Years of covering the business have taught me that “investors” and executives are thick skulled, irrational, impulsive children.
I cannot emphasize enough how comprehensive their stupidity is, but their cultlike devotion to regurgitative AI really helps get the point across.

Google's new AI 'world model' has seemingly spooked videogame investors, but it's hard to know what it will actually lead to
Can auto-generated "worlds" really be exciting?

It's rare to see how lobbyists operate. But the Epstein-Mandelson correspondence shows us what happens all the time: plutocrats and government ministers conspiring against the public interest. This is why all lobbying should be in the public domain, but despite Labour and Con promises, it's not. 🧵

That the world's biggest child sex trafficking and paedophile ring was also an Israeli intelligence operation seems significant considering the almost complete lack of criticism of Israeli war crimes and human rights abuses from so many powerful people

The Good Friday agreement being organised by a bunch of paedophiles is fucking something.
Many have cheered on the harassment by authorities of anti-gfa Irish republicans for years. Doubt this along with the fact the Brits never intend to uphold parts of the agreement will change minds sadly.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

I guess the best-available defense to this sort of thing—lots of friendly emails and visits with someone recently convicted of procuring a child for the purposes of prostitution, I mean—is something like “He seemed to have lots of money and connections and I would have liked a little piece of that”

thanks for the kind words. i enjoyed meeting you; i had not known you were connected to john brockman, but i should have guessed!
as luck would have it, i am slated to be in NYC this coming thursday for a dinner and could meet before that, any time between 2 and 5, if that happened to work for you. otherwise, i could surely come back again within the coming weeks.
my lab has a number of foci at present: 1) the evolutionary biology and genetics of social networks and social interaction; 2) the experimental exploration, using online tools, of network structure and function in humans (how does network structure affect phenomena like cooperation, innovation, health, etc.); and 3) randomized controlled trials in the developing world of network 'targeting algorithms' aimed at enhancing spillover effects, so as to facilitate population-level behavior change by identifying and targeting influential people.
let me share three papers with you (one unpublished) that flesh out some of our work (specifically [1] and [2] above):

So proud of South Armagh for when the cops post about having the speed van out on facebook all that happens is they start heckling them for breaking the law by blocking the foot path.
For shame on you Belfast producing auld bats that defend the fucking cops doing it.

Interesting thread but going to need a better name for the gamergate stuff I thought there was other people on youtube trying to steal that wanker Stephen Nolan's career
There’s a lot of wild ass shit like this that happened during The Troubles that I mostly keep to myself and friends just because it’s so insane and I don’t really feel like being called a liar or giving chum to the YouTube lolcow drama losers but yeah this was a big one

Does it count as corruption if you accept a bribe and do the opposite of what you were bribed to do?

If you're a tech journalist and you write about generative AI to discuss how some new tech can perfectly replicate (famous game) visually, and you don't *immediately* turn the entire article into discussing unauthorized training sets and copyright infringement, I no longer trust anything you write.

UK anti-trans journalism is the twisted baby of UK anti-vax journalism and UK anti-gay journalism, with a sprinkling of tactics from UK anti-immigrant and UK anti-traveller journalism
I wasn't aware the anti-vax stuff originated in the UK till I saw hbomberguy's big video on it, and man was I getting constant deja vu with how the UK media reported on the anti-vax nonsense and how they report on trans people. Uncritically pushing junk science to harm people.

Podcast are such a stupid concept when you could go into a pub and get a few hours long story whether good or bad.
Main thing is you will not have the world be majorly shitter for doing or listening to such a thing compared to podcasts.
