perfect time to deploy my all time favorite meme
Becoming successful is not luck. It’s math.
If your probability of success is 1/100 and you try 100 times, you have a 100% chance of success.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trying 100 times with a 1/100 success probability per independent trial gives a 63% chance of at least one success (1 - 0.99^100), not 100%. math.stackexchange.com/questions/1885…

Trump is going to read the Bible this week at the White House. I am old enough to remember Bunker Bitch shooting tear gas at innocent protestors so he could walk across the street for a photo op, fondling a Bible upside down.

He was easily re-elected.
He was never impeached.
He was never charged with a crime.
He was never convicted of a crime.
He never fired his Attorney General.
He never started a new war.
He won a Nobel Peace Prize.
He’s not in the Epstein files.

The USA is a place with no healthcare, but 1000 billionaires.
At least 49 of those billionaires made all their money from Private Healthcare.
Perhaps you can connect the dots.

Trump went out of his way to stage a scene to remind all of America that we live in a country where grandparents have to work menial jobs to pay their hospital bills. Brilliant.

Living outside the SV eco-chamber is a super power 🦸♂️
Big tech is now finally hiring philosophers. Not as advisors. As staff. And they are all British! 🇬🇧
Anthropic did it first. Now Google DeepMind (Demis, also British) has followed.
Q. How do you build an artificial mind without a working theory of mind?
Q. How do you engineer consciousness without an ontology of what consciousness even is?
Q. How do you align intelligence you can't even define?
These aren't engineering problems.
They're age old questions of the humanities.
I've been publicly arguing with SV and folk like Elon Musk (since May 2023) that the humanities would be critical for AI.

since it's pretty close to tax day i'd just like to remind everybody that a few years ago the IRS was able to secure funding for a free tax filing service and was ready to release it nationwide until Donald Trump cancelled the program for literally no reason
