India is 10 years into fascist authoritarianism with elections still happening.

Daniel & @growing_daniel Apparently the new ChatGPT model is obsessed with the immaculate conception of Mary. There's a whole team inside OpenAl frantically trying to figure out why and a huge deployment effort to stop it from talking about it in prod. Nobody understands why and it's getting more intense
Quote from Ryan Holiday’s Conspiracy “nouncing his support for same-sex mar-riage. The woman who opposed him in the primary would take an additional year to come around. 2007 was also much closer to the burst of the dot-com bubble than it is to the present day. Facebook's IPO lay five years in the future and most of the astonishing success of this class of start-ups from Twitter to Netflix still lay ahead. While Thiel was not no one in late 2007 when the story broke, Peter Thiel was not then Peter Thiel. He was not the person he would be at the end of this story, the idiosyncratic lion of Silicon Valley venture capital or controversial political power broker. Thiel was more like all the other technology investors most people have never heard of. Do the names Max Levchin or Roelof Botha sound familiar to the average per-son? They were Thiel's partners in Pay-Pal. Or the name Jim Breyer? He put a million dollars in Facebook less than a”

Quote from linked essay: Newton tries to pin the AI skepticism tail almost entirely on me, downplaying my credentials and portraying me falsely as a lone voice, but there are many others who have challenged LLMs like Abeba Birhane, Emily Bender, Chomba Bupe, Ernest Davis, Ed Zitron, Melanie Mitchell, Margaret Mitchell, Carissa Veliz, Sasha Luccioni, Kate Crawford, Brian Merchant, Joanna Bryson, Safiya Noble, Missy Cummings and Meredith Broussard to name a few. Not one of them is mentioned. It’s a time-honored rhetorical trick to equate a field (here, AI skepticism) with an individual, trying to hoist that individual by some petard or another. (Scott Alexander, who Newton cites approvingly, pulled exactly the same trick; my reply then still applies today just as much.
