I like a lot of what they're saying, but I actually find all of their redesigns to look worse than the original. I don't prefer the typeface they've selected, and their boxy buttons look two decades old. I agree that the term

I agree with this, my (possibly incorrect) line of thinking is that the same was sort of true for electric cars. At the high end there were options, but there weren't good mass market options (Tesla helped change that) You could sort o

Your summary is also ambiguous. Were they hacked by the Russian CIA equivalent? Were they hacked by people funded by the Russian government? Were they hacked by people funded by senior government officials? I think it's possible that t

I completely agree! I think it's generally related to the ai alignment problem, fwiw The trick is that we need to ban fraud aggressively and then reduce the profits from endeavors we want to discourage (not sure if there are good gener

Tbh this seems good for all of those countries (and good for Axiom!) Feels pretty win/win. I have some trepidation about letting capitalism decide our priorities in space, but so far it is helping us make really exciting progress

Of course it is! It being illegal doesn't mean Instagram is incentivized to crack down on it And if you're a tiny independent artist you also aren't well-resourced to do anything about it. (Afaict the best thing we can do is
