Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.

I'm starting to think that some writing classes would really help the EA/LR crowd.

Just a minor paragraph rewrite for clarity.

“The reality of generative AI is you’ve got to have a foundation of cloud computing,” AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Dave Levy, whose compensation relies on him successfully growing Amazon's computer rental income, told Nextgov/FCW in a June 26 interview at AWS Summit. “You’ve got to get your data in a place where you can actually do something with it.”

It's always so tedious when these little conflict of interest notes are left out of articles.

People who seem impressive until you listen to their ideas are a real theme around here.

Is there some EA culture thing where every thought has to be expanded into essay form?

I applaud your optimism that most people can do this without AI but have you gone and met people? Most people are not that capable of producing torrents of shameless bullshit as conscience or awareness of social and/or professional costs rear their head at some point.

Well, minimum 32 years, as presumably there would be some inbox time and drafting time on either end, misunderstandings and subsequent discussion being so critical to avert when followups take a while.

I came here for his full-throated support of Apple Music staying installed no matter what and I am so sorely disappointed.

Last year, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, came out against the effort by Próspera to exploit the dispute resolution system to undermine Honduran sovereignty. “In the case of Próspera,” they write, “a ZEDE located largely on the Honduran island of Roatán, investors have created a governing council where 44 percent of members are appointed by the private company and 22 percent are elected by landowners in a system where their number of votes is proportional to the size of their property.”

Why are they being described as crypto-libertarians when it turns out they are moving the electoral clock back two hundred years to before the abolishment of rotten boroughs? That's a significantly conservative political arrangement there.

I'm always very nonplussed about what claims to pass for thought in white nationalist crowds.

The stopped-clock moment in this whole is definitely where he dimly grasps that Republican audiences are way more openly positive to white nationalism than they were.

A really good lesson on offline backups of things like issue trackers, though.

This whole festival sounds like it could have used conflict of interest subtitles. When somebody's voice is saying "I actually think that AI (blah, blah)" there's one subtitle with the words and another with phrasing such as "(Person)'s annual stock award will be increased by (number)% if paid subscriptions to (company)'s AI product rise by (number)%."
