All I see is someone who has witnessed and experienced the pain and suffering that comes from a world of unchecked polio and smallpox, a world of pain that you seem to desire to return all of us to whether we like it or not.
AI tells me I am a super genius, so AI is obviously right.
I have taken on more and more responsibilities as I have aged, to the point that I currently have several dependents. I walked away from conservatism/libertarianism in my twenties and never looked back. A laissez-faire society is doomed to fail.
I am a heterosexual male. The vast majority of days, no one says anything genuinely kind to me or supportive to me. I mostly just hear criticism. This is completely normal amongst my male peers, married or otherwise. I’m not complaining —- it’s just reality.
How did we get from "Do not use Wikipedia as a source" to "ask hallucinating chatbot everything"?
They’re too busy talking to China about switching to the yuan as their reserve currency.
China is the real winner here. If the world drops the dollar as the reserve currency, they're picking up the yuan, not the ruble.
Copilot is useful as a code autocomplete tool but as a data engineer and sometimes analyst, I get more value out of reading StackOverflow when I have a problem. ChatGPT is similar - useful for some narrow tasks. I don't understand the huge investment in it.
My mental model for this is macramé. You’re creating a bunch of interwoven strands, and you won’t necessarily have a perfect pattern when you start.
Describe yourself using 5 things that are probably in your purse/backpack at any given moment
1. Multiple notebooks and multiple good pens (Uniball Signos)
2. A 1L or 32 oz water bottle
3. At least one book
4. A bottle of store-brand acetaminophen
5. A deck of playing cards
Ah, yes, the old lügenpresse tactic. Where have we seen that before?
As usual, social media fails to generate meaningful civil conversation.
Then why are you posting about lawsuits on social media if you don’t care about anyone else’s opinion? If you don’t want to engage people in civil conversation, which this is, why post? Why tell people you don’t care about their opinions?
So it’s a complete waste of resources for anyone to even attempt suing him. He will just appeal and appeal and appeal and waste your money until the Supreme Court hears it, and the Supreme Court will side with Elon.
The Supreme Court has already established that they’re in favor of almost infinite power for the executive branch.
That’s exactly what will happen. Any lawsuit against Elon will just get appealed and appealed and appealed until the Supreme Court hears it, and they’ll side with Elon.
Any lawsuit against Elon will just be appealed until the Supreme Court hears it, and the Supreme Court will side with Elon.
The current makeup of the Supreme Court pretty much guarantees that he won’t be sued.
I think that many people who aren’t like that and don’t want to go through the mud just don’t participate in social media any more.
You’re correct, reading your Gish gallop newsletter would be a waste of my time.
You’re taking roughly 17 stances. Actually, addressing a lot of them would take the rest of my natural life, cause you keep adding more.
This thread is not a good advertisement for your substack.
Changing the subject again and again is exactly what you keep doing. Intellectual dishonesty at its most pure.
You’re doing it again.
You used a Gish gallop. That’s a tool of someone who doesn’t want their ideas actually discussed. If you’re actually trained in philosophy, you know that.
The guy has a very mixed-up philosophy.
This conversation is a complete waste of both of our times. Have a good day.
It’s like you pretend cartels never existed and won’t exist.
Or to put it another way, let’s say in your scenario I beat you half to death and take your money. If you have no money and policing is private, what recourse do you have? What keeps me from doing that to everyone?
What stops a strongman from running infinite protection rackets?
