By the left I don't mean democrats (they aren't left wing other than when convenient socially), I mean the theory-reading new leftists of a few decades ago i.e. a relatively tiny group of post-marxists that came up with new termin

Looking at institutions across the West I can't say he's wrong. I forget who's law it is but "Any institution that isn't explicitly right wing will become left wing". I don't think it's a real drive t

The algorithm is genuinely very good. That's why I deleted it. It's very addictive and not always just shoveling slop. I don't know if I can do it justice but there's something genuinely quite fresh about the AI stuff

Crowning yourself as an expert in a politically contentious field is very lucrative if you can make it stick.

Ignoring that the USSR tried all this stuff in the 20s until Stalin got rid of it, you know full well that there's a difference between some communist academic working in an office in Berlin or whatever and the Soviet union

I'm referring to the organisations that anoint themselves as arbiters of truth rather than just Facebook but I suppose the point almost stands

With the exception of fiscal cost and global warming those are all quite subtle, actually. $Employer spends rather a lot of time replicating official inflation numbers, it's not trivial.

Community notes is maybe the only good thing to happen to the microstructure of social media in years so I'm vaguely in favour of this. The official fact checking stuff is far too easily captured, it was like the old blue checks — a ha

You can get weirdly good results by asking for creativity and beauty sometimes. It's quite strange.

Does it perhaps mean in business speak: "We're now in the third phase of growth, we needed to make the engineers spend less on servers"?

Some people are just very susceptible although I think it's probably worth saying that everyone interesting probably has some beliefs that seem quite odd if written down in a very matter of fact way by a journalist who doesn't lik
