Hubris. Musk is the kinda guy who thinks a plan is genius simply because it’s unconventional. He’s kinda been proven right so far, because he has never been allowed to fully fail.
He is now on the highest wire he’s ever been on, with no safety net, and no awareness of how often he’s needed one.
I was thinking about that while watching a true crime doc the other day.
Perp killed his girlfriend, cops had a hard time apprehending the guy, but eventually he killed himself rather than be captured.
Victim’s family was angry cuz they were denied even the last bit of justice they might get. Perp’s family lost a member permanently instead of being able to visit them. Perp never got a chance at rehabilitation. Victim is just as dead as before — maybe even more, cuz one more person who knew them well is dead too.
And I’m like… Who actually wins here???
You lose a loved one, you know who did it, but you can never get to them and ask why, because contact is life-threatening for them. How do you heal?
Where an older generation struggled to understand at all, a middle generation adapted to it early enough to witness all of the quirks, and then a later generation was born into an already-smoothed out system — and they all lived simultaneously?
Seems like a uniquely modern thing, but then again agriculture and clothing and currency have all had periods of rapid change in the past.
Like were there Generation F dudes out there like “omg we’re the only ones who understand knitting frames smh”?
I like how every single character is incredibly weird in at least one way, but their weirdness is usually a source of joy and hardly ever used as the butt of a joke.
Except for the last season. There are some lines that really feel like the writers talking to themselves about how they painted themselves into a corner.
The looming obstacle to deployment of civil contempt against Trump’s merry band of constitutional arsonists is the reality that judges do not arrest or imprison people themselves. Nor does the judicial branch have its own armed employees to arrest those who defy its orders or its own jails in which to hold prisoners. Those jobs are performed by the U.S. Marshals Service and the Federal Bureau of Prisons … which are both components of the DOJ and are thus subordinate to the attorney general, who is subordinate to Trump. Even an order imposing a fine can be enforced only against a noncompliant defendant by action of the Justice Department.
Pretty good article on why refusing to enforce a contempt order would really be the South Bank of the Rubicon.
Isn't this still subject to the same problem, where a system can lie about its inference chain by returning a plausible chain which wasn't the actual chain used for the conclusion? (I'm thinking from the perspective of a consumer sending an API request, not the service provider directly accessing the model.)
Also:
Any time I see a highly technical post talking about AI and/or crypto, I imagine a skilled accountant living in the middle of mob territory. They may not be directly involved in any scams themselves, but they gotta know that their neighbors are crooked and a lot of their customers are gonna use their services in nefarious ways.
US equivalent of DMA when?
