The amazing thing about Rush Limbaugh is how quickly he vanished after he croaked. Only the rage he stoked remains.

Think of how many reported issues we've seen and remember there are only 4000 on the road. 4000 on the road and we're seeing this many issues with them. They have a massive qa crisis on their hands.

I'd honestly be in for that. Imagine construction in the Mad Max world? Imagine trying to run a construction crew while yirue guys are getting in death matches and cannibalizing their foremen?

What you have to understand is the real good we've done here. We've given so many tech bros the ability to generate subpar images with too many fingers without ever needing to interact with a human artist or speak or collaborate with anyone. What a victory.

This right here: despair leads to despair. It's the greatest impediment to change. People who want change need to lead through possibility. Help people see what could be. Don't just show them the darkness; show them the light we could have ahead of it.

They just don't understand or care because they are never the people doing the work. Google even has exhaustive science to back this up and then they turn around and break apart teams themselves.

They had an encampment of Christian protestors during my graduation protesting Satan. Can't remember why then and there. They just stood on their little patch of grass. No one called storm troopers on them. They just did their thing, we did ours.

They love putting crooked cops indebted to the force on internal affairs because that means that there will be no internal investigations.

Succession is a pretty good demonstration of how anyone who stands up to him is just removed. Fired, or just pushed out. Narcissts with wealth build walls of sycophancy which exist entirely to shield them from ever hearing the truth.

It is a kind of delicious irony. He sees the enshitification, actively TRIES to enshittify, and oops, a good product. Then when Musk completely and totally enshittifies Twitter, he runs BACK there and is like, "this is freedom now".

It's astounding that the dolts making decisions don't realize that it's not just individual skills but rather the coordination and collaboration of an experienced team that makes it possible to do hard work well. You can't just toss everyone around and expect the same results.

The involvement of profiteering goons is never at an end. Anything popular with eyeballs and people will always be bait for profiteering goons, and their influence must always be fought. At the user level, at the community level, and at the political level.

As a writer I love this. I want people to tell me plot holes. Nothing is a greater love language to me than someone indicating they were paying enough attention to realize that X character couldn't have done Y thing because they were in Z place at that time. I love that deeply.

The problem with capitalism is that it reduces value to these irrelevant little tokens. Journalism and writing is one of the most valuable things we have that current has no real business model. That only means the business model is fucked. Not that the thing has no value

It can come up with probable molecules out of millions of possibilities. But AI can't magically know how they'll work. So it can't really shortcut the human trial portion of it, which really won't make it appear much faster.

They will, in fact, do a 180 to become a tool of the autocracy. Autocraties require legitimacy, and so a fourth estate willing to compromise everything to aid them becomes a very valuable tool. Trump always desperately craved the validation from the Times. They know this.

A million people died in the US alone during COVID thanks to Donald Trumps incompetence. The person whose house you're building isn't the President's. It's the people who live around you. If you want to remain mired and wallowing in self-obsession, that's a lonely life but it's your prerogative.

Let's say instead of an election, townspeople are gathering to help rebuild a neighbors home destroyed in a storm. If the home could be rebuilt without you, would you just stay home? Or would you go and help so that you aid the community?

But it's not about you, personally, making the difference. That's what I'm intimating to you. That's a selfish perspective where you, personally, want to feel like the special deciding factor. It's about all of us contributing. Everyone matters equally. Overshooting the goal is a good thing

Perhaps because shoveling money to giant megacorps in the hopes of eventually persuading them to stop killing people is a poor system of governance. If we have to first reward the thing to get it to stop killing us, then it's basically just a protection racket.
