this idea that ones twitter replies represent ANYTHING of note is a good example of how social media can fry the brains of the weak willed
the thing about the Free Press types is that when you push them on their actual ideology, it's NIMBYism

We really do need to re-normalize the idea of calling out shitty people to their faces and then refusing to engage with their idiocy.

tonight while recording a guest spot on a podcast i experienced an unacceptable level of disrespect from one of the hosts. so i decided to do what felt right for me and i left. i didn’t need to stick around to show i’m “tough” or “thick skinned.” i reminded myself that no one is owed my time.

All these arguments about how the stuff we have is obsolete ignore how badly other countries want what we have.
You know who doesn't think drones can replace cruise missiles? Ukraine.
You know who doesn't think carriers and next gen fighters are obsolete? China.

This is a wild framing.

Ken Okuyama's mechanical design is really wild. He works for Ferrari and Mitsubishi designing cars, but he's got a VERY unique sense of mecha joint design.

They believe in nothing, and will say anything which furthers their goals. They will say the most shockingly evil things purely because the horror you feel shuts you up which was what they actually wanted.

It's got less spyware. It doesn't have a subscription. It has buttons. It generally works and if not is easier to repair. It's not as easy to get hacked. They don't get constant pop ups and ads.
They're fucking right too. Tech has just become rent seeking bloatware.

Recalled today that the promise of AI to videogames was "generate a fully personalized boundless game from a prompt" and yet remains stuck at "shoehorn ChatGPT into development". The claim of unlimited, instantaneous, bespoke computing attached to the generation of chunks of content is ridiculous.
unfortunately, this paragraph of the manifesto is not correct in any way whatsoever.
no existing thing sold as "AI" does this at all. the marketers lie that it does, and then it doesn't.
anyone signing this manifesto, ask them for the software that does this.
