Maybe I jumped a bit quickly to my conclusion there. I think The Argument / Piper know that an “Ed Zitron is wrong” angle drives more traffic than just writing better AI criticism. Secondly, I don’t think she kicks the tires that well.

I think art is a lot like family - you don’t get to pick which works really resonated with you and influenced you, even if the artist turns out to be a “bad person.” And back in the day, Adams was a pretty crunchy California guy. Remember t

I’m quibbling with invasion per the Wiki definition quoted in this thread, which is different from the Kalshi one. I think the Kalshi one is bad because “intent” is not something that can be objectively defined.

This article seems to imply that the default settings are the manufacturer recommended ones for streaming movies - is that bad ux? Should Netflix be able to push recommended settings to your tv?

Are you familiar with Kevin D. Hall's Ultraprocessed food study? https://www.cell.com/cell-metabolism/pdf/S1550-4131(19)30248... They did it in a metabolic ward, so about as controlled as you can get in a die

What do you consider good pizza? American chain pizza style? You mention Neapolitan pizza, but that's typically a very wet pizza from oil and fresh mozzarella as well.

The point you're making seems similar to the argument that GMOs have a lot in common with earlier selective breeding techniques. I think the difference is that while historically grandma or restaurant chefs were biased towards repeatab

I think this underestimated the abilities of the “common white collar criminal” — there are lots of chat logs of SBF and his coconspirators saying essentially “we’re doing fraud.” Common white collar criminals say “let’s take this offline”
