I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me, and it'll happen to you, too. https://www.tuffyinspringfield.com

Unbundled research, T+1, decimalized stock prices but sure everything is unequivocally better now. You people are just telling on yourselves

in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

At some point, in the not to distant future, we’re gonna look back at the era of content creators holding lav mics and cringe so hard

These look a lot better on actual people and not mannequins. I think I might actually like them? Definitely appreciate the attempt at a throwback (though I would have made it the interpro only jersey)

we have spent more than 5x what China has spent on AI if strategically I wanted to crush a sovereign rival, convincing them to reorient their entire economy so that all growth comes from a technological dead end - or really just does not justify the investment - it would be pretty smart

I can keep two thoughts in my head at the same time: 1) that AI poses serious ethical and social questions that cannot be brushed aside in the name of "progress", and 2) that we can't simply cede leadership in AI development to China. Each can be true without invalidating the other.
