Idk if "hallucination-based API design" specifically is The Way. There might be other ways of achieving the same goal. Also,LLM hallucination is changing/improving quite rapidly. That said, "Designed for LLM" is pro

This is totally understandable, valid, etc. OTOH, see script kiddies, WYSIWYG Stack Overflow C&P, etc. It's just the way things are now.

Fwiw... As a tendency, Irish labour courts tends to find in favour of employees... but also tend to award relatively small compensation. A headline making award is pretty rare. Judge must not be a Twitter fan.

In some sense, the world today is the world we previously believed it to be.

Imo to make any sort of intentional impact, a good approach would be to replicate OkCupid's mid-2000s. Not the features, the fact that OkCupid was a subculture... and that it had its own cultural norms and features. Att "poly&quot

"geohotz fixes dating" is a wonderful meme. Let's keep it. I think it's futile trying to "design" any social media, certainly something like dating. Social media is more discovery than a design. You discover ho

The problem is the extremely sparse written record. It's basically "pre-history" in terms of academic discipline, until the high medieval. There just aren't historical/written sources. What is known comes from third

That's a very interesting point. We tend to think genealogically about these things. I said "Scots is descended from northumbrian" and that Ulster Scots is spoken in NI. But irl... dialects are porous. They don't really

Scots is an English dialect, descended from Northumbrian English. The dialect is arguably alive in some locales, including some places northern Ireland. To me, the dividing line is code switch. There are rural pubs and such where people wil

Imo... even if they win this, they still lose. Requiring companies to do things they don't want to do... has limits. It's hard to prevent them from doing a crap job. The actual "solution" is radically reducing copyright

I don't think it's disillusionment with the tech. Consumers barely touch the tech. It's disillusionment with the marketing I think this goes beyond just consumers. If you listen in on a random companies' strategic plan

I think you're right. API strategies are being reviewed because AI training data. That said... I think API policies are also vestiges of a defunct idea set that prevailed circa 2009. At that time, "twitter is a protocol." API

Good comment. As a side note... It's interesting how "more advertising opportunity" is a well that never runs dry. You would think this tops out at some point. That advertiser's won't just spend more and more foreve

Yeah but this is more like " plan a minor disturbance of a high profile event. Get caught and galvanize the public to arm your enemies. " It doesn't erode trust in the western system.

Well written. It kinda had to be this way, I think. There's a something from nothing problem. Douglas Adams brilliantly starts at this point. We don't understand something from nothing. We don't even have the language to desc

Also social implications. Imo, humans are hard wired to care about relative social standing. Income is a measure/indicator of social standing, among other things. Ideologically, we're resistant to the idea that we care about our r

I should have said "curious to see a gaggle of Italian teenagers speaking sign." A demo is a demo.

I'm curious to see Italian Sign Language now. I bet it's way bigger and more urgent than most.

There are definitely examples of individuals, institutions and such not living up to expectations. That said, a "black pill" conclusion that the precise opposite is universally true is even sillier. Going back to the context...

Ooh! it can almost fold a shirt. Shade aside, robotics is so damned hard. The current under/over for godlike superintelligence before a robot that can make sandwiches and work the laundry machine... So unintuitive.

So... In some senses, I think internet culture (maybe modern intellectual culture generally) gets stuck in these repetitive conversations. Reprosecuting without seemingly knowing about all the previous times the conversation has been had.

Some lovely ideas. "Lies" is nice and provocative, but I think it's potentially limiting as you develop these ideas out. A recursive lie to children, perhaps. I feel that it's quite relevant for anyone who wants to lear

Yes, but also.... Phalic symbolism is a source of inspiration for all. Also, it's a cosmic balance for all the triangle engineering of ancient times.
