Also Kagi is a glorified Google front end.

The fact a glorified Google front end manages to be less shit than Google is a pretty damning indictment of Google, I'll give Kagi that. Quoting Cory Doctorow, gratuitous italics and all:

The implications of this are stunning. It means that Google's enshittified search-results are a choice. Those ad-strewn, sub-Altavista, spam-drowned search pages are a feature, not a bug. Google prefers those results to Kagi, because Google makes more money out of shit than they would out of delivering a good product: https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/2/24117976/best-printer-2024-home-use-office-use-labels-school-homework

This article is excellent, and raises a point that’s been lingering in the back of my head–what happens if the promises don’t materialize? What happens when the market gets tired of stories about AI chatbots telling landlords to break the law, or suburban moms complaining about their face being plastered onto a topless model, or any of the other myriad stories of AI making glaring mistakes that would get any human immediately fired?

If we're lucky, we might end up with a glut of cheap GPUs/server space once the bubble pops.

The next AI winter is coming, and it looks like its going to be a brutal one.

The Fake Nerd Boys of Silicon Valley isn't directly about TESCREAL, but its dissection of Silicon Valley's complete and utter misunderstanding of sci-fi/fantasy does still work wonders against Yudkowsky et al's views IMO.

Good riddance.

May 2024: Things somehow get worse

It reminds me of that clown who made a video on how to consume media more efficiently by watching anime on 2x speed and skipping the “boring parts”.

...what the fuck

And nobody was shocked.

I do not expect the judge to go lenient on SBF.

The evidence proving his fraud was overwhelming, the scale of it was colossal, and all signs point to SBF being utterly unapologetic for the fraud he's done and entirely unwilling to change.

He's getting at least a decade, mark my words.

I'd bet good money any judge reading this is gonna go "Yep, this kid does not want to change" and ramp up the sentence as a result.
