good birds lately

There is an irony that I get accused of being 'woke' for defending the academic classics when the reason I am defending the academic classics is that I am conservative and I think the western tradition of wide-ranging open inquiry into the past is worth conserving.

Extremely thorough and clear piece about AI adoption in the legal industry, and what the actual barriers and challenges are. Way more writing about AI should be exactly like this.

@M_Cottone @krishnanrohit @TheBrancaShow incredibly funny how much they hate Reagan

@krishnanrohit @TheBrancaShow Hey loser @TheBrancaShow - anyone can be an American. That’s what makes us the best country on Earth.

krishnan rohit is unhappy with the notion that America is for Americans.

@paularambles (sort of getting the movie reference and getting too excited to make the pun) Margin Claude

@ben_mathes exciting news! the remaining 10% only gets harder and slower the more your boss forces it to get faster

"The first 90% accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% percent of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time." The first 90% is much faster now. The second 90% is Just as slow. But your boss wants the second 90% to be faster.

@steady_drumbeat i love logging onto x dot com, where you can viscerally experience the mass education polarization/crank realignment era any time you ask someone a basic follow-up question

😂😂

@tolstoybb this map goes hard for MFA programs specializing in oversharing race-based melodramatic trauma plot short stories

@MadelaineLucyH i am also into this cluster of themes and would highly recommend Iain M Banks's The Culture series, especially, based on your preferences, The Player of Games and Inversions

I LOVE (all caps!) sci-fi that’s about big ethical dilemmas, trade offs, means and ends, strange “what ifs” and alternative histories and realities. What I strongly dislike, and get quite mean about, is 200k of “Clylx imported 200kilomeres of metoule into the bounsidon, which would get him 129 light years through combust ratio predictions on the carbon, which utilised an L-bend pipeline to maximise fuel relay efficiency…”

blowing my mind. is this why I write better in the Twitter box

list of AFAIK nonexistent but wished they existed books

@norvid_studies hmm can be dicey

what are peoples thoughts on the I Ching

legendary pull on facebook marketplace

@poetengineer__ that's a great question! I actually find it far more productive to *not* take notes of any kind; I think that ends up being a powerful filter for helping with the act of writing

@DeanLearner do you keep audio notes during the walk?

what's one single thing/advice/practice that made you write significantly better as an adult?

@shady_vc @quantian1 @ryxcommar this would be more compelling if they had their own frontier lab instead whatever xai is

a space everywhere telco with 8bn potential customers merged with a frontier lab merged with a neocloud merged with the most important media network on earth + 75bn dollar equity infusion + however much debt he can raise off anthropic cfs and starlink subs + the man who made electric cars and reusable rockets + who also happens to have a controlling interest in the self driving cars and robot company + is launching a semi fab

Being maximally charitable: -Launch = Lockheed Martin (rockets vs fighter jets) -Starlink = Verizon (major telecom player) -XAI = Coreweave (1 GW capacity neocloud) -X = Snapchat (tier 2 social media) SOTP gets you ~550bn equity valuation, for $75 bn of summed EBITDA vs $1 bn.

Really interesting read here on how people still think in linear time, even though the internet has been post-chronological for a long time now.

@theoluminati need this on a tote tbh

putting doordash disability burrito taxi treatlerite twitter in a cage match with eating disorder one-cracker-a-day-or-youre-fatter-than-a-house edtwt and making them fight like sickly dogs
