As a kid we regularly drove 5 hours to see family once a month. California is a long state.
My American friend in Tokyo asked how far I drive to see my parents.
"Two hours," I said.
"Oh nice. So they live close."
Close??
In Japan, two hours is a trip.
We stop at a rest area. We buy souvenirs. We text the family "we made it."
Tokyo to Osaka is about 6 hours by car.
Japanese people talk about that drive like it was the Oregon Trail.
Then he casually mentioned he once drove 14 hours. For a wedding. And drove back the next day.
So I need to hear this from more of you.
What's the longest drive you've ever done in one go?
From where to where? 🚗
(Texans: "Texas to Texas" counts.)

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

If the government doesn't prevent you from having the liberty to marry who you want, then that hurts the religious liberty of people who want to stop you from doing that.
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says in a new book that he believes the court's landmark decision extending marriage rights to same-sex couples was "perhaps the decisive point in our nation's turn against religious liberty."

IMHO, consciousness is a process. It isn't just the matter nor the electrical signals, nor their instantaneous state at any given moment. It's the whole system, changing over time. It isn't substrate or component dependent.
There is nothing more frustrating in this life than having a hair stuck between your eye lashes that you can't find.
While I was cooking dinner yesterday, I remembered that I needed to message my HOA about a problem. I pulled up my Dot and while I was stirring the food, I described my issue, the Dot drafted an email. I read it and it sent it. Exactly what I want from a personal assistant.
The people that don't believe in the utility of AI just aren't using the latest models & tools.
Just talking to your AI and it going off and doing things for you is magical and amazing.
It feels weird to venerate altars to consumerism. By all means, mourn the loss of places where we could spend time together. I just wish we’d had more of them that weren’t built around selling us things.
It’s actually criminal how many of these are gone. Amazon and private equity killed so much of American life.

This video is AI generated. The Sears logo shown was intreoduced in 2004, not 1996. In 1996, Sears was spelled in all caps. The date overlay misspells the month DEC as DIC.

I haven't really delved into the debate about effective altruism, but when I read the definition or description of it, it seems pretty reasonable to me - and it surprises me how much people online seem to hate the concept of it. Not sure what I'm missing.
The most frustrating thing about social media is people post like they want a conversation, but really they just wanna scream into the void.
I find it endlessly fascinating just how confident everyone is that they're seeing the future of AI the right way, and making accurate predictions about what will come to pass.
