Really disappointed with the level of credulity shown in The Last Invention podcast. "A lot of us think of the chatbot as the AI, but actually the chatbot was designed as a window into the AI" is not a true or useful statement about ChatGPT.

After all, why shouldn't we seize the means of production. As a treat.

I dunno, I feel like if they got an Apple higher-up on the phone and asked them about this, the answer wouldn't be "yes, we have our production in China due to the clever fingers of young Chinese ladies"

Hard for me to imagine any audience receptive to this, but surely it isn't the email subscribers of an independent theater chain?

Gotta hand it to Venmo, the very best place to learn that someone you slept with once in college twenty years ago just paid a friend for "fresh salt"

This is it. You cannot explain in polite conversation that the higher echelons of US policy making are on personal terms with something called Bronze Age Pervert without yourself sounding like a maniac

one of my favorite running storylines in culture is that people treat JAMES BOND as a franchise full of classic, beloved movies that has only recently lost its way, when the reality is that literally almost every single movie in the history of the franchise sucks.
