I’m somewhat curious about the “local maxima” risk in near-to-mid of this. Sort of like Google taking traffic away from the sites upon which it relies.

If “no-one” is left to create anything genuinely “new”, and AIs won’t be able to for a while, do we actually risk stagnation?

Oh, and this isn’t to suggest Mandelson was somehow “innocent until corrupted”

I don’t know if it’s possible to explain, but with your public profile and, for want of a better word, “fame” do you see how these corrupting influences emerge and can get their hooks into people? Do you find you have to be on guard yourself?

My only slight critique of that headline is that “no it won’t” is a much more thoughtful and considered counter than we ever actually got

Totally not your point nor even a worthwhile observation, but gotta stan those still fighting the “videogame” is one word fight.

Like my inverted controls, I am ashamed to have given-up this fight too.

Maybe least among the many, many truly awful things this administration has done is making me somewhat sympathetic to big pharma in a few very specific circumstances…

Is there any legal remedy for an administration that is so consistently found to be in violation of the constitution for doing things like this, or is the only way to hold them accountable a political one, like impeachment?

I feel like primaries are a form of political partisan “audience capture”.

Absolutely, and I know you’re not implying this but I feel like it is essentially right now to reinforce that they would’ve been no less deserving of dignity if they weren’t first responders and weren’t able to help the agent.
