Indiana Jones, whose front row students once wrote “I love you” on their eyelids, now faced a half empty lecture theatre who hadn’t done the reading.

Fox News is talking about the House Speaker votes like they should've talked about Jan. 6, so we switched the footage for them

TIL Twitter’s Community Notes uses the principles behind Netflix recommendations engine, in reverse, to identify notes that are deemed helpful by people who DON’T normally agree. #prosocialtech twitter.github.io/communityn…

Finding this meltdown of Twitter so stressful, because I’m realising how much I’d come to depend on it, and I feel so stupid for treating it like a commons, when it never was.

Hume was wrong, when he said that “ought implies can” - that our responsibilities are limited by our abilities. Wrong because he ignores the fact that a sense of “ought” drives us to extend our abilities through technology and process innovation. “Ought implies could” instead.

Just like going to moon gave us Velcro, maybe in worrying about the ethics of AI, we’ll figure out how to imbue corporations with values. After all, the latter is made of people - oils be easier, right?

Very tangential take but this makes it sound like the mistake Elizabeth Holmes made was that she went into business, rather than politics. I guess that’s what they mean by the infinite game - you never actually have to deliver.
It’s utter nonsense and she knows it. Rees-Mogg proposed a sunset clause for June 2026 and his own cabinet colleagues told him it was unworkable. Sunak promised repeal by the next election in 2025. Truss is just trying to up the ante. None of them can actually deliver this.
