That’s why it’s a trap, even if everyone is always telling you how smart you are, to believe them. Much less to build a social edifice on it into the heart of your empire. Doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Real thinkers communicate honestly and clearly.
The refrain went: “Feeling brilliant is akin to feeling insane/ because it invariably involves the realization/that no matter what you’ve got to say/nobody can understand what you’re saying”
I wrote a little song about this, maybe 20 years ago. It was a silly song and I was the only one who liked it.

* THIS * IS * FASCISM *

They are threatening to replace our democratically elected leaders that WE ELECTED. And when Sen. Padilla tried to ask a question at the end of this vid, he was forcibly removed agressively by security.
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city."

Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions"

oh, ok then
An MSNBC anchor just definitively claimed Padilla didn't identify himself when video clearly shows he did. So fucking irresponsible. This is how lies spread.

welcome to the future, now your error-prone software can call the cops

Hey, kids, it’s not enough that you’ve contracted a terrible illness that can’t be cured - you have to meet the worst person alive, too.
This tbh. I promise I will eventually write up a blog about how I do what I do, too
yes. chatgpt - particularly the thinking models - are extremely good at i.e. debugging gnarly errors. significant time savings many times over.
LLMs are enough of an improvement to my workflows that i find people who call them useless really funny.
Yes they make mistakes, but so do i, and the loop to fixing those mistakes is shorter with their help.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Do not obey in advance to a wildly unpopular one term president who is currently fighting wars on multiple fronts for seemingly no reason
Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.
LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent.

Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list.

This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts.

It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

Yep. I saved hundreds or even thousands of dollars a month just from switching from Substack to self-hosted Ghost.

I pay a roughly flat $85/month now (~$75 for mailsending, $10 for hosting), vs. 10% of all my subscription income.
Former Substack creators say they’re earning more on new platforms that offer larger shares of subscription revenue
Former Substack writers who exited the platform in early 2024 are making more money on Beehiiv and Ghost thanks to their fixed pricing models.
