This is anecdotal, but every time I say I have a bad feeling about something

(See: Elon and companies, alleged grassy knoll ear shots, LLMs, cryptocurrency, Gamergate, project 2025)

And I get tech people yelling at me in the comments,

Within two years I’m proven extremely right.

I’m kinda just over people yelling at me. The more people get super angry about me saying something is fishy as hell, the more south it’s going.

I think that is because they’re all attached to really hype, addictive, subversive things, and We Computer People think we’re immune to that. To the point of getting aggressive when someone says they’re bad.

@hacks4pancakes This. And then there’s the massive FOMO every time bad but shiny tech gets hyped. Tech people loooove shiny things, and FOMO is the mind killer.

FOMO is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my FOMO. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the FOMO has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
