  • This is an extremely convenient view for the imperial central planners, but I dissent. Recursive grammars are a universal property of human language; not something that has to be manufactured at the expense of local communities' access to water. Of course, I am not expecting anything else to be expressed - you're not consciously biased, but the process of HN commenting selects for a person with those views. The supremacy of pushdown automatons - purely hypothetical constructs distinguished only by their capacity to consume a literally infinite quantity of our natural resources - over finite state machines, a view promulgated by the same media outlets that have a vested interest in exploiting it to redefine the relationship between journalistic labor and capital - is nothing compared to my personal ability to recall incidents from the past 80 years of Z magazine. The details are covered in my book about generative AI, "Manufacturing Content."

  • I don't think it's reasonable to take something the government is supposed to be protecting (right to contract) and turn them into its biggest threat. That's not security, it's letting the night guard raid the museum.
