IBM did. This is one reason why we need separation of business and government.

They are currently trying to oust the some 5 people in Congress that actually spoke up. Thomas Massie has three separate billionaires funding campaigns against him in Kentucky. If they have their way it really will be 100% of congress that does what Israel wants lockstep, up to and including sanctioning genocide.

IDK, the whole situation reminds me of Fallout and VaultTech. We don’t really have representation. If you want to know if someone actually represents you just ask them where they stand on Israel.

Don’t you guys cheer ending free speech anytime you are in power? I’m all for you joining the team, but please stop vilifying the people who got there before you.

That’s like saying the space shuttle is responsible for curing polio. Yes, the the period before the space shuttle existed there was a lot of polio. The military incursions from Muslim countries into Europe were ended by the Crusades.

A lot of news is just blog posts on a site that claims to be more than a vlog. But is it really. Sometimes what gets classified as news is poorly researched as fuck. And then this “news” end up on trashy blog sites that run 10x more ads than most blog sites. I don’t buy appeal to authority fallacies so the fact that those articles are written by “journalists” is irrelevant. Modern journalists don’t act like journalists because they write crap.

90% of news is a hair away from blog spam once you ask the Socratic questions, what is blog? what is news?

We have the Scofield Bible to blame. Remember that Christians did the whole Spanish Inquisition thing and Martin Luther called for the expulsion of Jews from Europe. If supporting Israel because Jews exist there was theologically consistent with Christianity then neither of those things would have happened. But the Scofield bible rewrote parts of the Bible to promote Christian Zionism and was popularized particularly in the United States. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scofield_Reference_Bible

Israeli spokesmen responsible for messaging the United States still quote it. Bibi says: “God will bless those who bless us [Zionist Israel].” In reality the Bible used the non-plural you referring to Abraham the individual person, who was alive 4000 years ago.

Meanwhile Jesus himself said to modern Israel’s progenitors, who were also political zionists, “Say not that you are sons of Abraham, for if you were you would do the works of your father. But you do the works of your father, who is Satan.”

Basically if you are a modern Christian who supports Israel you are a fucking retard who can’t read. The clergy of older Christianity could read. That’s why they didn’t think their post-judiaism religion demanded they worship any Jews with the exception of Jesus.

In the future there will be media queries for how old the reader is.

The dependency hell of JS is caused by React. It’s an ironic turn because node gained popularity in part because it was one of the first to have a coupled package manager with a massive public contribution model, full of a billion packages that follow the unix philosophy of “everything should do only one thing, and do it well” Dependency hell would disappear if people stopped popularizing competing swiss army knives. It’s made worse by people trying to mash these swiss army knives together just to improve portfolio.

We’ve gotten to the point where you aren’t considered a real professional unless you start even the smallest projects with maximum technical debt.

It should never be impressive that you used a tool. If the tool made programming it easier then it’s not a mental feat. If the tool made programming it harder, then people should think you are kind of slow for using a tool that made development harder. This is why brag culture over what tools are used makes no sense. Just use tools that make life easier. If it doesn’t make life easier, stop using it.

Intuition is about the only thing it has. It’s a statistical system. The problem is it doesn’t have logic. We assume because its computer based that it must be more logic oriented but it’s the opposite. That’s the problem. We can’t get it to do logic very well because it basically feels out the next token by something like instinct. In particular it doesn’t mask or disconsider irrelevant information very well if two segments are near each other in embedding space, which doesn’t guarantee relevance. So then the model is just weighing all of this info, relevant or irrelevant to a weighted feeling for the next token.

This is the core problem. People can handle fuzzy topics and discrete topics. But we really struggle to create any system that can do both like we can. Either we create programming logic that is purely discrete or we create statistics that are fuzzy.

Of course this issue of masking out information that is close in embedding space but is irrelevant to a logical premise is something many humans suck at too. But high functioning humans don’t and we can’t get these models to copy that ability. Too many people, sadly many on the left in particular, not only will treat association as always relevant but sometimes as equivalence. RE racism is assoc with nazism is assoc patriarchy is historically related to the origins of capitalism ∴ nazism ≡ capitalism. While national socialism was anti-capitalist. Associative thinking removes nuance. And sadly some people think this way. And they 100% can be replaced by LLMs today, because at least the LLM is mimicking what logic looks like better though still built on blind association. It just has more blind associations and finetune weighting for summing them. More than a human does. So it can carry that to mask as logical further than a human who is on the associative thought train can.

Even defining reason is hard and becomes a matter of philosophy more than science. For example, apply the same claims to people. Now I’ve given you something to think about. Or should I say the Markov chain in your head has a new topic to generate thought states for.

When he was a teenager it would have been Slackware. Not even Knoppix was released yet.

And he didn’t use Linux as a teenager. You hallucinate things worse than ChatGPT.

This is why we should end all federal policing. It’s not in the constitution. You were never meant to interact with your federal government. The federal government was for regulating the states, interstate commerce, and common defense.

Jokes on them. I’m going to use AI to estimate the value of content, and now I’ll get the kind of content I want, though fake, that they will have to generate.
