Yikes, there’s a 25 around here that shows up as a 55 in Google Maps.

Also a 55 that goes down to I think 35 for just a moment when it joins up with a side road. I wonder what a Tesla would do if it was following that data.

Is that just to cover his ass cuz he was promising backwards-compatible FSD for models that don’t have LIDAR?

Just to be clear, I was referring to a poem by Dayna EM Craig, titled “A Narcissist’s Prayer”.

How does that one go?

SnotFlickerman nailed it, so I’ll just add that the “man or bear” saga taught me what a “scissor statement” is.

For me, that was the biggest revelation of the whole thing.

You had people encountering the same general words in the same general order, but understanding them to mean completely different things, and not being able to comprehend how anyone could disagree with them.

It was like a rehash of “the dress”, but not so whimsical.

It was really kind of distressing, the extent to which it laid bare (no pun intended) how poorly we’re actually communicating with each other online, even though it otherwise seems like we’re communicating more than ever.

Aaaaand then we just kinda shrugged that off and went back to internet as usual.

Not technically, because there are scenarios where you can give up some freedom or safety without improving the other in return (and therefore restore freedom/safety afterwards without diminishing the other)… but it’s a close enough approximation to be useful, kinda like classical physics vs general relativity.

If you want to be more detailed, you can look at “freedom to” vs “freedom from”. This has its own limitations, but it’s precise enough while still being useful.

For example, assuming everyone involved is constrained by the same rules:

You can’t have the freedom to fire a gun in the air, and have freedom from your neighbor’s falling bullets.

You can’t have the freedom to drive a tank down the street, and have freedom from fear of being squashed as a pedestrian.

It seems like any time you criticize AI, you get an escalating series of responses akin to the narcissist’s prayer:

  • It must be faked
  • And if it wasn’t faked, you were using the wrong model
  • And if you weren’t using the wrong model, you prompted it wrong
  • And if you didn’t prompt it wrong, don’t worry — “this is the worst it’ll ever be”

Good job, Rich.

I used a hybrid of near-shore telepresence and on-site scrum sessions to move fast and put the quantum metaverse on a content-addressable de-fi AI blockchain
