I mean... that could be a little "no true scotsman" at that point, though. I think the most useful interpretation of the previous post is Set A is "the set of developers who appeared sane before the arrival of AI agents"

I gotta give Musk credit. I continue to think his grift has reached the end of the road, and I'm always shocked at how credulously the market follows him onto the next grift while immediately forgetting the prior one. The market is far

I've gotta say, I'm at my absolute most smug when the internet is out and my Roku TV warns me "Are you sure you want to open Jellyfin, it probably won't work without internet access".

Yes. That's...not unusual. I would strongly to advise you to assume companies are extremely willing to lie in press releases.

You’re confusing “jurisdictions”. That’s the court’s jurisdiction not the prosecution’s jurisdiction. Yes, if the State of MN brings a criminal charge against a federal agent, the case will be removed from a State Court to a Federal Cou

They are, but again, district courts have been pretty good, and I would be out of jail in <30 days, unless my case goes up on appeal. And if I die in jail because I won’t unlock my phone: fuck ‘em, they’ll have to actually do it. I don’t

No, of course not. I don’t think it’s a crime to be punished. I’m just saying I think you’re helping an authoritarian regime, and I think that’s bad. I’m saying it because I think you should feel shame, not to suggest you should be punished

Yes, but I’m not going to unlock my phone with a passcode, and unlike biometric unlock they have no way to force me to unlock my phone. The district courts will eventually back me up on this. Our country has fallen a long way, but the d

When the crime is murdering people in cold blood, I will take nailing the “lowliest of perpetrators” (e.g. cold blooded murderers) to the fucking wall. Yes, I hope future administrators go up and down the chain of command looking at everyon
