Exactly, it was a long death, but in the end open-source fell victim to capitalism and capitalisation.

AI and Rust* are just the final nails in the coffin.

*I mean the weird link between Rust and MIT here.

Looked him up, just some AI techbro that tours slopfactories. He was a openai, tesla and now he is at anthropic.

Polenta that is not liquid or soup like. I remember it being thick, almost crumbly but I never can get the consistency from my childhood.

I think they are also behind this. Force Taiwan to open up the latest fab in the US - rob their tech and “sink” Taiwan.

If that wasn’t a rich people class institution, it would be called a title mill and closed for that …

Normal countries don’t have a god-emperor president that needs to be protected at all costs. This is not even about Trump, they did that to all the presidents before.

I never understood the “prepper” fetish the US has.

In other countries the president might be your next door neighbour and you have 2-3 policemen around to keep the weirdos off.

This is idiocracy in action. These kind of propaganda ops only work if you can stop the bad stuff you are doing for at least 5 minutes.

When the Saudi comedy festival circus was going on they didn’t imprison and or kill the comedians they paid to go there. They could stop for the metaphorical 5 minutes - the current US clown show is too stupid even for that.

I think we are already seeing that with Microsoft. Another 2-3 rounds of AI and they forget how to build windows.

With enough malice and ignorance you can repurpose epigenetics to fit the Lamarckian model.

Je ne suis pas sûr que c’est possible sans modifier l’ECU …

Entry of the Gladiators would have been too on the nose.

He has been on Coast to Coast AM he has been on Joe Rogan and other scientists in his and other fields are often not happy with his outreach.

As a fellow diaeresis user I concur.

I don’t think the GOP can ever get over it’s hate if Muslims, but if they do, I’m pretty sure they would perfectly align with Iran.

They have a lot of common enemies, that is, minorities to fight.

Now I wonder if the US was always a gerontocracy.

A PhD is not a “get out of Jail” card for kookery.

He is definitely part of the “woo” people in his field.

Thinking about that, it reminds me of addiction. You replace your motivational system with another one, that gives you a faster and easier reward.

There is an easy cope out to say, these were bad engineers to begin with, but I’m not convinced.

We know that if you don’t use an ability and use it daily your brain just reallocates resources to other tasks. So if you have a machine that “outsources” thinking for you, you will be less able to think.
