The best at this I’ve seen in person: Barack Obama.
The worst: Hillary Clinton.
BUT: after she delivered a tone-deaf generic talk to a small crowd of supporters, she then tirelessly worked the room, talking to each person one by one with interest and knowledge, impressing them serially.
James Fallows @jfallows.bsky.social
Every successful politician knows how to read the room and constantly make micro-adjustments in message, depending on "the room." It's the price of admission. Stick to your main themes; adjust bass/treble. With smooth ones you barely notice this is happening. We all have favorite examples...

Ironies around this Anthropic copyright settlement:
a) That's about $3000 more than I ever made from the original books. b) Would have missed the notification if I didn't have an LLM scouring my mail. c) The money will likely go right back to a bunch of AI labs via OpenRouter.

It's funny how there are sooo many similarities between the Fallout series and Silo, that I'm getting confused about various specific elements sometimes if they were in this one or that one 😅

I am the boomer now, telling the young zoomers a very narrow version of how boomers think they perfected music and culture, except it’s me saying: you children and teens will never make a better dance song than dancing on my own, back in My day..

Again and again, demanding work from dozens or hundreds or thousands of unaffected dependents instead of fixing vulnerability scanners does not scale, and is an open source sustainability issue.

One thing I have learned talking to lots of people about AI is that they can be both worried about the implications of AI and very excited about using AI themselves. I think people on this site tend to view many people's attitudes to AI as much less complicated than they are.
