He was becoming insufferable with his “free speech absolutist” nonsense

I feel glad that I canceled my Stratechery subscription last year. I used to enjoy his takes but he has become an insufferable AI booster

Looks very realistic! Is that 45mm gauge?

And this does not mention the charade that is “Euro Business class”!

In last went to Disney in 2002 and have no plans of ever visiting again!

The comments section of CalculatedRisk was my go to place during the 2005-2010 period. It was especially great when Tanta was contributing

Wishing you a happy Festivus!

This is insane- could there possibly be a more expensive way of generating power?

My all time favorite movie!

It’s absolutely the case that people are getting addicted to chatbots! Check out /r/chatgpt on Reddit- some of the postings are crazy

I’ll bet one of the AI companies did AB testing and found greater engagement despite the cringeworthy responses. (Just signed up for your show on Patreon incidentally)

The very fact that they are considered equivalent tells you that models are becoming a commodity. Cost of inference and reach are becoming more important. Google+ Apple will be ascendant

Beautiful model! Is that a Harz mountain model?

Took only 25 years 😁

Not a surprise at all. AI (in the form of LLMs) is being crammed down on to the workforce from the top management. Expect the pushback to grow

Really enjoyed this podcast episode- which is why I started following you here. I found myself agreeing with a lot of your positions

Ballasting is one of my favorite parts of building a layout!

If you have some programming skills, you could create this using an ESP32 and a relay very easily.

The latest episode of Animal Spirits was really pretty bad. You both have the shallowest possible take on the AI bubble.

Example: I spent a month reading about the history, politics and geography of Thailand to create my own itinerary for our vacation there. Read several books. Discovered many fascinating facts along the way. If something really matters to me, this is just much more valuable for me

There’s a difference between researching a subject yourself and getting a research report done by someone else or an LLM. I like the process of studying a subject and determining which sources are reliable for myself. It helps that I’m retired and don’t have any need to hurry the process.

Most people working in the cutting edge of AI seem to have no long-term plan for their unsustainable work habits.

Would be a great present for a kid!

It’s just all too easy to make illiquid investments with no guard rails!

The security aspect is definitely concerning

It’s a great interview and really liked hearing Sutton’s views.

Maybe UA could get these to replace their ancient 767s which keep breaking down a lot!

After a long gap, another layout update. Just finished the roads on the far end of the layout in the industrial area. Now to get on with adding textures #modeltrains

We need to be publicizing this all over the web and social media

Some notes on the insecurity baked into Perplexity's Comet "AI Browser" - the Brave security team reported serious prompt injection vulnerabilities in it, but Brave themselves are developing a similar feature that looks doomed to have similar problems simonwillison.net/2025/Aug/25/...
