ELIZA's creator was so alarmed by the fact that people mistook the chatbot for a sentient being that he wrote an entire book about why this implementation of computer technology was a huge problem and it is a staggering achievement

FRPG Player Tip: Never be afraid to jump in if youโ€™ve got easy access to a mechanic or a bit of lore a player or GM is seeking. Do you know a rule with certain clarity? Do you have your book open to the section someone else is poring over? Say so, and shortcut the time it takes to look things up.

The Central Lie of Prediction Markets Polymarket and Kalshi promise the wisdom of the crowds. They deliver something very different.

Wrote about the central lie of prediction markets. How they are the perfect technology for a low-trust society, simultaneously exploiting and reifying an environment in which believing the motives behind any person or action becomes harder. www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...
