Philosophy is great because you start out thinking you're gonna answer all the hard questions and you end up thinking you can't even ask them.

My prediction: ChatGPT is not going to make you immortal.

The Spectator remains the king of absolutely braindead takes.

BREAKING: This U.S. born citizen was deported to Mexico in April. During a traffic stop, Brian Morales told immigration officers that he was born in Colorado, and offered to show his birth certificate. They refused to listen and deported him. Today, he’s back in Texas.

I have been released by the Oakland Raiders due to torn penis muscles, suffered while celebrating a great punt by a teammate. Dr. James Andrews sewed up all my penis muscles. I want to thank Oakland. They knew my penis muscles were a house of cards but still gave me a chance.

This is so horrendous and upsetting. The consequences of the climate crisis being felt often by those who have done the least to cause it. Thinking tonight of all those affected and what we're doing to the world.

Clarkson in 2009 vs Clarkson in 2026 Oh no, if it isn’t the consequences of my own rhetoric

This paper gives a fancy name to a problem you can already feel in your bones "The Tragedy of the Cognitive Commons." Checking AI output requires deep expertise. Deep expertise comes from doing grunt work for years. And grunt work is the first thing AI eats So we're building systems that need expert supervision while dismantling the only known process for making experts The paper calls the shared pool of human expertise the "cognitive commons." Every profession drinks from it. Nobody's refilling it. By eliminating junior roles, each company is acting totally rationally, and the collective result: a profession that can't catch AI's mistakes anymore because it never learned to do the work in the first place Who checks AI's homework in 15 years?

Up until ~10 years ago, most boreal forest lightening strikes and human ignitions fell on damp ground, often damp from recent snow melt. Climate change has transformed this, turning the northern half of North America into a giant tinder box, where even the soil carbon can burn.

One problem with "you shouldn't review the code" is that when I review the code, even with the extremely thorough agentic coding system I have set up, I still regularly find things that should never ever ever ever be shipped, even though it technically works. I don't know when I will be able to ship sight-unseen, but that time is nowhere near right now.

A journalist who can't admit he was wrong shouldn't be trusted.

City people can be insufferable... You live in a Tower and you complain?? In a Tower, as a god would??

oh my god inflicting ai tutors on the poorest in society, when their effects are so little understood, is the height of irresponsibility. this government has been entirely captured by the tech industry
