the central plot point of “infinite jest” is a film so engrossing that anyone who watches it loses all interest in anything else: they can’t eat, sleep, or function. in the book, terrorists fight over it. In real life, Alex Wang got paid a couple b to make it happen

people often post this stuff to imply that moral panics about the technologies of the past were quaint. But the past is full of reminders that we are on a long, slow march away from embodied experience, and that we’ve lost more of it than we can even remember

Wikipedia is so ironic. We wanted to give a voice to the voiceless, but what emerged was one of the most effective organs of Establishment propaganda in history.

Hypothesis: If a 10x engineer who is the inventor of Typescript can be let go in layoffs without a heads-up, none of our jobs are really safe & you are probably better off thinking of yourself as a one person business who consistently networks to build their own sales pipeline

@LynAldenContact @nic__carter You should study physics and cryptography and conclude that quantum computing is a scam. In 30 years they are unable to factor 3 digit numbers. It is all fake propaganda. They corrupt the notion of "computer".

This new model isn’t so much end-to-end encryption. Increasingly, stochastically, but maybe inevitably, we’re moving to “end-to-HSM” encryption, where all the messages of the world (or a lot of them) exist for at least a moment inside of a pretty hardened central server.

Messaging apps are increasingly deploying AI features like summarization. Apple Intelligence offers this for all newer devices. Others are considering or have already deployed similar features. WhatsApp has even deployed an “advanced privacy mode” to except chats from AI.

As I have said before ... if Putin dropped dead tomorrow, his policies would be pursued, likely more aggressively, by any successor, esp in regard to NATO on Russia's frontier. There is no domestic Russian constituency for a politics of rainbow Navalny/Pussy Riot/chess guy etc
