Seriously, even if this were legal, what's the plan? Machine gun anyone acting weird in public?

holy shit i flew over it as it happened!

The three AI outcomes
- we all become one with the machine god and shuffle off our mortal coils to live as a hive mind of cyborg superbeings
- we all die horribly and painfully in an alien world that has no use for human emotion, creativity, or intellect
- 1.5% TFP growth for seven years

Now that I'm settled in at @umasschan.bsky.social, I'm hiring at all levels: grad students, post-docs, and software engineers/bioinformaticians!

The goal of my lab is to understand the regulatory role of every nucleotide in our genomes and how this changes across every cell in our bodies.

His campaign is juiceless if this is what they're resorting to.

ai2 is pretty consistently the most serious about open sourcing things that are useful for research imho

Good start. Next move should be moving the corporate HQ back to Seattle.

Fascinated by this common move of implying special privileges are owed for living somewhere longer.

There was a point where he seemed to really care about preserving the court's appearance of the credibility and legitimacy, but seemed to have abandoned even that in the last few years.

A very small croissant with a quarter for scale.

Working on a die shrink at the croissant fab. The goal is to get to 2 nanometers and take on TSMC.

A lot of people were concerned about it in 2020!

Starmerism will totally work here, trust us!

From their perspective, why bother taking on Pritzker when there are hundred other cities and institutions that will instantly cave

Wouldn't want to be too hasty building housing on empty land in short walking distance to numerous amenities and transit!

Thanks! Ready for a Schattenfroh readthrough!

Ahh, never finished the sequel. Al Queda crossing the Rio Grande to suicide bomb blonde-haired blue-eyed children at walmart in the opening scene was a little too goofy to handle

Didn't actually realize who wrote the screenplay, but that totally tracks...

They also think the point of Sicario is that it's really cool to send troops into to Mexico illegally to kill indiscriminately and that doesn't at all morally compromise you.

"then one fine day the bourgeoisie is awakened by a terrific boomerang effect: the gestapos are busy, the prisons flll up, the torturers standing around the racks invent, refine, discuss. People are surprised, they become indignant. They say: 'How strange! But never mind-it's Nazism, it will pass!'"

Aimé Césaire stays undefeated: "colonization works to decivilize the colonizer, to brutalize him in the true sense of the word, to degrade him, to awaken him to buried instincts, to covetousness, violence, race hatred, and moral relativism..."

This is very clearly Andreessen thought being channeled through him.

This is the funnier, thus more likely outcome. He'll be drooling and falling over at press conferences, which the press will describe as "unconventional "

It's one of those policies that's in retrospect so obviously the right way to do things that it'd very hard to back.

If no one wanted to live in those buildings they wouldn't get built! Does she think developers just drop 20 million on a building without doing any market research?

Sure, but if I just get everything right on the first shot, it won't be an issue!

2 bits of data from new Economist/YouGov poll.....

13% support for cutting research funding to universities. 24% among Republicans. Polling on this continues to be catastrophic for the Rs, suggests Dems should be learning far harder into standing up for science and our universities. 1/
