Don’t know if this is better or worse than what I worried about.

Love this.

I’ve wanted to get a seminary degree for a while, and I’ve often wondered if my seminary thesis would be on theology and technology, but I never expected to be in dueling theologies with Peter Thiel.

Pour vraiment atteindre l’égalité, il faut non seulement ouvrir « le masculin » mais aussi valoriser « le féminin »

Il est souvent utile de lire une perspective étrangère sur tout ce qui se passe actuellement aux États-Unis, même quand ça me déprime.

Nick Fuentes is trouble.

Rand Paul continues to be right on this.

More money for libraries, less for LLMs.

Le minigolf est suisse ? Je savais pas du tout !

Good overview of recent Grok nonsense.

Better grab these while I can.

The effect on university budgets is among the least objectionable parts of the Big Beautiful Bill, and it’s still devastating.

I frequently disagree with Rand Paul, but when he’s right, he’s usually really, really right.

Habitant dans un « désert ferroviaire » ressens une jalousie profonde !

Wild read. It’s as if the right is an alliance between the most dangerous coddling of Big Tech and the dumbest criticisms of it.

Ugh, this article makes it sound even worse.

What a depressing story.

Je regrette un peu ne pas m’être offert davantage de souvenirs Migros lors de mon séjour en Suisse.

Perhaps the best demonstration yet of why we need to talk about epistemology when we talk about generative AI. Gift link. It turns out that it takes an awful lot of intervention to get Grok to be “maximally truth-seeking” and “neutral.”

Trop cool !

Je connaissais pas l’existence d’UniDistance Suisse, et maintenant j’ai envie d’en apprendre plus.

There are many worse things happening in our country right now, but also: this is petty and embarrassing.

Did not realize that dashcam surveillance was a thing. I hate that it is, and I hate that Flock is going here.

This is horrifying. Reading the headline is one thing, but reading some of the details is stomach-churning. I’m not a lawyer, and as disgusted as I am with this, I don’t know what legal liability should look like here. I feel more comfortable describing this as ethically bankrupt, though. I think I would have many fewer concerns about generative AI if it weren’t a platformized consumer product. Whatever the right legal response to this is, OpenAI has some moral responsibility for this sort of thing.

I don’t have the whole picture here, and I don’t like passing judgment without having the whole picture, but I don’t know if I like this.
