I Hear You Move Carpets
Added 2025-03-18 16:50:52 +0000 UTCRiley, Nova, and Hussein talk about the trials and tribulations of trying to give every job in the world to a computer, as “Agentforce” fails to materialise, discuss Jan Marsalek (finally), and look at a terrible new startup. Also, a new Political Son rises… and this one is a soundcloud rapper.

2025-03-19 15:44:12 +0000 UTCI don't know why I'm shocked by the Lutnik thing, but I thought one of the innovations of capitalism, was creating ownership structures that prevented idiot sons from tanking large concerns. You give the idiot sons shares and a no show seat at the Board and let them soundcloud. The fact the partners of Cantor Fitzgerald agreed to this, seems kind of symbolic of how closed off and scoleric the elite has become. Good times ahead

2025-03-19 13:51:57 +0000 UTCI just like the idea that the ultimate result of the AI revolution is a lot of accidental grocery orders for all the members of Slipknot.
Nah
2025-03-19 11:44:24 +0000 UTCIt's totally insane - that's what the Meiji Restoration was! Famously that consolidated hierarchy even rebuilt itself after the relative economic levelling of World War II! On the other hand, the "wandering Salaryman Ronin" did more or less happen after the bubble crash shredded the graduate-to-retirement corporate lifetime employment thing, it's what the movie Tokyo Sonata is about.

2025-03-19 03:02:24 +0000 UTCUnfortunately those mecs are why Riley was cursed to have been born and raised in Ontario, endlessly mocked for claiming it has microclimates. (His family was based in Quebec when it was still the financial hub.)

2025-03-19 02:59:57 +0000 UTCThe reason that one agent ordered eggs sent to an address in Des Moines is probably because Microsoft has an enormous number of their Azure cloud data centers in the Des Moines metro, implying I think one of two things - either the computer thinks that all of its users/colleagues are also just computers living in Des Moines, or the bot was trying to scam customers to order itself some delicious eggs

2025-03-18 23:20:23 +0000 UTCIt is somewhat reassuring that despite Musk's best efforts Grok ends up being somewhat normal. I can imagine it saying "I know you told me to find a way to fix the world by killing the poors, but I found a more efficient strategy that does not kill the poors". Mitchell and Webb were the Nostradami (?) of our time with the amount of stuff they foresaw.

2025-03-18 19:22:27 +0000 UTC"The samurai couldn't rebrand" has gotta be one of the worst Japanese history takes I've ever heard. Which is crazy, because the rest of the list is mainly Japanese PMs lying about WWII.

2025-03-18 18:58:22 +0000 UTCFun fact, IBM did something similar to Salesforce. IBM was bundling their AI bloatware in with their mainframe license agreements¹. There was a whole securities fraud suit brought against them for it. Mostly l just think it's funny that mainframes are profitable, AI is not.

2025-03-18 18:42:48 +0000 UTCI'll be glad to let you know about my Camjam experiment this year. Trashfuture is one of the few pods that hold up under the scrutiny of audiophile grade headphones that I assume were reasonably priced because I refused to look. I won't name names other that to praise Nate, but there are very high budget productions that sound like N64 games look.
