The world desperately needs a strategic reserve of open source software, and we don't have what we need yet. Can we pressure people in places like the EU to develop this stuff?

Now I'm imagining asking fans of violent video games if they like real-life violence. "Hey, know what's better than Grand Theft Auto V? A real shootout with the police!"

A friend of mine shared a link to your "tape bacon to the cat" post and I've been reading you ever since.

We didn't lose this many planes back when we had DEI. Just saying.

Good gods, not now. Not this. Not a war between nuclear powers. Please, not this.

Don't forget to blow in the cartridge a little before putting it back.

Sorry about that. Just trying to clearly state my thoughts so that we can figure out where we agree and where we still disagree. If I'm being patronizing, that's a flaw and I apologize.

That's a fair summary. As an example, AI can currently craft very convincing examples of what a legal citation would sound like, but it can't generate an actual legal citation because it lacks the capacity to know what those are. Very smart and very fast in one VERY limited area of thought.

Again, I disagree, but only to a point. As I see it, probabilistic modeling IS a kind of useful thinking, and AI does that very quickly. The trouble is that's about all that modern AI can do. Ask it to do anything else and you get inevitably stupid results.

Ask it to perform deep thought, and it wildly extrapolates without real analysis. The result is both weird and stupid. Not even good enough for a passing thought, let alone a term paper (or a legal paper, as we have seen).

I disagree, but only to a point. AI does some thinking quickly and efficiently, but it lacks the deeper thought required for a good term paper. It knows many surface-level facts, but it does not know that it does not know many important things. It makes things up because it thinks it should.

Is there some way we could persuade you to do it next year? Maybe start a "Help Ursula Vernon Write a Visual Novel" fund or something?

Exact quote from Trump: "And I'm going to use that bill for myself too, if you don't mind, because nobody gets treated worse than I do online, nobody." That should have been the kiss of death for Democratic support for this bill, but they went forward with it anyway.

Plugging kids into AI for educational purposes is trusting their education to a Stupidity Assembly Line. This must be stopped.
Thank you for sounding the alarm on this, Chuck. We need everyone to speak out against this madness.

Modern AI has become smart in many important ways, but it remains very stupid in many important ways, and the speed with which it operates enables it to be recklessly stupid at a scale never before seen in human history. This is even worse than lying plagiarism, as if that wasn't bad enough.

At long last, every movie we watch can be as incomprehensible as the Star Wars Holiday Special.

So keep fighting the good fight out there, and don't rest until Trump is out and the government is once again bound by the chains of law. #FreeAbrego

Don't let this happen. Don't skip over this as a "distraction", Democrats. Stand up, for your own safety if nothing else. The law is a shield for all of us, and Trump must not be allowed to pierce that shield. We don't just deserve our day in court. We deserve the protection we get after that.

That's why we have to push back so hard against this, starting with the case of Abrego. Trump and company want to completely overrule the courts, becoming a law unto themselves. They want the protection of the courts to be worthless. They want no one to be out of the reach of their power.

The Trump administration doesn't just want to withhold due process (though that is already bad enough!). They don't just want to deport people or lock them up without considering the evidence (though, again, that is bad enough!). They want to actively go against due process. They want to destroy it.

Abrego had appeared before a court, and the court had ruled that he could stay. He had a court order forbidding him from being sent to El Salvador. He was checking in with ICE, as he was legally required to due. He had already been processed.
They sent him to El Salvador anyway.
