posit: I’ve almost never seen a quality iPhone-esque breakthrough that was preceded by months of midday hype tweets about what’s coming. those kinds of posts usually instead signal being blocked in some way and/or procrastination. when you have a strong hand your temptation is to draw attention away from yourself

starting to get over vinyl. what someone should make are little coaster-sized chips with album art on them so a device can look up the album and stream it instantly in lossless. would evoke the tactility of manually selecting music without taking up a bunch of space.

seems to be a huge part of the political spectrum that simply doesn’t have any of the consequences of their policies worked out. we used to have a serious, intellectually rigorous left and a serious, intellectually rigorous right. everyone had an idea of what bullet they were biting to get what they wanted. no so now

Q* story seems to be a plant to drive the hype train. Again, if this were the actual reason, it would have been reported earlier. It wasn’t. And for what it’s worth, it seems incremental.

Seems like Sam had done separate things to irk at least Helen (criticize her paper) and Adam (compete with Poe). Either in isolation likely wouldn’t have caused this. Taken together though, beef on a stick.

If Ilya + EAs were convinced somehow that they’d created something that was an *existential threat* to humanity, how is firing sama the proper course of action? Why wouldn’t you take further steps to 1) leak this reasoning to the press as a counternarrative, 2) figure out a way to cast it into the fire?
