Aging millennial disillusioned with big tech; adding anyone that makes me laugh or think critically in good faith. Nostalgic for the days of networking over BBS or IRC. No patience for technocrats or their sycophants.

This honestly explains a lot.
The fact that I can use a Linux phone in China and be a fully participating member of society, including mobile payments and everything, but I can't do that in any EU country, the US or Canada due to the payment methods there requiring SafetyNet and China not requiring that, has really broken my brain a little bit

If another country had attacked the United States and its first shot had killed the children in an elementary school, I believe that country would be a cloud of gas by now.

I shudder to think how long we will be witnessing the consequences of this unforgiveable action.

We watched Idiocracy (2006) and laughed at the future humans starving to death because they kept pouring Brawndo on their crops ("It's got what plants crave!").

you can tell who forgot all about 2016-2020 or weren't old enough by the way they still cling onto the "4D Chess" theories for what is just the largest group of stupid people.

We learned 10 years ago that it's just incompetence and being dumb as hell that drives everything. There's no "distraction from blah blah" or "set up to do blah blah in November"

They're just really... really... fucking.... stupid.

So if “gross profit per person” will be x4, will he also x4 their salaries?

I think we know the answer to this. That’s why “AI is empowering workers” is BS.

This research by Benn Jordan should haunt us all. He dug into the effects that the inaudible sounds coming from data centers have on people. It's grim.
