It’s like he found the notes other musicians couldn’t find.

@dhh @levelsio I think it’s a deep hatred of imperialism and capitalism combined with guilt, possibly fueled by people outside of Europe.

@levelsio It's not just their leaders. There's still support for this kind of suicidal empathy across Europe. Got plenty of flack for this piece on London from folks in the UK committed to the "it's not so bad / it's inevitable / you're bad for noticing" circle. world.hey.com/dhh/as-i-remem…

I know there is some overlap between open source and anti-AI activists, but I have a hard time reconciling it. My million+ open source LOC were always intended as a gift to the world. Yes, I would make arguments about how it would strengthen our communities, and the GPL would prevent outright exploitation by our competitors, but those were to allay fears of my partners to allow me to make the gift. AI training on the code magnifies the value of the gift. I am enthusiastic about it! Some people do look at open source as a tool for social change, career advancement, or reputation building, but those are all downstream of the gift.

Genuinely devastating take to see from someone who popularized the GPL across so many communities. Fails to appreciate the social and cultural importance of the license.

If Michael Jackson had released Black Or White now I reckon you’d get protests calling him a racist.

Honest question Ricky Gervais, why don’t you have a dog? You clearly love them. Can you provide an answer that makes sense that will not make me question the reasoning. I’m a reasonable person, I would love to know as would many others.

@rickygervais @chippychop_ I don’t own a dog either but I get on a plane twice a month to take this guy for a walk. I think they own us and I’m fine with that :)

@chippychop_ I travel too much as I’m always on tour and I believe if you own a dog you should give it the best life possible and play with it everyday for 15 years.

@PhilosophyOfPhy I think Sir Roger could have also said "the key is understanding Gödel's incompleteness theorm."

Roger Penrose argues that scaling computers and adding GPUs won't create consciousness. Computation can follow rules, but understanding and awareness are something deeper than calculation.
