I finally got all of my personal devices switched over the other day, so far not missing anything. Just need a password manager and then maybe email accounts.

Using his own terminology here. He says in the piece that bad faith is often 'incorrectly' defined as ill intent, and my argument is that the ill intent is a package deal.

Can I argue that misrepresenting yourself in an argument intentionally is, in fact, done with ill intent an overwhelming majority of the time.

Ah yes, Google the benevolent gatekeeper to my user interest metrics, surely not to sell them to anyone who is willing to pay the smallest pittance upon mere request.

Ah yes, computer programming, the leader in biological sciences.

It was not on my bingo card today to witness someone attempt to ascribe legitimacy to intelligent design through application of computer programming concepts but here we are.

Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.

Oh I am aware, but the claim they are reporting on is pretty staggering.

It's the trade school they send all the drones through after they hatch

"smart and hardworking people" aside, the normalization and dismissal of these statements as just marketing or otherwise harmless fibs has enabled a consistent escalation of scope and affect. Design shortcuts that Tesla has made have resulted in actual death and injury, and claiming that the cars have agi even in a rudimentary sense is astonishing.

Somewhat akin to the e-libertarians who are convinced they will assume the role of dominant survivor slash ruling class once the pesky government collapses and gets out of their way. As if their inability to attain success in the current socioeconomic climate had anything to do with outside forces limiting their potential. The rolling of my eyes is intense enough to attain gravitational coefficient.

Realistically this is a hyperbolic liar completely disconnected from reality spewing said hyperbolic lies into the public sphere, unfortunately to a somehow still receptive audience.

 

I don't have anything to say that the title doesn't already. Consider my gast to be flabbered, my gob to be smacked. I hate this timeline.

 

Thanks for this, UN.
