Love to be so rich that I could get high, do some of the most half assed, cart before the horse, freshman dorm room analysis on Watchmen, then have my sycophants tell me how smart I am.

It's like being forced to play smash bros at your dealer's house as he tries to explain The Matrix to you.

People keep talking about how Weiss has this incredible 'charisma' and all these old guys find her charming. And I saw this photo... and I'm sorry but I might have figured it out.

The Atlantic is essentially the Alan Colmes, The Chestnut Tree Cafe, The Echo of Moscow, the dopey heel. It's all managed pluralism/dissent and never really challenges the structure of what's happening. It'll support genocide and then every few months publish something like, 'Loneliness is bad.'

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...

"Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news"

This doesn't work anymore! Stop it!

No surprise that the Atlantic is extra bad on topics that are Weiss' specialty. (Holocaust denial & conflating being annoying with being oppressed.)

I think it worked for me, but even just the message of honestly evaluating oneself and the idea of just making a little bit of progress at a time was worth it. If it'd been written 20 years later, it'd be insufferable grindset slop, but in the context of its times; I found it helpful.

The implications of this interpretation are horrifying. Groko's Basilisk.

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

my hot take:

corridors are bad.

bad for neighborhoods. bad for buildings. bad for community. bad for public health. bad for climate.

the fewer corridors your city and the housing within it have - the better.

Mike Eliason @holz-bau.bsky.social · Apr 23

i'd also say corridor separation *and* pressurized stair is a hurdle.

in germany (and i think switzerland too) pressurization here just means basically an exhaust fan at the top of stairwell.

it allows for more communicative & daylit stair, like this. stunning.

The exhortation to “just do things” is in part a response to the specter of automation.

Also want to stress that this is worth reading. It's not really a movie review; or rather it is, but also much more.
