A theory that I have is that AI Chatbots are so impressive - the core ability to have a sophisticated conversation with an entity about any topic - that people are bad at understanding its limitations. If prior to LLMs, Siri was like 10,00

I do feel like there are some ideas growing on the right that I could find appealing; many of the ideas listed here could come out of Bernie Sanders mouth, and I’m open to rational conversations on issues like immigration. I remember watch

This was interesting, because I guess I would have thought that the problem was that social media was cannibalizing the audience for theater comedies, and it seems like maybe the answer is more complicated. I think the cracker barrel fiasco

How did we get here? How is this not wall to wall on the news? Why isn’t the religious right more upset about this? Why isn’t Mark already in front of Congress? This is bananas.

Do you regularly use chatGPT as a voice assistant? Like, I kind of wonder what else I might want SIRI to do that isn’t hard. I would like it to occasionally summarize facts like who was the president of France in 1975, and I might use it f

If you want me to take you seriously, you have to realize that no serious finance expert says “stocks”, it’s “stonks”.

Interesting Google-Gemini-2.5-pro seems to bias towards artists early in the alphabet and artists who’s names are alliterations. And yeah, grok-3 seem reasonable if not boring and grok-4 is bananas. moonshotai-kimi-vl-thinking seems to like

How do they reject DEI? I would be skeptical of any school so deep in the culture war it was one of the two ways you could describe them. Focus on academics. Also how do they reject inclusion? Do they teachers tell the kids “you don’t b

This is the dumbest advice I’ve ever read, and ironically, probably in and of itself makes those degrees more valuable.

Privatize it. If I want the road in front of my house fixed, I'll pay for it, I can get a pool membership, gym membership, or other amenities ad-hoc. Fuck the HoA.

“ if the main draw of "AI" is better thought of as entertainment.” Crazy is true, but that would somewhat follow most tech advancements right?

Do most border crossings happen during the day? Also - does black painted metal get significantly hotter than raw metal? Couldn’t the black paint act as an insulator and actually hold and release the heat itself? Also does it heat to a hi

This needs to be way better sourced. I'd say it's 50/50 good points but 50/50 is basically useless. Lots of "exponential growth, power law dynamics (some that are specifically not true, METR growth is still growin

Something I wonder about the percent of code - I remember like 5-10 years ago there was a series of articles about Google generating a lot of their code programmatically, I wonder if they just adapted their code gen to AI. I bet Google has

While there’s no reasonable way to disagree with the sentiment, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who can “think and decompose problems” who isn’t also widely read, and knows a lot of things. Forcing kids to sit and memorize facts isn’t su

Statistically, yes, emotionally? No. Like there are hands at poker it is logical to go all in on, that one would probably not go all in on if your life was at stake. You can theoretically always rebuild a bank roll. But because it’s all

I don't think that Silicon Valley's / NY Tech's primary concern about Mamdani is rent control. You think NY Tech CEO's are pro rent control for a reason Silicon Valley CEO's aren't?
