First day you can really just open up your windows and let the fresh air circulate after winter is an underrated holiday.
If you want to talk about LLMs being of use to people who aren't Musk and Altman and Zuckerberg, you have to talk about *power*, and how others could have it. You have to describe a credible alternative political economy. The bits and bytes don't actually mean shit without that.
This is true, and a key thing to reflect on: one can be agnostic about tech in the abstract, but this tech *doesn't exist in the abstract*. It only exists concretely, and do you imagine you'll have more control over its concrete expression than the wealthiest people in the world? If so, how so?
this is the 1 case where "are you surprised?!" is apt
lol im going to use "are you building a react app" from now on
That essential idea - that a lot of conservatives want simple answers to complex problems - is endemic, and not limited to America. A lot of the stupid conspiracy-soaked rejection of knowledge and modernity stems from that, or at least, is reflected in that.

Things don't have purposes, as if the universe were a machine, where every part has a useful function. What's the function of a galaxy? I don't know if our life has a purpose and I don't see that it matters. What does matter is that we're a part.
