Let's talk about secret cabals for doing good!

Pros: they work and are sometimes necessary in order to coordinate activity amongst like-minded progressive people!

Cons: addictive, hard to disband, remaining secret generally destructive, tend to be exclusionary not only by design but also unintentionally!

re the rabbit r1's “ability to point the camera at a chunk of text and tell it to “explain this to me like I’m a 3rd grader” is fairly incredible”

-- feels like this is a sort of accessibility feature that Apple could do really well at, given their history and approach to accessibility. They've already been making little steps of progress here

see: Apple's door detection for people who are blind are with low vision, from 2022: locates doors, describes whether it's open/closed, whether opening requires pushing/turning a knob/pulling a handle; reads signs and symbols around the door like room number & presence of accessible entrance symbol

@trochee I'm actually sympathetic to this.

The functional literacy rate in the U.S. is atrocious. It's why the U.S. government advises that content be written to an eighth grade reading level or lower, and emphasis on lower.

(I know you mean there's a difference between explain-as-if-I'm-nine for people who are capable of it, but are “lazy”)

@trochee @eaton yeah, and do it reliably :)

but.

three pages of lawyer fine print are, in the best case, three pages because they're being very very precise. they may well expand to thirty pages of eighth grade reading level -- which might be fine

This is just to say, @danhon

I have read the thoughts that were in s18e09

they were so cold
(the thing about "you can only do things once you decide what's important")

and so delicious
(the thing about "...and what will make money-line-go-up")

> may not like confronting stuff they don’t like so much that ... they will not be open to or actively resist measuring how they’re doing in any way

... and all of that makes me want to ride along when you do your consulting thing.

pivoting to producing ai-generated content and producing ai training content for industry leaders is going to be about as great for media companies as pivoting to video was

In 2003, a friend ran her first 5k and raised money for a great cause, Guide Dogs for the Blind and I gave $20 happily. To this day, Guide Dogs mails me postcards every few months, no matter how many times my address changes. Today I got this text from the nonprofit 21 years after my sole donation.

My point is Customer Relations Management (CRM) software like Salesforce is too good at what it does and must be stopped.

we previously made a comparison of the prevalence of ai-generated content on the internet to low-background steel

this was inaccurate and we regret the error

the prevalence is more akin to a pandemic: exponential growth approaching totality

ADHD is great for being dropped into a crisis situation, consuming all the documentation, talking to everyone, and then synthesizing the gestalt back in a format useful to exec leadership and their board, I think?

Or it's just the adhd is comorbid with me being me?

legacy system modernization, but it's buildings and building infrastructure modernization with dangerous cosmetic cladding and self certification and an intentional lack of effective regulatory oversight and people burn and die

As I behold "Crush!", the new Apple ad for their Ipad Pro ...

... I fluctuate, with heisenbergian indeterminacy, between "they are clearly trolling us" and "they are totally earnest and have no idea how completely sociopathic they appear"
