It’s interesting me the difference between people who see holocracy/libertarianism as freedom and those that see it as oppressive. I’m very independent in my job but having no managers feels like it would be a burocratic nightmare. I

One of the questions I’ve been wondering in talks of decentralization is how do you balance freedom to move with self-government. Ot seems inevitable that if you put two states next to each other, a libertarian low tax state and a more pro

You think so? I think Musk has mastered the art of the over promise and under deliver and as long as he delivers something in October even if it’s just a small refresh on his cars, and FSD beta v13, people will be fine with it. I think li

I asked ChatGPT to develop and image of the founding fathers, and it was strikingly similar to the image on the Wikipedia page. Same color scheme, same layout, it was clearly directly encoded into the network or whatever. So for one, I ju

While I am a morbidly curious individual who would love to see one of these “too big to fail entities fail”, I don’t know that I share your confidence. And I don’t know that it’s taking responsibility either, if you let them fail, the pain

But if we prosecute Boeing’s executives, what message would that send to other executives? That they shouldn’t sacrifice safety engineering standards in the pursuit of record profits? Will no one think of the shareholders!

Oh god no, that’s definitely in the cynically written in bad faith hacky partisan politics category. Maybe it just hasn’t aged well, but I couldn’t get through it.

I keep seeing people say you can’t stop progress (social, technical, etc.) but has this really been tested? There seems to be a lot of political upheaval at least being threatened on the near future, and depending on the forces that come i

I wonder if the inevitable conclusion of this is further consolidation so like openai buys Reuters or something - AI companies end up also becoming the publishing companies because the only way to make money off of novel material is if it’s

I don’t think I fundamentally disagree with anything you said, except your conclusion, my position would be, that it’s macro forces that make news organization ABC untenable and untrustworthy. if ABC kept being ABC the pattern you noticed

I don’t know if I’m taking Kafka too literally here, but the books that I read that bite and sting probably fall into two categories. Things that are cynically written in bad faith and things that are hopeless and callous. Torture porn bi

Absolutely, my point was that if the theory I responded to were true, I would expect that the most successful new news organizations would be less biased/narrativey than the NYT. Do we see a wealth of new organizations that are that

I will say even though I disagree with this perspective, I am heartened by how optimistic it is in presuming that your fellow person wants objective credible news.

so, in this narrative, it seems like the most popular news outlets are ones that take a specific side — daily wire the young Turks. Do you think these outlets represent the “true” narrative that people are looking for? Like I’m not making
