I also tried to kill off the other ones to promote my guy to the top. It never really worked out, because they get replaced by randos.

This is how social media should be all the time:

a) you asked a question about something you didn’t know about
b) people answered it clearly and kindly
c) you thanked them for giving you information

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them.

They should feel bad.

Compounding error rates AND compounding maintenance costs due to compounding complexity. These will be brittle systems.

Folks that have experience with deterministic automation in (esp. in distributed systems) understand compounding error rates well enough to be very sceptical about throwing non-determinism in that mix.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.
