I bet I could.

We don't want to get arrested for child pornography.

I am on X professionally as a developer relations engineer and I haven’t seen a single instance of this on X.

Meanwhile the people making a fuss about it are the same people that voted against investigating the recent child abuse scandal in the UK.

Nope.

I have character and I'm German who knows his history.

In America no one really drinks any more.

If it is not in the interest of people over the age of 60, it will not happen in the US.

"Banality of evil." This does seem to be obliquely whitewash the company as it's adjacent to so much of tech. I don't think this exempts them from the hostile intent of their work.

He wrote that 20 years ago. I think today, it's more like top 10% in 3 or more things.

Aside: does anyone know why AI landing pages prefer the color purple?

probably because they're using tailwind and indigo is the default for a lot of examples.

because if you tell an LLM to generate a landing page it picks purple

Holy shit lmao. Like the wokest tumblr crowd focused into a laser for 2025. How do these guys get through life? Exhausting existence.

> Presumably weather models have been using all sorts of advanced machine learning for decades now

This isn't actually true, unless you're considering ML to be just linear regression, in which case we have been using "AI" for >100 years. "Advanced ML" with NN is what's being showcased here.

K-shaped growth, dual economy, permanent underclass what ever you want to call it, shapes all aspects of life.

Call it what it actually is: societal abuse from wealthy oligarchs with their masks removed. One man bought up all the RAM on planet Earth, and everyone's like "lol I guess computers are just expensive now".

For Second-Handers the value of DRAM collapses past 256K anyway. I'd rather the people who can actually use it get societies resources than bums who use it to play games and crap out dumb scribbles or "vfx"

Second-Handers love to denigrate the work of Elon Musk and Sam Altman, but these men are solving fundamental problems, you can get your DRAM on the second-hand market after Sam uses it to create AGI. A reasonable man would be very grateful for the existence of these oligarchs. I assume you are just posting unconsciously not unreasonably.

It's been a while since I thought about Poe's Law. Thanks for the laugh.

You almost had me there lol
