LLM people think I'm hurting for story ideas. That's never the problem. I have lots of ideas. I know these stories better than my own flesh and blood body. It's coming up with an angle, plotting, time, energy, and creativity to write that's the problem. I don't need "AI". I need UBI.

@gwynnion There are so many places this applies besides writing. I'm an engineer (not usually considered a "creative" and I very easily tie most of my lack of ability to get things done to various unrelated life stressors.

It's almost like if people really cared about the economy, they'd try taking care of people instead of just sucking them dry.

@faithisleaping Seriously, if it were just the economy, the economy does better when people are better paid and have more free time and the ability to spend it. The return on investment is amazing. It's just the tyranny of the bosses, from the small business asshole to the corporate boardroom to the politicians they pay for.

@faithisleaping @gwynnion Want actual innovation? Make it so people have time to experiment and work on their projects...

Our economy is so inefficient at anything other than siphoning wealth upwards.

And the economy is usually measured in real GDP, so capitalists have figured out how to grow it, along with massive income and wealth inequality.
