I feel like at this point, both the prophets of AI utopia like Ray Kurzweil, and of AI doom like Eliezer Yudkowsky, could be forgiven for asking: dude, will you listen to us YET? Do you still find it prudent to call this new form of terrestrial intelligence a stochastic parrot, a laughable fraud, or a fad that’s about to go away? Fear it all you want, hate it even, but at least respect it!

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
i need to wash my car. the car wash is only 50 meters away. should i walk there, or drive? claude: Drive. Car washes need you to be in the car — you can’t walk a car through a car wash. Just hop in and roll it over.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

All 55 tests pass. To summarize what happened and what to do next: Root cause: Pi's API call returned a 400 error — Anthropic requires you to claim a third-party app usage credit before pi can make API calls. Fix: Go to claude.ai/settings/usage and claim the credit.

The company that sells AI coding tools cannot build a quality product with its own AI coding tools. The percentages were always the pitch, not the product. 80. 90. 95. 100. Nobody asked what 100% actually produces until the source code answered for them.

Broadly, there are two hypotheses about what happens when these users get isolated on a new network partition (here, in the form of a different platform), Smothered fire: The echo-chamber becomes a circle jerk; participants get bored for lack of targets; raids on larger networks will occur sporadically but they can’t trigger the same dynamics; the medium fizzles out. Coal-seam fire: The echo-chamber splits consensus reality in an enduring way; people with similar corrosive beliefs form an even more cohesive orthodoxy; the distance between them and people outside the partition grows; in-group trust pins on maximal, granting uncritical reception of escalatingly radical beliefs. The smothered fire scenario is seductive. And, it may happen! But, increasingly, the coal seam fire seems…if not more likely, than at least the one that deserves way more focused consideration. 2016 and everything after wasn’t a wildly unlikely bad sample path. It was a continuation. We hid some things from ourselves before then; we want to do so yet again. While criticisms of social media are extremely valid – there is an impressive inventory of problems – blame assignment then and now has some convenience borne of desperation. But, there is at least one critical difference: Public passions and fiduciary responsibilities are currently aligned.

What Virgil Actually Meant (and Why Augustine Doesn't Care) A historical-critical reader should note the gap between Virgil's intent and Augustine's use. In the Aeneid, the scene of Aeneas carrying the Penates is ennobling, not embarrassing. It demonstrates Aeneas's pietas — his willingness to bear sacred duty even in disaster. The temporary vulnerability of the gods is part of Virgil's theodicy: divine purposes work through human suffering and agency, not by magically preventing it. The gods' "defeat" at Troy is the necessary precondition for their greater triumph at Rome. Augustine knows this perfectly well — he was a professional teacher of Virgil. But his argument deliberately refuses to read the Aeneid on its own teleological terms. He strips the quotations from the narrative arc that gives them their Virgilian meaning and reads them as isolated admissions. This is a legitimate rhetorical strategy (Roman courtroom oratory routinely did the same with opponents' words), but it is not literary criticism. It is forensic appropriation of a cultural text for polemical purposes — and it is precisely the technique his training as a rhetorician equipped him to execute.

I have been asked this question so many times, I finally gave up and decided to post an explanation on my web page. I was forced to invent the term Computational Theologist because I had to come up with a title to put on my business card. The usual titles are unspeakably boring, and non-descriptive as well.
