Iโ€™m watching a thread of people who are demanding 1) an email service alternative to Proton, 2) that doesnโ€™t use AI, and promises to never use AI, 3) is privacy-focused (that means no ads), and finally, is 4) completely free

If I were RFK I donโ€™t think I would give talks lamenting how a culture that once led the world in science became less productive after takeover by ideological extremists

If you are still on the โ€œcheap Chinese models will take share from US labsโ€ cope train you need to get off. US labs are now distilling their own models to compete across the Pareto frontier, so Haiku is better model than Kimi at 1/8th the cost. The only reason to use it is if you MUST self-host.

The bad news is we're going to have to rebuild the whole stack. The good news is that we get to rebuild the whole stack.

All of the โ€œai canโ€™t have an original thoughtโ€ people are just repeating something they heard someone else say

I really, really hope stuff like the Anthropic IPO and folks like Miyamoto coming out in defense of AI can help us proceed to a point where more of us can work together to solve the drawbacks of this incredible new technology rather than have half the people who should help pretend it'll disappear

a lot of them honestly remind me of climate change deniers, just an absolute refusal to consider that maybe all of this hard scientific work people were doing was real and not just smoke & mirrors

smoked haters got absolutely smoked on the facts because the entire movement against AI power is built on fruit of a poisoned tree opposing the growing and dangerous power of AI (and its purveyors) requires reckoning with the reality of how it works, not plugging your ears pretending it doesn't

Funny how having an inherent respect for human behavior can protect you from this. Not that I agree with all human behavior but that I think it generally has a point to it and "the whole world is stupider than me" is a bad distortion on analysis

I can absolutely see it. I've seen trans women and men on bluesky get *INTENTIONALLY* deadnamed for... being pro AI. By rightwing chuds? NO. BY OTHER TRANS FOLKS

my nuclear-grade AI hot take thatโ€™s sure to get me cancelled until kingdom come is that refusing to use AI at all is rapidly becoming an extremely privileged lifestyle choice that feels social justice-y while actually being the complete opposite

being anti AI is a luxury belief only available to first world people, especially Americans imagine how important machine translation is for people whose first languages aren't that common

Every news story is like โ€œDSA-backed candidates win big in municipal elections; National Hoe-Scaring Committee furious, demands answersโ€

Vituperative Erb@vituperativeerb.bsky.social

My vague sense of DSA dynamics is that the folks I know in local chapters are like earnest lefties and the things I see on here about the national folks make them seem like insane cosplayers

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

These people donโ€™t want to win; they donโ€™t even want to persuade. They want a world where they are a pure and rarified elite, with none of the responsibilities of actual power, only the smug gratification of being right.

Dawg we are talking about 1966, no American white working man was suddenly getting left high and dry by deindustrialization or austerity or recession The only โ€œradical shift in the material conditionsโ€ was โ€œyou have to let black people into your school/office/shop/apartment block nowโ€

It's my dad's middle name, and he wanted me to have it as a first name because he thought it would make me stand out. No way I could get rid of it. I always liked my name, even if I hated being a boy going back to kindergarten.

The Hard Hat Riot is the single most important and consequential independently organized labor action in post-Gilded Age American history but the entire left-of-center has deliberately chosen to completely forget it because of how utterly embarrassing it is to us

I am #lookingforwork Do you need someone whoโ€™s good with AI language models, likes speaking to politicians about tangible risk rather than sci fi risk, or a defense geek who likes flying robots? Well Iโ€™m your guy! My signal is NoahW.03 I can legally work in both the United States and Canada.
