I've only been dipping my toe into coding with claude recently (software is a secondary part of my job, and when I messed with AI a few years ago I wasn't super impressed). After revisiting things, that's the freakiest part. I just can't shake the feeling of "things aren't supposed to work this way". It doesn't feel safe, even running in a VM and being careful not to give it access to anything proprietary or sensitive.

Meanwhile, a couple of oligarchs are positioning convenient AI summaries in between us and all of the world's information. Talk about a useful tool to control people...

This fills me with horror. Different strokes I guess.

Ah, I never used twitter.

I like it for my use case. It's more like the community around forum instances in the old days. The internet is too big.

Eh, if the period between radio and nuclear/climate/AI apocalypse is short, I don't think that's true at all.

If you start actively managing it (removing invasive species, dead trees etc.) the state can take a more active interest at any time and sue/fine you into oblivion.

I'm tired, boss.

Counterpoint: one could say the exact same thing about the internet, but social media has (IMHO) proved... sub-optimal at a societal level.

As a corollary, I think they'd be much more useful if there were direct interoperability of things like the GPIO pins. As far as I can tell, there could exist a compatibility shim for software using wiringpi and wiring etc. from the RPi world, but trying to set it up is a software/kernel nightmare for anyone not working professionally in this space.

I gave it a shot about a year ago using LLMs, but haven't revisited it since.

I mean, I do, but there's a reason KSP is so popular despite all the flaws.

For me it's the asteroids. Having space being so densely populated with procedural asteroids is immediately, irreversibly immersion breaking for me. Like... space would be opaque and life on these plants would immediately cease in a cataclysm of bombardment.

This was also one of many gripes I had with Starfield.

These systems aren't perfect recognition oracles - there are lots of errors, especially as you scale up the technology. At the end of the day, it's a probabilistic identification correlated to a stream with a mix of of reported or suspected crimes. Your framing completely misses the reality. I'd argue that the OP's language is a much better fit.

Can that kind of clause really be enforceable? It really doesn't seem legal in any jurisdiction I'm aware of. (not a lawyer)
