Surprised/not surprised to see Dominato vote against. I expect Klassen/Sim/Montague to not care abt road safety but Dominato’s pretend concern when people get hurt followed by nothing and then… this, is truly insulting.

No wonder that country fell to fascism so fast

This gives form to the feeling I had when people were lionizing the roboticist for leaving OpenAI; what did they think they were signing on for?
After several outages due to junior engineers pushing AI-generated code, Amazon is requiring senior engineers to sign off on them going forward.

Leslie, going to town on some Fresh Gasoline, replies "You need to drink more gasoline. It makes all my thoughts and opinions melt away!"
