just wait until you find out about watson and crick!

did microsoft just lock up a good chunk of open source behind a (stochastic (for now)) login wall?

this feels like it should violate the gpl, but i bet it doesn’t. truly devious.

there aren’t a lot of nice places hiring foreign workers en mass, and meta, google, palantir, tormentnexus, etc, offer a chance at a better life for them and their families.

the major reason to make life a hell for as many people as possible is to have this kind of leverage on them.

historian fails to understand that the company “palantir” was named by someone who, in fact, knew exactly what it meant, and it excited him.

anyone else old enough to remember when the great promise of the internet was disintermediation?

good times

exactly. he spent 30 minutes calling the irish ignorant, but the words “gulf stream” never tickled his neurons.

the extra-irony is that up until the last 10-15 years, “gulf stream” is what everyone in the usa called it, too. hank’s just so tech-pilled he can’t see anything else.

ah yes, hank green who spent an entire video chastising the citizens of ireland for being ignorant of the amoc.

what else are you supposed to do when things aren’t done properly? it’s just common sense. not racist. the migrant crisis in europe proves that, surely. i just love to look across the pond at some of their creative ideas for how to deal with people who just refuse to do things the right way. if only we also had a large sea we could just let them drown in, instead of having to spend so much money after they get here. clever stuff there from enlightened europe!

“sensibly”

are you american?

oh no, here we say “the right way”

playing a really shitty game of the prisoner’s paradox

but ai is inevitable! it can’t be stopped! it’s impossible to regulate!

he has always been like this. god, he’s one of the most consistent public figures i can think of. nothing has changed except that now you can see.

i dunno, apple has a real habit of suing for theft and losing

nate anderson, so its probably slop that slipped by. at least, that’s easier for me to understand than a human being actually writing something like that since 1980.
