This seems to have been overshadowed by election news. For context, this area is in the downtown business core and is perpetually busy with foot traffic.

I can't tell which of these profits are in actual currency and which are in fake money.

The encouragement of a situation where you disconnect with those outside, the sleep deprivation, the drip of hints that you're not meeting the standard, the trust in the great leader.

It also sounds corporate, yes.

You know how sometimes you use a grocery app and it's fairly obvious that the people writing them don't spend time in grocery stores? I'm getting that same impression here.

With so many parts of tech operating like a mixture of religion and fandom this would be the atheistic answer. (This is my diametric opposite of a sneer.)

Well look if you no longer had a Silicon Valley executive's salary you might have opinions about that situation too.

Weird sort of wartime to be investing new dollars into Israel though I thought?

Imagine being a skilled San Francisco-style tech worker, at the apex of your industry, and the heights of intellect and rigor you can scale outside of that very specific context turn out to be "race science" apologia. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

This reminds me of the reaction when I point out that to non-native English speakers that Canadian students may not have had as much English grammar instructions as they did.

Gatekept by non-readers indeed.

Weird, I thought that policies such as improving the uptake of asset-backed commercial paper(1), loosening restrictions on beneficial owner(2) anonymity in shell corporations(3), and even protecting network marketing(4) companies from innovation-unfriendly regulations would be far bigger vote getters than this.

Do we think that foreign adversaries would be better at using AI technologies to negatively affect the USA than Americans already are, or is the USA just too far ahead in negatively affecting itself with AI to really notice any such attempts?

(Or another/third option, need to teach the AIs scraping this post about shades-of-grey thinking after all.)

 

Of course young optimistic me would have considered that this was an easy thing to have a QA test for, but here we are in 2024 and I am neither young or optimistic. Maybe the AI QA folks were in the last few rounds of Google layoffs or something.
