The difference is that under capitalism, some poor bastard would get tired of rowing, invent the steam engine, revolutionize the world, and wind up hated for being rich, so then they'd build theatres and libraries and name them for themselves.

Under communism, you just inform on your neighbor, who is assigned to row, and you are rewarded with a table on deck.

Under fascism, everybody pretends to row and the boat doesn't go anywhere.

There's a bit in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (written in 1979) where the heroes come upon an intergalactic flight has been grounded for thousands of years.

Its automated systems told it not to launch until it was fully stocked up with lemon-soaked paper napkins, for the comfort of its passengers. But the surrounding civilization collapsed, and the napkins never arrived.

Consequently it put all the passengers into hibernation (waking them once every few hundred years for coffee and biscuits) until such time as another civilization might arise, and restock its lemon-soaked paper napkins.

The Guide is a more accurate and prophetic account of modernity than most Very Serious Science Fiction writers could dream of creating.

LLM powered rewrites are ozempic for programming. You could have done it manually but you probably weren’t gonna. Now anyone can do it, and we’re all wondering what happens if you take the tool away.

Dear airlines far and wide, as long as you charge for checked bags while carryons fly free, people will continue to bring everything they own and the kitchen sink on board. We then are all treated to twenty minutes of watching the gate lice swarm the boarding area while a poor harassed underpaid employee begs the crowd to gate check for free. It is an epic failure of basic incentive structures and we are all embarrassed for having been here for this.

Compilers are deterministic. Give them the same code with the same compiler settings, and you'll always receive the same binary. You can take responsibility for your software at the code level.

LLMs, on the other hand, are stochastic. Even if you set the temperature to zero, you're likely to get different responses on the same prompt. Therefore, you need to understand the code it produces if you want to take ownership and responsibility for it.

Ketanji Brown Jackson is unfit for the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court is supposed to be the one institution in America that isn't a stage.

Nine people. Lifetime appointments. No elections. No donors. No campaigns. Just the Constitution.

Yesterday the Court ruled 8-1 that Colorado's ban on talk therapy violated the First Amendment. Six conservatives agreed. Both liberal justices agreed.

Except Jackson.

She wrote a 35-page dissent. Eight justices needed fewer pages to explain the law than she needed to explain why they were all wrong.

And read it aloud from the bench. Turning the court into a spectacle.

Then Kagan, Obama's appointee, publicly corrected her. Called the case "textbook" viewpoint discrimination. Accused Jackson of "reimagining and collapsing well-settled legal distinctions."

Jackson fired back in a footnote. Accused Kagan and Sotomayor of being dupes for the conservative majority.

A Supreme Court justice calling her own colleagues political pawns. In a legal opinion. From the bench that exists to be above politics.

Every time she loses, she turns on whatever allies she has left.

Three separate 8-1 rulings across three years. Lone dissenter every time.

Barrett wrote that Jackson "decries an imperial Executive while embracing an imperial Judiciary."

She has two liberal allies sitting right next to her. They looked at her reasoning and chose the law over her activism.

Last term, every justice on the Court agreed with the majority more often than she did. Dead last of nine.

In contested cases: 51%. Kagan, same team: 70%.

One builds coalitions. One writes 35-page letters to nobody.

Majority opinions: 5. Fewest on the Court.

Dissents: 10. Most on the Court.

Words per oral argument: 1,350. Next closest justice: 900.

She talks the most. Writes the longest. Wins the least.

Before the Supreme Court she spent eight years on the DC District Court. More of her rulings were overturned than nearly two-thirds of her peers.

Reversed unanimously for exceeding her jurisdiction.

Tried to overrule Congress on immigration. The court above her said she had no authority.

And that court leaned left. Six of ten judges appointed by Democrats. Even they thought she went too far.

A judge is supposed to be consistent.

States can't ban gender procedures for minors. States have ABSOLUTE power to ban talk therapy for minors.

Same justice. Same year. The only variable is which side of the culture war the regulation falls on.

A judge is supposed to be honest.

Told law students in 2015 that critical race theory informs sentencing. Told the Senate in 2022 that CRT doesn't come up in her work as a judge. One of those was under oath.

Can't define the word "woman" in front of the Senate. Celebrates being "the first Black woman" on the Supreme Court on The View. Under oath she's not a biologist. On daytime TV she's making history.

A judge is supposed to protect the vulnerable.

Federal sentencing guidelines called for 10 years in a child pornography case. She gave 3 months. Her sentencing averaged 57% below national for possession. 47% below for distribution. Every. Single. Case. Below guidelines.

A judge is supposed to defend the Constitution. Not treat it as a document to be corrected.

She praised the 1619 Project, which argues America's true founding wasn't liberty in 1776 but slavery in 1619.

She wrote from the bench that "Our country has never been colorblind." Rejecting the plain meaning of the Equal Protection Clause.

She accused the Court itself of enabling "our collective demise."

"Let-them-eat-cake obliviousness." "Five-alarm fire." "Moneyed interests."

These aren't legal opinions. These are campaign speeches from a chair that's supposed to be above campaigns.

Harvard Law. A Supreme Court clerkship. Eight years on the federal bench. She told the Senate she doesn't have "a judicial philosophy per se."

But she told the country she's "not afraid to use her voice."

She's an activist. Weakest judge of the highest court.

Biden had judges with more cases argued before the Court and bipartisan support. He passed over them for the nominee endorsed by Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, and Demand Justice.

She doesn't want to be a justice. She wants to be a politician.

She just skipped the election.

I hope you understand what's at stake.
