I’m long since sick of Elon’s ego project and don’t wish to add any content nor value here. I’ve scaled back my interactions on the platform as much as possible.
Thread follows with other social media.

@benlandautaylor For example, opened my Reddit feed just now and this was the third story down. Long before AI is able to dislodge franchises, it’s going to send a tidal wave through the self-publishing market:

@benlandautaylor I readily acknowledge copyright is messy and ripe for abuse, and as fanfic authors we directly benefit from reducing its power, but people who make a living from creativity also rely on it and are significantly more vulnerable than the govts/corps the cypherpunks opposed.

Very weird that people get mad at GPT for rampant digital piracy when that's by far the coolest thing about it.

@acesounderglass And because it’s so formulaic and corps optimize for profit, they’ve calculated that their agents can manage multiple troubleshooting conversations at once. So their intelligence is spent on the juggling rather than the troubleshooting.

@acesounderglass Unfortunately, you’re dealing with the tier of human support who work with the 98% of humans who benefit from that tier of support.
English
35 minutes with @AppleSupport to have them tell me to update to the latest OS (problem predate getting behind) and read the how-to article that already failed.
There is clearly no human intelligence here so I don't know why they take 4 minutes for every response.

I work in tech and I’m acutely aware of the reasons for this so do not @ me

@lediva @BardBloom @Sythyry What a loss, not just to family and friends but to the world.
My condolences.

@XydexxUnicorn @SoatokDhole Also the 2-6-1 Rule for conventions: basic self-care/hygiene is 2 meals, 6 hours of sleep, and 1 shower daily.

@daniel_eth @ESYudkowsky But the fewer shareholders you have, the more profits per shareholder that you generate. If you kill ALL of your shareholders, the profit per survivor becomes infinite!
English
One little-known fact about the US legal system is that no one actually has a fiduciary duty to kill all of their shareholders. In fact, you could even make an argument that there is generally a fiduciary duty to *not* kill all of your shareholders.
English
@CouchCrusader_ Yup! If you find yourself passing through, hit me up though. I’m very occasionally through Seattle, and if you happen to be at Babscon next week or Everfree later this year, we should definitely hang!
English
@baxil Man, get out of here with that :'D It's hard to imagine a higher compliment.
I'm sorry I didn't reach out more when I lived in NorCal. Grass Valley, right? To think I missed hangout chances with a fellow dragon...
English
My therapist told me that I've touched upon hundreds of lives*, lives that wouldn't be the same were I never here.
Right now, if you're feeling like it, please tell me about a time I made your life different somehow, even if for a moment, 'cause I might just need to hear it rn
