I simply don't know what to say to someone who firmly believes that the electronic boxes being installed at bus stops to show arrival times of buses are spraying electricity into the air and causing breathlessness. It's dirty air that's causing breathlessness. Or a history of smoking etc.

He's shoddy, alarmist, often inaccurate, and the tone of doomy breathlessness encourages despair and conspiracy thinking rather than any sort of political action

perfectly captures my feelings on the AGI breathlessness. the burden of proof is on these companies to show that there’s something beyond trend lines on a graph. what i’m more interested in is how this stuff is being used now (there already seems to be a lot of negative externalities)
The use cases of the most devoted AI enthusiasts are limited, more than half speculative, and come with massive social consequences. What am I supposed to be excited about exactly?
Better Q: why isn’t my being *mildly interested* not enough?

It’d be cool if the New York Times reported on this with the same intensity and breathlessness they give to “Here’s how much Joe Biden has aged in the last 5 minutes.”

Yes. There’s a certain bizarre breathlessness and a palpable thrill even, in the media reportage on the far right. Frightening, really.
It was confirmed yesterday that the centre left coalition won the election in Sweden
As predicted, with the far right performing poorly, coverage has almost entirely vanished from international media

You may be relieved but spare a thought for so many editors in the mainstream media who were hoping to run hyping headlines about the far right winning in Sweden
As always when SD is hyped and ends up crashing, I expect Swedish politics will drop off the radar as it's no longer sexy enough

And... just like that... one of my canary people has tested positive for Covid (they test when ill because they care for an elderly relative) and one has "a really sharp cough, breathlessness, dizziness, fever and fatigue" (I'll drop a test to them tomorrow).

The gish galloper *thinks* that this makes them look smart, educated, that emulating the breathlessness of their favorite popsci "time is kind of like a potato" bullshit is what the learning process looks like.

For me it's not just the running commentary, but the breathlessness of it.
They're so in awe of their own supposed genius and imagined bravery, and it is so nauseating seeing these ignorant cowards loudly bray about themselves that way

the idea of endlessly commentating on these evil, rancid, huckster monsters as they strip everything valuable in the US for parts every day for possibly the rest of my life makes me want to go hide in a cave and cultivate knowledge of the orphic mystery cult
