Wow, there’s a name for what I’ve been trying to explain to myself and others all this time!
Last year my parents resolved the Abilene paradox in our marriage. After 7 years we all had Xmas together and I roasted a turkey. They asked why. I said my husband and the kids like it. They all said they were enduring it for me. We all hate turkey. This year we're having lamb.
Stupidity and the Progress of Human Civilization

Idk... There might be some logical progression from "I need to move my horses to that town over there", later "I might as well let the horse carry my things" to "maybe it might carry me instead of only my wares?"
That makes it way less stupid.
Ehm, was es in der #Wikipedia so alles gibt:
@anildash @curtosis If I'm reading that correctly, your model is trained on, amongst other things, my papers on arXiv. While you may or may not have the copyright license to do so, you absolutely do not have my consent or blessing to do so. That is not what I understood to have consented to when I participated in academic publishing.
Which, again, I'll note that the comparison between Twitter and Bluesky shows exactly what the problem is!
Bluesky *is repeating previous tactics*, exactly what Anil is accusing AI opponents of. Social media controlled by venture capital owners is not inevitable. AI is not inevitable. An enclosed cultural commons is not inevitable. We can fight, and we can win.

A blackout in San Francisco yesterday cut power to traffic lights. Drivers coped; Waymos just stopped moving, often in intersections, stranding passengers and compounding gridlock.

Zwei große Jungs ärgern und provozieren einen kleineren Jungen. Kommt ein Mädchen (Geschwisterkind?) angerannt und baut sich vor den Großen auf.
„Lasst ihn in Ruhe!“
„Verschwinde, wir hauen keine Mädchen!“
„Aber ich haue Jungs!“
Mir erscheint es für einen kurzen Moment, als stehe alles still und in der Stille vermeine ich das erleichterte Seufzen millionenfacher Frauen aus allen Zeiten zu hören.
Die Jungs sind dann gegangen.
The Fire Point factory, where Ukrainian Flamingo long-range drones and missiles are produced.
At present, Ukraine produces more than 50% of the weapons it uses on the frontline, with almost all long-range weapons being domestically made (for example, drones - 90%).
Fire Point was founded after Russia's full-scale invasion. The start-up now produces 200 drones per day, each costing about $50,000 - a third of the price of a Shahed drone.
