Sam Altman is in the singularity, in that he is now convinced LLMs are smarter than him, he doesn't understand the tech or how it is evolving, and he doesn't know what's going to happen next.

The rest of us are not in his exact predicament. I was going to say we're fine, but nah.

I mean, it was probably pretty bad for the large fraction of the population who were slaves, and not great for the plebeians either. The guys who were educated enough and had the leisure to be writing stuff down may have left out some of the downsides that weren't apparent to them.

Once you are working over distances where the speed of light starts to really matter, there is no "Earth UTC", no "what time is it right now on Earth?" because there is no "right now" that isn't right here.

But yeah, the second of relative time is an SI unit with a physical definition now; that's staying.

The Roman Empire was such a laughably bad way of running a country/countries.

The main good point of the year of 4 emperors for most people was, yes, at the end of it you'd had another year of horrific misrule as usual, but at least 3 of the arseholes were dead, which was better than average.
