Replit

Silence can also indicate disapproval.

He's (unsurprisingly) making an analogy to the dotcom bubble, which seems to me correct. There was a bubble, many non-viable companies got funded and died, and nevertheless the internet did eventually change everything.

How do you tell that a book with nihilistic characters isn't a nihilistic book? The difference is obvious in principle, but I'm not sure it is in practice.

Which passage was it?

Do you remember which one?

Probably just an homage - tipping the hat to the predecessor

I don't think you responded to the argument there. He's not saying antisemitism isn't real. Of course it's real, and has been for a long time. He's saying that automatically tarring critics of Israel as antisemites is invalid.

What were you working on and what were the rabbit holes?

It's an interesting and fun example?

> I've also learned enough about LLMs that I know how to write that CLAUDE.md so it sticks to best practices.

Could you share some examples / tips about this?

Shouldn't everyone be read cautiously?

I bet not. Let's come back in a couple years and see.

These things aren't contradictory. They may even need each other.

The article makes him sound like even more of a jerk than the everyone-else he's dumping on. It could be the interviewer framing him that way, of course.

I mean that it looked like either AI generated or blogspam or both. Not the writing though, more the look of the page. Happy to be wrong.

(I was wondering if this was some sort of generated ripoff but the author worked on Kafka for 6 years: https://x.com/BdKozlovski.)

I know what a multiplayer game is, but what's a multiplayer io game?

(not being snarky, i loved your comment)

What became of James Hague? What did he do after he stopped blogging?

> I owe my career to YouTube

That's interesting. How so?

Politicians respond to pressure.

Plenty of Jewish people don't. Many of the most dedicated critics of Israel are Jews. This is obvious, so let's not cross into unpleasant tropes.

I haven't seen such a video, though I wouldn't be surprised if one existed. Let's stick to facts.

This is an interesting thread from someone who worked on the case (on Hogan's side):

What is the link?

"Tailwind is the Worst of All Worlds"

"it does one thing very correctly"

... so there's at least one worse world then

> But positioning artificial intelligence as the primary culprit in these stories—as Eliezer Yudkowsky did in a tweet storm—is well, kind of lazy?

I agree, but then the title of this article seems to be exploiting the same angle.

"Posts" is a more general category than "essays". A post about Miata transmission years sounds useful. An essay about it sounds boring.

Chomsky's in the last hour of that.

That part is unusually good btw. It's actually elegaic.
