Tim Harford mentioned this in his 2016 book “Messy”.

They just wanna call it AI and make it sound like some mysterious intelligence we can’t comprehend.

Four-dimensional hyperphone

They said we were suppressing the competition. And to that I say: What competition?

Tell people what they wanna hear, and min-max a handful of variables while ignoring any context or consequences?

Dodge accountability through opaque decision-making processes?

Yeah, a lot of these skills are lining up.

Depends on your definition of “well adjusted”. And “proud”, for that matter.

If you want to build a better world, you do need to also build a better self. Part of that is recognizing the difference between self-love vs. selfishness, and contentment vs. distraction.

Building a shelter doesn’t make the storm go away. But it does mean that when it really pours, you have room to take care of others instead of them needing to take care of you.

Meh. TechDirt is great for privacy stuff, but market analysis isn’t their wheelhouse.

I think Vision Pro pretty much accomplished what Apple wanted from it.

Tech press kept comparing it to “the iPhone moment”, but that’s ridiculous. It’s a dev kit.

A dev kit with the best hardware, at a lower price than the second-best, and a more mature OS than anything else out there.

We’ll have to see how it evolves from here, but it’s a perfectly fine first step. Not everything is for you.

It’s a pretty well-tuned signal of distress.

It’s only noticeable up-close, so enemies or predators aren’t likely to notice.

It’s pretty expensive to do, so you’re not going to spam it. Your body takes a while to make more tears, and you need those to keep your eyes comfortable.

It does a good job of making you harmless so others know it’s safe to help you. It’s hard to see through teary eyes, and hard to coordinate muscles when you’re shuddering from sobs.

People saying “They already use every other bit of data they can access, why do you naive optimists think they wouldn’t use the most obvious one?”

People saying “They already use every other bit of data they can access, why do you naive optimists think they would need to use the most expensive one?”

If you get the washer, don’t slack on safety. That shit’ll mess you up in a millisecond.

Did yall read the article?

I think it’s a bad idea in general, currently being produced in unethical ways by people with unethical aims, consistently failing to deliver on a tenth of what was promised and already ruining a lot of stuff despite its frailty.

Whatever Primer did, cuz that movie scratches my brain real good.

Why has there been no progress on this? Schedule more meetings!

They have to fix the metagame around the Patriarchy skill tree.

It was an interesting idea to have a build centered around mild debuffs to yourself and worse debuffs to those around you, but at this point it’s just a race to the bottom and it’s ruined the balance of everything else as a result.

Yeah, it’s like “Half-Life 3 Confirmed”

They haven’t worked on that content in like 2000 years, Idk if anyone even knows how to work with that part of the codebase anymore

Any judgment of “best” needs to specify “for what use case?”

I’m a MacOS daily driver, and I think it is the best for most of the use cases that matter to me.

But not all of them. And my use cases could easily change a little bit and make MacOS a miserable choice to stick with.

Everything is a trade-off.

Edit: And as for closed source security, I hope nobody seriously makes that argument anymore, do they?
