It’s worth paying attention to how many people see technology as a way to punish people they don’t like, instead of a tool to make things better. Stay away from those people and the tech they’re embracing. If you read my tweets you might decide I’m a Luddite. I’m not! I work in tech and I’ve just done it long enough that I can differentiate between a useful tool that can be leveraged and something that’s both hyped and embraced by awful people. Look at crypto for another example.

This isn’t going to happen, and it’s not going to happen because the dirty secret of AI is that it’s super expensive to run. Entry level trainable models start at $30k a month and they aren’t going to get cheaper. Add in the skilled labor to train the model and it’s not worth it. ChatGPT is ridiculously expense to run (something like $100k an hour) just so you can get inaccurate information and bad poems. You can get text easily, but then you’re going to have to edit it so it’s not garbage. It’s still cheaper to just hire people to do the work.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." Image It’s not about the sanctity of the constitution or whatever, it’s about staking out an argument that allows them to use the power of the state against the people they don’t like. The constitution’s just a useful tool for it because it was written by rich white slaveowners.

Silicon Valley’s problem is, in large part, that they’ve stopped fixing the average person’s problems. Tech hasn’t improved most people’s lives in a noteworthy way in over a decade, and has made an awful lot of people’s much worse. Most people outside the Valley can see this decay, not just in a lack of new services, but also in the rapidly declining quality of existing services like how Google search is now basically unusable.

First episode of The Book of Boba Fett breaks the one rule they should have for the character, and something they respected in The Mandalorian - don’t ever show me Boba Fett getting his ass kicked. He should always be cool. Oh cool, Jizz music has a Bossa Nova variation now

Very cool to see protestors taking on the centers of power by going after *squints* a family owned taqueria and *squints harder* open streets Something that I’ve taken note of recently is people deciding that the enemy is people doing slightly better than they are instead of capital or power. Activists slowly shifting from “eat the rich” to “die yuppie scum” because they don’t like the aesthetics of something.

One thing that isn't being communicated properly about the vaccines is how they're very effective at preventing serious illness if you do catch COVID, and statements like this don't help. We have holiday parties during flu season every year! We've decided it's an acceptable risk. I think there's a charitable reading of @ScottGottliebMD's statement that isn't about the risk of people getting COVID, but about their own hesitancy to be in close situations during flu season, which makes sense. We all have to process trauma and re-enter society.
