If this argument is true it implies an unintended but very bleak corollary about what things aren't really worth preserving, if you start to think about what things aren't thriving in the economy with competition from LLMs. Truste

Unfortunately, the same argument applied at the time to North Vietnam (1945-1976).

Did you read the post from yesterday's front page called Discworld Rules? It put the argument I'd like to make about the poor ideological/mental health of many fascists more eloquently that I can. Remember, Elon was an avid s

Elon's track record with effective management in the first decade of SpaceX was genuinely impressive and led to bullish misunderstandings about the rest of his career (and is still impressive today even after accounting for every other

There's a multi-decadal controversy in sociology and political science over whether some countries are forced to adopt the regressive approach because of structural geographic factors they can't control (such as low population den

What makes you think that Zuck, Ellison, Pichai etc are "obeying in advance" and haven't already received implied verbal threats of imprisonment?

I agree but I think most people will reject the idea without considering it if it isn't formatted as a 1500-word article hosted on substack.

Strictly speaking that is probably not as important a risk as the direct political risk of the Wikipedia 501c being involuntarily dissolved by AG Pam Bondi.

Wikimedia has spent years setting up a parallel org in Germany. The internet archive, ICANN, PCH and IETF are far more exposed to U.S. risk than WMF.

If the lives of nematodes are rich enough to experience a PTSD-analogue, young honeybees can play with balls and fruit flies enclosed in a glass box can vary their flying behavior in a way that is inconsistent with confusion and consistent

Rumsfeld once wrote: "If you had been a security policy-maker in the world’s greatest power in 1900, you would have been a Brit looking warily at your age-old enemy, France. By 1910, you would be allied with France and your enemy would

The recent advances in image recognition have millions of minor applications to agriculture, manufacturing and logistics, but the net effect is workforce reduction.

It's reasonably easy to see any herbivore receiving a fitness advantage for evolving this trait, since they are more likely to use it on close kin with whom they share a fraction of their genes than on any unrelated conspecific. It&#x2

At the risk of making ham-fisted comparisons to a guy whose first name was an anagram of Elon, befriending the new Politburo is a fantastically effective way to capture market share and drive competitors out of business.

I totally agree about all of the flaws, but I don't see that as an obstacle to profitability under the typical Schumpeterian conditions of business. After all, look at how much money Myanmar makes from enslaving people to work as unpai

I feel so incredibly embarrassed at my mistake here and understand the outrage. The DRC is two, maybe three orders of magnitude below Serbia in living standards and civil liberties and is no basis for comparison.

Every article I've seen so far on LLM datacenter investment is either very bullish or very bearish and I haven't seen sober exploration of whether it might be neither. What happens to the tech world if it turns out that LLMs reall

I appreciate the source and I'll get back to you with a detailed reply of my own once I've finished reading it and searching for corroborating details on the people who were there. Watch this space.

You mean the other Congo (RoC). DRC refers to the smaller, moderately good one that isn't currently being invaded by the Rwandan army.

Hey, the government can decide whether something qualifies as grounds to revoke a green card or not, that's totally legitimate and I support it. But, once they do, the guy is still entitled to a lawyer. Vanishing the guy and telling th

One thing I wonder, is how much of it is simply attributable to the demographic transition that happens when a society urbanizes. When birth rates start to drop the over-65s start getting more of a vote share than they've ever had befo

I have no problem with the comparison. DRC, Pakistan and Serbia are moderately good on net, with most having a good life and a minority being absolutely screwed. The idea that their average level of quality isn't similar to America&#x2
