Indeed. But the feeling of well-being is not absolute, but relative to you socio-economic context. The average American is manitudes better off now than 200 years ago, in absolute terms. But are they just as many magnitudes more happy? No.

Is it actually? It doesn't give out reliable information and its "creativity" is questionable. Most of the excitement about it has to do with anthropomorphizing a robot that "feels" like an intelligent conversation

1000 generations into the future? People to whose genome you contributed 2^-1000, i.e. almost nothing? Who know neither your name nor care about it? Like you don't really care about your ancestors 1000 generations ago? Or 100,000 gener

I do. And their well-being has to me little to do with the continued existence of our species a few generations down the line.

And suddenly you care a lot about the "how", not just the "what". Voiding the whole "but it's declarative!" argument. At least in imperative code the "how" is explicit. In functional code it&#x27

And why would anybody care? Will you or anybody who will know about you be alive at that point? There are millions if not billions alive today who are suffering from war, famine, dictatorships. And climate change is just making that worse

If you have a security background then you know that 0days go for 6-7 figures and it's unlikely somebody would burn one of those on some random dude. Way to make yourself feel important. It's not that you made some terrible choice
