Reading, Shadowrun, walking. Living and working in Toronto. Sysadmin (or whatever it’s called this month). He/him.

I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.

Well look if you no longer had a Silicon Valley executive’s salary you might have opinions about that situation too.

Weird sort of wartime to be investing new dollars into Israel though I thought?

People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.

I’m getting the picture that governance is a great thing until you find out that other people want to govern you back.

I think we’ve all walked by a giant important point.

These nearly-all-male network state fans have such compelling ideas that women outside their immediate circles would rather Xerox “bits of their bodies” than engage with those ideas. Their outreach “embassy” attracts even fewer women every day. Possibly even an average number rounding to zero.

Right now it seems like their polities will be remembered in the same religious studies lessons that teach about the Shakers.

Just a minor paragraph rewrite for clarity.

“The reality of generative AI is you’ve got to have a foundation of cloud computing,” AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Dave Levy, whose compensation relies on him successfully growing Amazon’s computer rental income, told Nextgov/FCW in a June 26 interview at AWS Summit. “You’ve got to get your data in a place where you can actually do something with it.”

It’s always so tedious when these little conflict of interest notes are left out of articles.

Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.
