Worst aspect of JRPGs is this visual style

Problem for a lot of text based systems. I think we have also gotten worse at job matching because of the incentives of online job boards/ATS and LLMs have made it worse. No idea how you fix it anymore.

Sometimes I just want to outsource the process of initially finding connections to people to someone who can find and make me get involved because getting started is the hardest part.

Assuming that the text we generate is a good proxy for how we behave outside of text environments which is a big assumption

My “don’t worry about China, it will all be fine” shirt has people asking a lot of questions that are already answered by my shirt

A tweet from Donald Trump that reads “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! President DJT”

Bari is MAGA with some throat clearing. She is Ben Shapiro if he had the behind the scenes political connections to get hired at NYT.

Perry Bacon @perrybaconjr.bsky.social · 4d

Weiss very intentionally does not describe herself as a conservative or Republican and wraps her politics in terms like "free press." That makes more useful at advancing Trumpism than explicitly right-wing figures. newrepublic.com/article/2014...

MAGA Lite: What “Bari Weiss Conservatism” Is, and Why It’s Dangerous

The new CBS executive isn’t exactly MAGA. But her polite Trumpism will still help destroy America as we know it.

They do book tour interviews regularly usually they try to limit answering questions to just what is in the book

His recent biography paints him as someone who thinks he is better and smarter than everyone else so the rules don't apply to him. Getting into Stanford just reinforced the idea in his mind. He has always been a piece of shit who reads his own ideas of superiority into everything else.

She has never published an article she does not personally agree with and even when shown that egregious factual errors have been published does not issue corrections. Her entire ethos is contrary to the news.

economymedicine.bsky.social @economymedicine.bsky.social · 1h

Bari has never covered the news she has run opinion pieces and when the work she has published has made glaring factual errors has refused to issue corrections. She is good at marketing herself to a select audience that is all.

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

economymedicine.bsky.social @economymedicine.bsky.social · 1h

You could build a decent EA vs Virtue ethics thing out of Watchmen instead of whatever Thiel is doing. Thiel's read is basically (to the extent that it is coherent) that like Viedt and Christ he has been chosen by his intelligence/innate specialness to permanently transform the world.

Tolkien would have loathed everything about Thiel and Thiel will never understand why.

Yes, Thiel said, perking up. "There are all
these ways where trying to live
unnaturally long goes haywire" in
Tolkien's works. But you also have the
elves. "And then there are sort of all these
questions, you know: How are the elves
different from the humans in Tolkien?
And they're basically
- I think the main
difference is just, they're humans that
don't die
"Why can't we be elves?" he said.
