That…sounds a rad optimistic.

“Move fast and break things” always sounded like terrible words to live by to me. Maybe more people will agree now that we see some of the broken things are people.

Fair enough and I’m sorry if I sounded judgy. I I know it doesn’t apply to everyone, but I think a major reason for Amazon’s success is that they’ve made acquiring things too convenient. A lot of people (I know I did) fall into the trap of over-consumption. I’ve come to conclude that spending my money ought to come with a little friction.

I do this thing where if I need something, I go to a store and buy it. It has resulted in a lot less buying of useless stuff that I didn’t really need and ends up just taking up space. YMMV

That’s so weird. I haven’t gotten any of these vague confirmation emails. Oh, that’s right. I remember why. Because I don’t buy a thing from that fucking oligarch’s website.

Me either. Feels weird to be complaining about it on the internet though. It’s almost like the solution is self-evident. Oh, well. It’ll come to me.

If it’ll mow down bollards, it’ll mow down toddlers. It can’t distinguish between the two.

If AI is so wonderful they could afford to put up solar panels to power the data centers.

We must obey our robot overlords. I don’t make the rules.

I been wondering how long it was going to take for someone official to realize that “prediction market” just means “gambling.”

Another reason to give up facebook. I’ve been off it for a decade.

In case you were worried about poor Meta, they made about $68 Billion in net profit in the past year, which translates to 186 million every single day. This amount is about 3 days worth of earnings. Not nothing, but does anyone think it’s enough to make them change their behavior?
