Exactly. The first person who chiseled a stone, other people around them were like oh this is great for banging stuff with. You didn't have to convince them to use fire because it was clear it was warm & if you threw some meat on it it was tasty. Good tech isn't a hard sell.
no one ever had to be forced to use *good* tech.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

Trump is invading American cities to nominally address crime, and I think the scale of his pardon-sprees should be given more political salience
When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

And he boasts of being a “nuanced” master of “clinical appraisal.”
Because he’s white, slightly nerdy but also not bad looking, dressed like a doctor with MD in his handle and that is bar for a lot of people for believability. Appearance is everything in the US

Fantastic explanation of VAERS and its limitations, which has been used by anti-vaxxers for years to fear monger about vaccines
Pretty much ANY statistic you see cited to frighten you about vaccines comes from the VAERS database. (Including the recent evidence-free missive from Vinay Prasad). Here's why VAERS can NEVER be a proper source for population-level vaccine risk estimates.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Do you use AI on the job?
Execs: 87%
Managers: 57%
Workers: 27%
Planned investment by 2030: $5T
"Necessary" annual revenue to justify that spend: $650B
Current annual revenue: $50B

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy
Investors expect AI use to soar. That’s not happening
Recent surveys point to flatlining business adoption

Could investors have been… wrong?
Did they put tons of money up not based on an actual existing product with limited use cases, but on hype that the technology would soon turn into magic?
Because that does not seem like a wise investment.

So what’s going on is that the federal government is running a massive domestic spying operation and getting local cops to do their dirty work once a car is stopped. They call this siloing of data “walling” it off from their true source.

When a news outlet puts a reckless, undocumented claim by the Trump regime in the main headline and puts medical experts’ pushback in the smaller type, it’s making a choice. And not a good one.

Yeah. Before the fall, CK's act—and his fandom—rested on the premise that his worst self wasn't his true self. Now it's the opposite, and that's just not interesting as comedy.
He is just generally an alt-right, unrepentantly racist and transphobic piece of shit. He is also a genuinely bad comedian, much in the way that thin-skinned assholes often are 🤷♀️
