Once flick gets its way it's basically game over for democracy. Unless our judiciary gets serious about what started with 9/11, authoritarianism is inevitable. This actually is my primary candidate for the great filter.

Any country that competently adopts Ukrainian drone technology cannot effectively be invaded currently. And that's for a continental invasion. Taiwan? All surface ships are sitting ducks. Troop transport ships would get absolutely deci

It's totalitarianism really that difficult to concept for you to grasp? Personal data is okay. Authoritarian government data is very very very bad

Software was a mirror of human science. It was a gradual accumulation of conserved code and useful components of software and architecture. With AI, everything is one-off code, and removes the impetus to make software as a whole easier for

Have you lived in a truly, totalitarian system? Have we really all forgotten from 1984? I get no one reads but come on. I don't see anyone moving to Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, etc from the United States of America. Just like I

You know all that shit you feel compelled to buy? You know that house that's about 2000 to 3,000 square feet more than you need? And all that excess food you eat that turned you into a fat ass? That car you drive that is three feet to

The Elon buttlicker types praise llms as the new knowledge gods. The general public distrusts them cuz they know that they're coming for their jobs. But they will use them out of convenience

I wish they'd buy the carcass of Keybase from Zoom. It seems very similar to Tailscale: immense utility from a free-tier product for the general public, which leads to trust and a large enterprise market.

The primary goal of women on these apps is to get attention. Even those two piddly characters are that dopamine jolt that is the main thing women want. But the shut-in social engineering and ragebait gender wars being actively fomented on s

FOR NOW. People, police states are about two classes of people: the police, and you. What is remarkable about this story is that something happened to them. Now were they prosecuted for any of a hundred laws they probably broke? No.

What is striking to me now that we are three years into the LLM revolution is ... there is no foundational software that has resulted. I keep asking where the good software is now that the miracle of LLM programming has entered the firmamen

There were a lot of amoral programmers. I'm not saying programmers as a whole are morally untouchable. But I would say the engineering barrier and the nerd barrier did provide some amount of sociopathic resistance in the world. Llms ar
