connotation in the term, I think this distinction belongs in the philosophy of politics.

@RoundtableSpace At some point, if you grow, it's mostly legal and customer support anyway, and no one is going to talk to an AI there.

@Clav0Updates Have you heard of the Ubermensch? 🤦‍♂️

@chainmonkey2 @physorg_com @RoyalAstroSoc Huge fail.
