Elizabeth Lopatto has some things to say about Marc Andreessen (and other techbros).
> Marc Andreessen is a philosophical zombie. https://www.theverge.com/tldr/897566/marc-andreessen-is-a-philosophical-zombie
"I’ve been wondering for a while why many of our Silicon Valley overlords behave like they’ve repeatedly sustained traumatic brain injuries, and I think I’ve come to a conclusion … If you stop using some skill, mental or physical, you lose it and its benefits."
[contd]
> "If you stop using some skill, mental or physical, you lose it and its benefits. We’ve already seen signs of this with heavy users of AI … So I’m going to suggest that overreliance on AI is bad for you — which suggests a corollary: Whatever is happening to normal people as a result of AI overreliance has already happened to the ultra-wealthy."
IOW? Andreessen is AI-pilled. He's lost the ability to introspect because he's outsourced that, ALONG WITH HIS AGENCY, to an AI Agent.

@jackwilliambell He became such a zombie *well before* AI entered the scene.
I keep noticing that folks in high positions of power say they want a thing done and just... expect it to happen.
Because they're used to obsequious bootlickers falling over themselves to please their masters - all of the complexity is hidden behind that scrambling.
It's why people in power get frustrated with simple human limitations - they own people who help them avoid such things.
