Every TC article I've seen recently is furious jerking about how totally legal AI is and how it will finally defeat the copyright Great Satan.

Maybe he realized it wasn't important after all.

He's exactly the Gilfoyle looking mother fucker you think he is.

Setting up email and actually getting into people's mailbox isn't trivial.

It's rdrama, they're in another league of weird. Fun fact: TheMotte is using a fork of rdrama's code.

Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I'm hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they're more than welcome) if he's going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it's a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.

Rhysider's editorial comments come off a bit naieve and even a bit childish at times. His good attitude is sort of infectious though.

I still don't think cortical electrodes should even be described as a direct interface. A direct interface would speak action potential and connect to your spinal cord, like Ghost in the Shell or The Matrix.
