Solo-dadding, hopped up on cold meds, both of which are impacting social media attention which I’m only giving attention anyway because of the cold. Think a bit literally; reading language is “adding” information to our memory. To explain c

The government regulates their existence, their ability to grow, hire, develop services. Section 230 regulates what is allowed. DMCA, etc etc You say I should not be silly but I can believe what I like. Which is it? You are not really selli

You think he’s wrong about how great government control would be, but the government is in control.

As inequality has grown, so has the deficit. But for decades, government programs ran surpluses. It’s not hard to explain it away in memorized economics terms. The thing is those terms are merely one set of reasonable, generic language. Not

I don’t mean the glyphs, “math as a language.” I mean intuition for state change in our meat bags. I mean measuring and building things that fit what we’d call in language now a use case, has been a thing humanoids have done forever. Litera

People say the same after a long, solo walk in nature. A more apt headline would be “doing a variety of things instigated valuable state change in our biology.” Qualified answers are customization of well known generalizations.

I’ve been in meetings where rich elders openly admit to ageism; who cares about the problems this will create, they said, they’ll be dead by then! This was back in the 00s before the last decade plus of expanded info awareness. Scientific m

Humanoids have been around for millions of years. In universal timescales language has existed as long a TV. I’m arguing figurative identity built through linguistic structures is bad for us. That it binds inner monologue to circling fantas

Human languages are ~5,000 years old while human intuition for quantity (enough heat, food, water), spatial geometry has evolved along with us from the start. GabeN has discussed how relatively easy it is to make tech that can engage with t

Such an idea has been discussed for centuries. Adam Smith warned division of labor would lead people to become “…as stupid and ignorant as it is for a human creature to become.” by repeating the same career behaviors for too long. IMO this

So its about technical guidance, not approval to include code. Got it.

Jason open sourced the project. Why would they need his approval?

The article was observed, not the events. I know PR people who plant such articles for profit, all the details are vague enough to seem possible. Even the supposed pictures of eng folk with printed code could be in on the gag. CNBC got trol

Anxiety and a lot of gossip can make people do dumb things, like make non-technical middle managers issue stupid edicts because they don’t know about git logs. I’ve worked for orgs where engineer head count alone pushed 250 people. The numb

Perhaps Twitter is staffed by middle managers who sell well in interviews but have zero fucking clue. I’d like to see Twitter fire the cottage industry of professional non-contributors that has seeped into tech for the pay. Employees like t

He’s certainly made people believe he’s rich! But making a lot of money in a market that’s organically interested in tech the last few decades still does not make Musk literally the most valuable person alive except when measuring in politi

Space man has direct impact on my agency; I need to believe in money and wealth for him to be rich. I really don’t get the general public deflating the value of their self agency for dedication to Elon and Co todo list. We’ll except the cop

There is no right to zero consequences for speaking freely. I say give users the moderation power and let aggregate voting dictate content that remains visible. No one wants public control of democracy though. What these guys want is a busi

That’s true about McDonalds; one can say the brand has value but it’s just an attempt to influence belief. You’re not actually making any kind of new point. Just expressing your deference to old ones. Point taken.

Yeah it’s all indirection to generate hype for a new way to manage electron state in a machine. You see, it is beneath Jack and Co. to participate in the real work of keeping themselves alive. Jack recently apologized for his role in centra

Outsized success story is high minded gibberish. He’s riding on the coattails of his family’s mining business with a suspect ethical history. I love these “don’t punch down the people who started at the top.” Why do you hate yourself so muc

I did not mean just tech workers. Society follows the demands of a minority of wealth holders. Science minded engineers who prattle on about doing for science not “story mode”. There is no science that suggests the leaders we have are infal

I love living in a society where oligarchs can have their way with us and that’s “freedom”.

Poor developers keeping society afloat with no help whatsoever. Let’s give the food producers your benefits. They’re probably far more valuable to me than you will ever be. Why empower you with such economic agency then?

Fork it and move on. Humanity has shown it’s all about control of ethno-bubbles. Our biology seeks power and influence. Rent seeking. Stop giving it to these ephemeral terms, logos, memes, and importing the gibberish of outsiders, giving th

I think what you mean to say is not everyone can handle more than learning one functional set of skills. Which is sad and lazy thinking. If you can drive a car and program a machine you can handle two common “roles” in our economy. Clearly

If only an automation existed to smooth over the bureaucracy. Amazon CEO is shipping sound bites that make him sound like a victim. Poor aristocrat; he’ll have to wave his wrist and get the workers to automate the task.

Why must it be true every penny they earn is through real work? They have earned a lot of tax breaks and free gov cash over the years to stabilize business. Maybe it’s all a weird web of savings and investing, years of inflating their wealt

Wow, trite cynicism on social media for others; such a great showcase of your unique and quirky personality. Social media is an open sewer of low effort demands of the world to serve individual sensibilities, revealing the apes are not as c
