At the time it was basically Reddit for stupid people. All of those people moving to Reddit was the beginning of Reddit’s long slow decline.

And monetized it and completely mismanaged it to shit to the point the whole user base migrated to Reddit.

You want to save your PR points for the genocide, y’know?

This is definitely part of the issue, not sure why people are downvoting this. That’s also why tests like this are important, to illustrate that thinking in the way we know it isn’t happening in these models.

There are a lot of people out there that think LLM’s are somehow reasoning. Even reasoning models aren’t really doing it. It important to do demonstrations like this in the hopes that the general public will understand the limitations of this tech.

It’s nice to see The Talking Heads getting caught up on their to-do list

5. Immediate halt of all military aid to Israel and breaking of the humanitarian aid blockade to Gaza

Interesting, I didn’t find this info. Gonna go research now.

Does all this even matter after the courts overturned the tariffs?

Read the post. I said paying people to do it should be illegal. I don’t say organizing should be illegal.

There’s only one Jeff Bezos. If he can’t hire people, it’s only what he can do himself in his spare time. We greatly outnumber him, even if we are only doing it in our spare time.

You can form groups without paying people. This ensures people actually care about the cause rather than just doing it for the money.

Banning lobbying isn’t banning organizing. It’s banning rich people being able to put their giant thumbs on the levers of democracy.

I think that if it was impossible to get paid for it, they could just petition the government themselves and get a lot better results. Lobbying will always tilt the field in the direction of people with more money over those with less.

I believe the ACLU mostly fields lawsuits against those doing the oppression. But my feeling is that lobbying is on balance such a negative force fielded 95% by the ultra wealthy to further their agenda, that I’d be okay with losing the other 5% that had a positive impact. Those causes could easily be taken up by individuals and unfunded groups and have a much better chance of getting heard.

Anyone making money to lobby government should be thrown in jail.

It wasn’t an idea that I thought was fun or could change the world

As someone who has to file every year though I haven’t lived there for a quarter century, this is true. But I still pay $1000 a year and considerable time for US tax prep.

Once I weighed rhe cloud services Id lose vs the amount of stuff that breaks in upgrades (which I often don’t realize until months later), I realized that I was losing a lot more from upgrading than not upgrading.

I stopped upgrading about 6 months ago and am very happy with the decision. I had to say goodbye to some cloud services but it’s saved me a ton of time and hassle.
