So true - same for me. Maybe because I'm older now? Not sure.
I think this translates to a few different mediums. I'm thinking about modern matchmaking in video games today. I used to play a game called SOCOM II back on the PS2 and it was all lobby based. You had to jump around to…
The root of all our evils, right here. We only want the fastest cheapest thing possible, without thinking about how it impacts literally everything else about our world.

You can have a fulfilling and rewarding career in tech without working for a monster. The mental gymnastics people do to justify their decisions are hilarious. Just admit you have no morals and love money.
This, but take a bike ride or a bus instead of driving.
Why would you accept this? Who does this serve? I want to believe the world is full of good people but I read stuff like this and realize otherwise.
It's okay to do things that don't maximize your return. Everybody is so obsessed with squeezing out the maximum amount of money from everything, it's exhausting.
Who are you protecting here? You realize a very small subset of the population can afford a million dollar home, let alone a five million dollar home? The majority of the city does not give a shit.
Fair!
Why do people stan for billionaires? I don't get it - what motivates you to say this stuff? Most of what you said is greatly exaggerated or simply not true. It's like you cherry picked Fox News talking points.
> Increasing the tax to just inflate a bureaucracy helps nobody Bureaucracy = jobs, at least. I'd rather that than having it concentrated at the top.
Crazy how many people have their heads in the sand. I'm glad you could think of a couple examples where AI might not replace humans. It's almost an entirely useless point to make. The cat is already out of the bag. The…

Oh, the irony.
I've shifted my mindset to abandon this idea that humanity will survive forever, or that we should strive to live as long as we can. Intelligence is a scarcity and it cannot overcome the majority of people that are…
can't imagine getting this riled up over lowercase text. some serious fist-shaking-at-clouds energy. it's meant to convey a casual, laid back tone - it's not that big of a deal.
Just sounds absolutely miserable to prioritize that way of living that is so car dependent. So many negatives come from it: - pollution - traffic deaths - heat generation from all the infra - inefficient use of space -…
How many human drivers do you think would pass the bar you're setting? IMO, the bar should be that the technology is a significant improvement over the average performance of human drivers (which I don't think is that…
The signal-to-noise ratio is going crazy. How do you stand out when there are 10x as many people trying to make the same buck as you? There is so much garbage being created, it's insane.
