ChatGPT can simulate dialing into a BBS from DOS and talking to fake people: https://twitter.com/gfodor/status/1599220837999345664 It can allow you to create chat rooms among any notable humans: https:/&#x2F

The poster glosses over the thing that Twitter did that wasn't on the content moderation curve: banning people for COVID-19 "misinformation" and "election interference." This is why something needed to be done. T

No, because the thing that has changed explicitly is Twitter is no longer going to ban users based on hateful conduct, but deboost their tweets.

Very nice overview - thanks for this. Q: what's your take on the path to a possible a web browser based DHT that could be used instead of tracker servers (or anything, really.) I've seen a variety of people trying to figure this o

The AI models don’t have access to reality, so insofar as art needs to be motivated from physical reality, it breaks down until they do. For example, if humans were to start modifying their bodies in a novel and counterintuitive way, AI mod

The big question is what happens when the human training set for art stops being generated? Will AI art stagnate, or will there still be enough humans making art without financial reward to continue to supply models with better data?

Mighty would have been huge imo if they just waited a bit longer and pivoted to powering browsers inside of mobile VR/AR all day wear devices, like the upcoming Apple visor, where there are basically no resources available to be used f

Criminals extensively using crypto proves that it is the case - under authoritarian regimes criminals are acting with virtue. Obviously things like Tornado Cash facilitate ways to obfuscate chain state, but further things like ZKPs will con

I think this is a fair perspective but it does ignore the fact that if/when you have Internet money that works, it inductively leads to many additional consequences that inevitably will be attempted, such as building a parallel financi

People who are anti-crypto are expressing the privilege that comes when you assume transactions you want to do will never be illegal. Crypto and trustless systems like DeFi are essential technologies to help in protecting the freedom to tra

I’m working on this, but for 3D. The essential pieces you may be interested in: - put all UI in shadow dom under the root, so inspector is exactly the html being edited - use the file system access api to allow local writeback to file syste

Apple won’t ship anything until they’ve found a way to make people want to. The key insight is that the device will be off most of the time.

It will have similar usage patterns as your watch (all day wear not all day use) but will be AirPods for the eyes via a flip down visor. (Imo)

They’ve demoed it to the board twice, it’s shipping. It’s not what you’re imagining - will (imo) be all day wear flip down passthrough AR with 4ish hour battery life.

Zuck’s thesis is going to be vindicated in a few months and he will end up being basically spot on in terms of ubiquity in 10 years. The pivot to catch up conceptually with Apple is going to be tough but doable.

That's FaaS, not middleware for the static contents of your site.
409.
by gfodor 4y ago
That's not middleware, is it? It's cool, but sits between what is discussed here and something like a FaaS. My understanding is that this post is about actually deploying middleware that runs during the serve of the static pages.

by gfodor 4y ago
I have never seen an example where you land a JS file in a static website in git and it just runs as part of server side middleware. Seems legit novel but would like to know other examples.

No it’s pointing out the server side scripting part which was new to me. do analogs exist in those other hosting options? This seems like a really nice facility - closest analog client side wise is a service worker or something that adjusts

Yep - it would be useful if more people had literacy of using the tool for these conversations. I don't blame them, that shouldn't be expected or required, but there is a large gap between how bad this looks and how materially bad

It's a violation but this examples doesn't jive with how I use Copilot, for whatever that is worth. Usually Copilot takes into account context and integrates the various bits into a whole that fits in with the surrounding code. Th

The root of this thread is rejecting the idea of appeasement. Escalation that ultimately ends in appeasement is not a counterargument but evidence that appeasement is a valid strategy for ending a conflict when it comes to nuclear weapons.

by gfodor 4y ago
Yeah and we moved missiles out of Turkey - ie, we appeased.

by gfodor 4y ago
MAD hasn’t been breached until a nuclear weapon is deployed in a way that would guarantee a nuclear response under existing treaties.

by gfodor 4y ago
Hitler didn’t have nukes. The minimum level of appeasement to prevent the deployment of nuclear weapons may be the optimal strategy. There is no guarantee that the post nuclear game theory doesn’t converge on dictators grabbing all land tha
