goofy shrugging

be me, super genius autodidact

be deeply moved by the prospect of defeating death with technology, write some sick prose about it because am eloquent as fuck

proceed to punt this goal decades or centuries by helping to justify a tech bubble which consumes tons of R&D resources for no apparent benefit and will bind further resources in the future to adapt to an aggravated climate crisis, and also inspiring a slew of technofascists too dumb to tell the difference between tech that benefits mankind and tech that exploits and oppresses

The pivot-to-ai writeup is out, they did seed! I assume it's documented then.

Multinational corporations can act ethically after all.

Not my place to tell you what to post, but I would have just made a link post to your blog. I found it more pleasant to read, and gave me an incentive to poke through your backlog. Entertaining stuff!

Less meta: you just prompted me to actually remember when my Internet journey actually began. Must have been early to mid oughts, mostly playing flash games on lego.com . I remember an elementary school buddy came over one day and helped me create the Email I'd use for 15 years, and introduced me to some regional forum that went offline many years ago.

Fits a pattern I've seen before. Kinda critical of OpenAI and not buying their PR wholesale, but also accepting the framing that AI is some kind of critical foundational tech instead of another shitty magic trick.

I started liking https://izzys.casa after someone linked her meandering horror story on the C++ ecosystem on awful. All her posts seem to be written like that.

His Wikipedia article is quite a ride. Apparently he and a Stephen Chamberlain were recently found innocent for a bunch of fraud charges. They boil down to inflating the value of a SW company he sold to Hewlett-Packart. They died within a day of each other in unrelated accidents. Must be rough.

I just woke up and some nerd is staring into my soul, asking why I was rude to the spicy autocomplete. What is this? Go home world, you're drunk.

By the way, thank you Terry Pratchett for teaching me the use of Meaningful Capitalisation.

This isn't a copyright thing. This is a tech regulation thing, that creates the possibility for data protection agencies to stick their noses in AI company's business.
