Bombing doesn’t bring democracy. Troops on the ground can’t impose democracy. Long term occupation doesn’t make democracy. The people have to want to change - a hard lesson from history.

the tiktokification of Formula 1 and the cultivation of a new fanbase especially in women has been pretty amazing to see. I doubt that's gonna happen in endurace racing as it's a lot more anoraky, just as much interesting stuff and the racing is better though.

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda
