• Air America lasted about 5 years in the 2000s, and it was exactly this. The Republicans would never let their stations die like Air America did.

• We don’t have to put it in charge of nuclear weapons, it just has to find a way into those systems, many of which are fairly old, like it’s broken into websites without anyone telling it to.

• Yeah the Waltons aren’t super liked outside of that little town, and there are plenty inside it who aren’t fond of them anymore as the city bends to their whims. Sometimes you benefit from what they do, sometimes it fucks up something you liked already. A little of their guilt money is in my nonprofit’s bank account. I am happy to be using it for things they’d probably hate.

• Billionaires aren’t people in the same sense that we are, Cook has turned his back on the queer community, so he can say whatever he wants about himself, but he’s not gay in the same sense that the rest of us are.

• I was thinking of Gil this morning, very much reminiscent.

  But wearables are like 3/4 of Apple’s strategy for the future and optical is a huge part of that and the Vision Pro is just them getting started, not them bowing out. They just want others to enter the space and start making these expensive mistakes so Apple doesn’t have to, including overcoming the social barrier of filming literally everything. It’s coming. Just like folks didn’t really resist social media, we’re not going to really resist this.

• Back up to even having that be a point. We could solve a lot of crimes if everyone’s phone reported our location and recorded our voices for the police. We could solve a lot of crimes if the cops put cams in everyone’s house. Why don’t we do this? The constitution. I don’t care of Flock solves 100k crimes a year, it’s unconstitutional so it’s not an option.

• There’s a key involved that we don’t have, so people can’t do this on their own. It’s pretty fascinating. Training models would have to be told to check for watermarks and ignore them, but yeah that would be an effective way for the providers to avoid ingesting their own AI output.

• I got caught up working on my old house this summer. Doing carpentry and electrical and a half dozen other things. Nothing digital, only hands. Now I can barely force myself to be near a screen, like it’s painful. I am sitting at work counting the seconds until I can go home at lunch and pull a couple of nails. But there’s no way doing that work would pay what I make for sitting a few hours a day on my ass, so those hours are just gone, to a fog.
