> According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, in 1989 US officials feared that TRON could undercut American dominance in computers, but that in the end PC software and chips based on the TRON technology proved no match for Window

Recent publications have not yet passed the test of time.

Imagine being sanctioned for trying to read books.

This assumes that culture and academia work hand in hand, which is just in line with many right-wing conspiracies and plain wrong.

This is interesting. They really can’t keep you locked forever.

My argument stands whether the author meant to be read literally or not. Below the surface it’s still about the tension of rationality and irrationality within social settings.

There are no natives anymore. For some time, really. Honestly I don’t even think there ever were.

It sounds like people are being paid to push Erlang for agentic stuff. Cool story, but if I end up feeling like I need to “return to the 20th century” for abstractions, I’ll just use Lisp.

So much money that only running your mega ad operation would allow you to cover the costs.

This is the first thing that comes to mind. However I wonder if not only the “general” vocabulary can be anonymized but also the underlying concepts and references, because they point to a particular place too.

This is a plain admission that the administration has lost on the merits of their arguments.

Damn that’s good quote. And I would even go as far as saying that the apparent cynicism of the “honesty with the volume cracked up” is just a mirroring of the inversion that symbols suffer while transiting Culture. In fact now I’m a bit wor

In my personal experience, an ironic statement that hits too close to home will - regardless of the irony - get downvoted. Partly because irony serves to be lost and it is lost too much. Partly because it still uncovers something uncomforta

I just wanted to add: there’s no single piece of machinery that can void the human experience. A large collection of machinery can only delay the inevitable. Please have fun with your project.

There’s also the other way around. Semantic AI is a good chunk of meat, but it can only be useful as it’s harnessed properly with a nice set of bones. I think that symbolic AI will make a come back eventually. Not as an accelerator of what’

Very nice piece of text. For me it’s the fact that the book is always there and no amount of pages can be too much for me to gather something from rereading a part of the book that leads to where I left off. In a way I think we’re also past

It is impossible to enforce a world free of heuristics, but this is certainly very cool. Reminds me of that Black Mirror episode with the circular QR code.

It looks to me as a consumer that the worst option for my consumption is asserted as the inevitable decision of purchase only by coercion.

I hate these free floating quotes and sayings, but maybe the “malice vs. incompetence attribution” idea applies here.

That’s a very sober take in my opinion. Intelligence isn’t about neutrally inferring from externally sourced symbols such as the ones who already come from Culture in general. It’s about confronting them with the remaining determinations of

The revolution will be notably public, but not live-streamed. It will come as a swift and decisive reaction to a shock-and-awe deployment that will de-stabilize the state apparatus of a big nation outside of the “west”. The movement will be

Laws and morality have always been bendable. It’s just that doing the bending requires a certain competence that was somehow lost.
