“…and does not have wings.”
You have so much "freedom from" in a world with strong, effective, well-designed regulation. It's unreal. How amazing is it to be able to buy pretty much any food product and eat it without wondering (almost ever in…
It’s been interesting finding out just how many people in tech have the same chip on their shoulder as Syndrome, the villain from The Incredibles.
‘Tech’ culture has been getting nastier, more vicious, and more zero-sum for years now. It wasn’t even all that long ago that I remember feeling hurt when a friend of mine sneered about “tech bros.” But I get it now. I…

This kind of philistinism sucks.
Is this performance art? Pretty disrespectful to meat-proxy a response to someone engaging with your, uh, work. Edit: plausibly there’s no human in loop here at all, in which case fair play, I guess.
I would rather read Polglish or text machine-translated from Polish than Claudese.
Which recent demographic shifts?
Fat cat (checks notes) math professors have had it far too good for far too long. If they think they’re so smart, why didn’t they get a real job and raise venture funding for a scammy startup?
If you instead offer probabilities as answers, it picks the right one with high credence.
I'm sure Graeber is right about the ahistoricity of the orthodox just-so story of money, but I've always wondered if perhaps he misread the kind of 'speech act', if you will, that the story represents. What if…
What does experience mean? Does only private-sector experience "count?" Should we remove Alito from the bench on those grounds?
Lina Khan has never eaten breakfast cereal out of a boot, or even a shoe.
Fat cat math professors have had it too good for too long. It’s time they leave a few crumbs for AI company CEOs!
Only psychopaths interpret the prompt given to them by the world as, "make as much money as you can."
I’m no proponent of capital punishment, but to take the question seriously: as an extreme measure to disincentivize extreme externalities that would otherwise never be priced in. In the status quo, captains of industry…
Dear Garvy. You and your writing are wonderful. Sincerely, someone.
I don’t really understand this. Sometimes I see even stronger versions of this sentiment, that amount to saying, hey, it’s inevitable, so you might as well be e/acc. But you can just not do things. Societies can just…
Typo-free text. Typo-free text used to more be likely to also be well-written, but now it’s likely not to be. But also, obviously, they’re being a gadfly for funsies.
Indeed
I’m not making an argument, I’m offering a thought experiment: “what if workers are no longer needed at all, so that they have nothing to threaten to withhold?” It’s a bleak possibility.
Grammatically correct Claudish would say, “did not land clean.” Amateur hour.
What if even unions no longer have leverage?
No, of course $300k is a very high salary even on a US basis, never mind a global one. I’m not confused about that. I went my whole life thinking $100k was like “you’ve made it.” But it turns out that if you have what…
