“I grew up in Florida, where there was no mass transit, and severe racial and economic segregation. When I first visited New York City, one of the things that impressed me the most was that you could get on a subway car and see everybody—businessmen, construction workers, teachers, homeless people, students, teenage breakdancers, every race, all types of nationalities, all together, at least momentarily, in the same space, equal.

writer's room has gone too far this season

Seeing usually smart folks getting rope-a-doped into arguing for LLM utility like there's a moral justice zero-sum trolley-problem slider between "useful" and "ethical" and we're just arguing about the best setting

But the real problem is even dumber
