You mean, "pointing out painfully obvious logical inconsistencies?"

Gotta say Yes, then.

Dear Ford executives,

Evolve and adapt, or die.

Sincerely, everybody.

The Trump administration lackeys are looking for someone to make an example of.

If they're successful in getting information about the commenter, everyone will simply stop using their reddit accounts and/or self censor.

Reddit is an obvious target. It is perceived as liberal by people who can't quite figure out that a completely free, easy to use, forum represents "average" not "left."

Big screen? I have a large TV at home.
Snacks? Cheaper at home and much better quality.
Schedule? Whenever I want.
Lines? None.
Other rude moviegoers? None.
Parking fees. (This one used to really piss me off) None.
Driving time? None.

So, tell me, dear theater owners, what could possibly motivate me to bother with you at this point?

Oh yeah, anyone who's not as stupid as the average MAGA.

Can confirm. Am not polite.

And their failing OS business.

Because we need Bezos et. al. to be looking over our shoulders at all times.

Cool videos, cutesy chats, pictures.

Guess what? Nobody cares. People want actual useful, accurate intelligence appliances that reliably cough up the right answers. An intelligence appliance that can handle rule based reasoning as well as the fuzzy probabilistic neural net prediction, preferably one that can figure out how many Rs are in "strawberry."

Unfortunately, OpenAI is like most software development companies. They do what's easy and makes a quick buck, not what matters.

Cloud computing = someone else's servers = somebody always looking over your shoulder.

It's the security state's wet dream.

Eventually, someone is going to make cost effective, low power photonic chips that can replace the current crop of NPUs and GPUs. Then what happens when these things all become dinosaurs?

Explain the potential security implications, assuming there are any?

If you're prevented from leaving, isn't that technically kidnapping?

It's too late for that.

We can't afford to quit now. None of the world's militaries or three letter security agencies will give up a weapon that might give them and advantage, ever. If we stop, we've lost any future conflict that might arise.

Imagine a future in which the world is controlled by Iran or North Korea. Competitive AI is the only way to prevent this.

This is the real world of realpolitik and real military power. Idealistic pearl clutching at this point is just noise. A ban won't happen, can't happen now.

It may be a trite saying, but it's as true in education as it is in a gym. If you don't exercise your brain, it's not going to improve.

There's a reason weightlifters don't use a forklift or crane to pick up the barbells and do a dozen reps. The problem is not that the weights are in need of lifting. And that's the same problem with homework. The teacher doesn't need a stack of 5 page reports; what they need is for their students to practice using their brains.

Unfortunately the education system is designed to evaluate output instead of process. It's easier to grade a paper or a test, not evaluate a demonstration of knowledge. It's always been ripe for cheating, but now the cheat tools are everywhere and made legitimate by techbros demanding AI productivity. So either teaching will change, or we'll head straight for idiocracy and nobody will be left with the skills to wonder why it all went to hell.
