If the cause they donate to is bad, it is

His whole blog is exactly the same kind of nonsense as the article and reeks of effective altruism.

That's not an ad hominem.

"And I'm sorry, but you're not up to date about interpretability literature, or for that matter philosophical discourse,"

I see no citations referring to the current philsophical discourse, unless you mean to imply anthropic's paid people are to be considered to be part of that.

That they "see structures in Claude akin to those we think are associated with human consciousnesses experience in the brain" is if anything discrediting.

I get (and share some of) the frustration, but have yet to find anything better.

XMPP and IRC are not it, for me. Neither give me a better experience nor are they easier for non-techies than matrix.

I also empathize with the people behind the project, as monetization is much more difficult for non-scumbag companies, among which I definitely count Discord, Slack and to a lesser degree Telegram.

As a user though, the speed of improvement has been less than satisfying. It has felt like matrix was just shy of fulfilling its promises for years now.

I still enjoy using it though and am hopeful for its future.

Love Matrix/Element and how you deal with criticism.

I've heard (and tried) the new experimental webapp. Is that actually something more than an experiment and will this see further development?

I'm asking because I really enjoyed it but felt like it might have been just a test balloon.

No. The author simply sees it as basically complete and decided to spend the time he has fixing bugs instead of taking care of issues.

Maybe I'm confusing something, but I thought dendrite development had stopped due to budget concerns.

I see now that there were actually recent releases on github.

Really appreciate your work and am thankful for matrix and element.

As a user of Element call via the desktop app, I found myself sometimes confused whether I was actually using the new implementation or the legacy version.

Has the move to encrypted calls happened on the non-element-x platforms? Is there a difference between group and one-on-one calls on those platforms?

Is Jitsi still in use anywhere?

That's very interesting. Never had noticed anything like that. What kind of workloads are you seeing this with?

No, they always very actively did everything they could to get as much money and influence out of whatever political system they're operating under.

The Nazis very happily and intentionally worked together with corporations and the corporations were happy to exploit the free slave labor and lack of competition.

Ah, you're thinking of the world famous Las Vegas Hyperloop!

I was a bit surprised by that when I first learned that from a healthcare worker, but it's true.

I think this should be taken care of by the employer.
