I think this is a great write-up about the good and the not so good.

Life Is More Than an Engineering Problem | Los Angeles Review of Books Julien Crockett speaks with Ted Chiang about the search for a perfect language, the state of AI, and the future direction of technology.

I've been lucky enough to be challenged by Ted Chiang about AI, technology, capitalism, and philosophy myself and this article is an important read. I think it's crucially important to balance any technological pursuit with the philosophical implications it carries.

β€œWokeness” is just standing up for everyone’s right to the pursuit of happiness. I can’t think of anything more American than that. If you’re so unhappy you want others to be as wretched as you, I feel sorry for you, but don’t tread on everyone else.

Any chance I can contribute something to the Urbanist about this as a resident? Would love to share some pro-housing love from I guess unfortunately a NIMBY stronghold.

Really excited to have gotten to canvass for this initiative. This is such a well thought out solution.

They don't! I love them, and there's plenty of room for more. Especially on the corner of 34th and Union at that abandoned ugly building with parking that nobody uses...

Thanks for sending this! We need more housing everywhere!

As a Madrona resident for 15 years, I'm pretty upset to hear this. Already emailed City Council. We need more housing!

I’m just going to try to do my part to help and protect the people I can.

Unrelated: I have a whole lot of intelligent agents just kind of idling…
