  AI regulation proposals that do not address China issues specifically and forthrightly should be treated with suspicion.

  China

  Their words

  If you are reading proposals or for that matter tweets for AI regulation, and the writer does not deal with these China issues in a forthright and very specific manner, you should be very suspicious indeed.

  There is no basic animal learning process called imitation; the basic processes are prediction and trial-and-error control.

  Their words

  If you go to look about how psychologists think about learning, there's nothing like uh imitation. Maybe there are some extreme cases where humans might do that or appear to do that, but there's no basic animal learning process called imitation.

  The malaise in the game industry needs no complicated theory: the games that failed recently simply were not fun enough to compete with everything else in people's lives.

  Their words

  And when you look at a lot of the games that failed recently, they just didn't deliver fun or they didn't deliver fun in a manner that was nearly competitive with the other sources of fun just in people's lives.

  The Dagger and the Coin

  Their words

  This is a worthy entry in the genre. It suffers a bit from extensive plot not about banking and characters who barely speak to dragons. But all of that irrelevant fluff makes it one of the most underrated fantasy series I’ve ever read.

  The Unix Programming Environment

  Their words

  The Unix Programming Environment is a book you can't read too soon. It's something I wish I'd come across years before I actually did. An authoritative and comprehensive manual for using Unix as a programmer, it clearly explains concepts such as inodes, hard and soft links, system calls, and the power of joining programs together via stdin and stdout. By the time I came across this book I already knew these concepts, but had never studied them before in one place, and in such a coherent manner.
