The idea of the free market always boils down to: no regulation until we decide otherwise.

I have often argued for it on here, but I want eg the EU to ban these kinds of recommender algorithm's. It’s all about weaponizing your nervous system against you just to show ads. If we ban it tomorrow society literally becomes better

This is what I am always curious about with these tech valuations. They’re valued at multiple times earnings, often 30+. That implies 30 years to earn back an investment iff earnings are payed out. Yet all are immediately enshittifying or p

Its not a grift if it works. If a Chinese corp copies at 90% quality at 50% price within a year it means your American business model was never a good one for competing in international markets. The real grift arguably is pretending that it

My feeling is that its a difference in how funding works in different places. The USA will go all in with the populations pensions on a gamble, the Chinese subsidize. This way of operating is typical for the EU. > Being one year behind i

They’re in the EU. If they are a year or so behind and things start to plateau they’ll catch up. Americans perhaps don’t realize we can also tariff their digital goods to protect our own. There is a scenario where Americans and Chinese foot

Honestly being only 1 year behind makes me an optimist. You’re telling me Europe can be slightly behind with 1000x less capex and way more sustainable economics? Awesome. The world moves slower than AI progresses, I can see a scenario where

Who else controls it? Are you going to say: 'the government'?

by koe123 10d ago
Yes and I love your framing: “the digital night if long knives”. I anticipate it to go a typical way: consolidate more and more industries and power, create a hierarchy that benefits from the system such that they keep it in place, and fina

Given you’re using big words without explaining them and decorating your argument with patronizing language like “no, just no”, perhaps I should just yield. Even if you turn out to make a convincing argument later, if you really care about

I’m somewhat bearish, but if AI becomes as good as some think, there is no mechanism in place to redistribute the outcomes. For now, humans have leverage because our labour is necessary. Wealth is power, and currently attainment goes throug

I think your own values are coming through pretty clearly. Understandably, telling a parent they shouldnt have had kids is bound to strike a nerve. Having kids is great. Having kids is also the worst single thing you can do for the environm

Sorry, but are you questioning the consistency of the trump administration? This is entirely unremarkable.

Maybe I am vastly underestimating it, but I could imagine this being buildable atop of nix quite straightforward?

Implicitly its payment via data but most people don't understand. Theres an asymmetry in the transaction to me.

Maybe I am too propagandized, but honestly after going Nix I can’t help but feel like this stuff is fundamentally a waste of time

Thats great, although understand that unionizing protects the more vulnerable of also the software engineered. You not advocating for your rights also means weakening others. Is it still self interested to unionized from that perspective?

Did we ever figure out fully decentralized hosting? I.e. nodes so small they cannot sustainably cease and desist?

While knowledge is always great, I would encourage people not to seek advice from successful people like this (survivorship bias). Moreover I am not sure it is even good advice? Would you advise a 17 y.o. to learn how transistors work or ho

I have a theory that AI code looks good because you never subsequently come up with your own alternative.

Effective altruism is a grift that justifies “get as much money as possible for the individual” so that “you can then so something good with it”. Aha! OK bro you’re saying you should have all the things huh? Anyone into this shit should be
