They needed to have administration insiders on their team months if not years ago, not just now OpenAI, Meta, SpaceX are savvy enough to play ball, but Anthropic's public posturing and government affairs has always seemed too aloof and

NA and EU have plenty of local artisanal products. It just doesn't have the some appeal as Japan, which tends to occupy a hallowed spot in the minds of educated/nerdy guys on the internet.

Yeah, IMO Musk seriously overestimated the average person's tolerance for toxic and hateful political content.

Yeah, Twitter is super big in Japan for mainstream teen and young adult users in the 18-25 city student/young professional demographic. Same with Instagram. Mastodon adjacent stuff like Misskey, Pawoo, and Mstdn got the reputation for

Honestly I don't fuck with social media that much besides my private Instagram, but there's more to it than just viral marketing. It's a pretty smooth app that appeals to people like my 18-25-ish age that feels like Twitter h

I gotta say removing political/controversial topics isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just depends on your use case and stuff. Not every platform needs to be a free speech zone—right now it feels like a pretty chill space to share fo

Ye you're probably right. I'm not against ads on principle, I just hope they do it in a way that isn't super obtrusive. I feel like they got a good thing going on with the initial hype cycle. This is like the first time Meta&

Threads is pretty chill and has a couple things going for it: my Insta followers/friends are automatically imported, no ads so far, recommendation algorithm works reasonably well (although it keeps pushing up Shaq for some reason), and

It is funny that you mention that. I've been feeling increasingly self-conscious about my own writing on the internet now because that's how I naturally write and talk, so I wonder how many people in the future are going to think

While late diagnosis of Stage III/IV CRC in young adults is tragic, both incidence and death rate of colon cancer has fallen in recent years in the U.S. as early detection (more colonoscopies) and proactive removal of pre-cancerous pol

It's the CEO/leader's job to make these decisions and to course correct when he's made a mistake. Publicly admonishing himself is, at best, a pointless display of virtue signaling. He could write 10 pages groveling for f

Unfortunately, the past several years of clinical trials have shown the amyloid beta/tau protein prion hypothesis doesn't have legs quite yet. The field is littered with failed Alzheimer's trials. Given the cost and difficult

This is a published journal article that took those covariates into account. Off-hand comments dismissing articles with a correlation vs. causation quip is so expected and tiresome, especially since you can make these comments without readi
