oh wow I had no idea.

it's insane to me that the Biden administration sat on all this for four fucking years. what are we supposed to conclude from that. what kinds of conclusions.

as foretold by basically every critic of self-driving cars. and this is the case for all machine learning technologies. they can only do 90% of the work and expect the human expert to take over for the complicated bits, but after so long depending on a machine, the human is no longer an expert.

lmao

what a cool guy, thanks, The New York Times!!

the reason executives are pushing AI so hard is they've always **hated** that they need people who can actually do things. people who can draw, sing, write, code, dance, film. people with taste who can pick colors and design spaces and draw. People who know how to edit footage and audio, who know things about lighting and languages, who can do research and analyze laws and regulations.

this is optimistic imo. Germany never recovered its place in the academic world after fascism.

man John Mulaney was so good when he was on drugs.

we were re-watching Stranger Things and my kid commented on the poor quality of the flashlights as maybe a way to ramp up the drama and i had to point out that no, serious, flashlights were **fucking terrible** in the 1980s, if anything the show **overstates** the effectiveness of flashlights back then, they **fucking sucked** kids who grew up in an LED world have **no** idea how bad we used to have it for flashlights.
