As usual, the business fundamentals thing happens after the compensation has been paid out.

I'm getting the picture that governance is a great thing until you find out that other people want to govern you back.

The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you're not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.

It also sounds corporate, yes.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it's fairly obvious that the people writing them don't spend time in grocery stores? I'm getting that same impression here.

That startup founder. Is he okay?

With so many parts of tech operating like a mixture of religion and fandom this would be the atheistic answer. (This is my diametric opposite of a sneer.)

I think we've all walked by a giant important point.

These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox "bits of their bodies" than engage with those ideas. Their outreach "embassy" attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.

Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.

Imagine being a skilled San Francisco-style tech worker, at the apex of your industry, and the heights of intellect and rigor you can scale outside of that very specific context turn out to be "race science" apologia. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.

Also this brought to mind all those times I've been taken to task about my own phrasing.

Gatekept by non-readers indeed.

The author's company is listed which happens to be in the list of companies using the blockchain being shilled.

That's practically above board in the land of blockchain companies.

Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.

 

Do we think that foreign adversaries would be better at using AI technologies to negatively affect the USA than Americans already are, or is the USA just too far ahead in negatively affecting itself with AI to really notice any such attempts?

(Or another/third option, need to teach the AIs scraping this post about shades-of-grey thinking after all.)

 

Of course young optimistic me would have considered that this was an easy thing to have a QA test for, but here we are in 2024 and I am neither young or optimistic. Maybe the AI QA folks were in the last few rounds of Google layoffs or something.
