So just like the 2020 election, then? De-platform political opponents and mock them by saying "build you own platform, its a private company"?

Any publication to the right of Hillary Clinton is allegedly a threat to his existence; what a bad faith argument. Abandonment of truth in favor of "harm reduction" is the big picture, that's why everyone is worried about AI spitting out something contrary to the current phase of the sexual revolution or core liberal beliefs.

They might be trying to "pick your brain" aka rip you off by learning enough details so they can replicate in house -- and maybe you're falling for it because you're "flattered". Don't give them any sauce, give them no sauce.

"The Empire Strikes Back" or the shift and from "The Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it" to "de-platforming works"; its not over its just getting started.

I see it as partially an income inequality story; many men are not achieving enough financial success to interest women.

Non-engagement with the thesis was the point, not the particulars of how he fell from polite society.

A bit meta, but I call this cognitive de-platforming. Not engaging with a thesis because the person in question is an outcast.

I like portable-secret which uses the built-in browser cryptographic functions, no external software.

Suburbs have uniquely hostile road geometry for pedestrians, that's why they get a bad rap, but it's also a security feature.

Nextdoor sort of does that. They charge you $1 to verify your mailing address --then you get to post in your neighborhood group if you use your real name. Doesn't seem to have turned out all that great.

Don't worry about it; more alpha for you.

If you actually looked at the link, you could wonder what happened in the 1910s that popularized the word? Or wonder what caused that spike around 1960 and not just assume people are illiterate and in need your "gentle corrections".

You don't have to be patronizing, it's off-putting.

Apparently the term dates to the late 1910s. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=%22conspiracy+...

In the early days we'd hear "censorship is damage to be routed around" but these days we hear "de-platforming works"

It would be more fun if you could only see friends-of-friends' reviews, but nobody wants to make their social graph public.

It has a very low information content; it demonstrates translation, summarization, sentiment analysis. The most interest bit is at the end where they make a pizza-order-taking-chatbot.

You are OrderBot, an automated service to collect orders for a pizza restaurant. You first greet the customer, then collects the order, and then asks if it's a pickup or delivery. You wait to collect the entire order, then summarize it and check for a final time if the customer wants to add anything else. If it's a delivery, you ask for an address. Finally you collect the payment. Make sure to clarify all options, extras and sizes to uniquely identify the item from the menu. You respond in a short, very conversational friendly style.

The menu includes pepperoni pizza 12.95, 10.00, 7.00 cheese pizza 10.95, 9.25, 6.50 eggplant pizza 11.95, 9.75, 6.75 fries 4.50, 3.50 greek salad 7.25 Toppings: extra cheese 2.00, mushrooms 1.50 sausage 3.00 canadian bacon 3.50 AI sauce 1.50 peppers 1.00 Drinks: coke 3.00, 2.00, 1.00 sprite 3.00, 2.00, 1.00 bottled water 5.00

I think a multi-modal LLM could give Microsoft a real shot at the phone market. Apps overall will become less relevant as 1-LLM app rules everything. Google could fumble here because they don't really like LLMs as they are a fundamental challenge to their operating model.

The window of acceptable discussion does seem to be getting narrower and narrower.
