I want to go to work, cooperate with mature adults, make a paycheck and go back home. I don't want to have to help my colleagues through their mental health crises, I don't want them to cause a ruckus and I don't want to be recruited by them into a marxist revolution.

Every post exudes histrionism, grandeur, chuuni.

"I'm not capable of being a respectable Negro" I don't even know what that means, how about being a respectable person? I see your website and think "probably not".

It isn't about hurting others, it's about convenience and price.

ChatGPT has been the most downloaded app every month for a year and a half.

That's not how copyright works. If you use a pirated copy of photoshop the resulting image is not illegal.

I have a different hypothesis for why the GDPR exists: it is to create a market for EU based compliance companies.

Third world immigration actually makes things worse in two ways. The first one is that we have recently discovered that third world immigrants are net negative economically across their lifetime due to social security. The second one is that they all move to the big cities exacerbating the sponge city problem and its effects on fertility.

> But we can't just let Europe die out because of some sense of racial superiority.

What we are actually doing is we are letting europe die out of a sense of moral superiority, that we can do away with nasty (hydrocarbons) or scary (nuclear) sources of energy, that we must take in every third worlder because letting them live in the thrid world is a crime, that AI must be regulated to death because it enriches billionaries and "technofascists", etc etc

It reminds me of that scene in the ninth gate, we are going bankrupt in the way former nobility goes bankrupt.

It seems to me that this is still all the EU not keeping up with where the world is going. We started drafting the mercosur agreement 27 years ago so we finalize it and call it a victory, all that it's probably going to do is precipitate the demise of our domestic agribusiness, so that farmers won't be able to cause a ruckus in Brussels anymore.

After all the EU is too compromised energetically, militarily, industrially, burocratically and democratically to ever achieve independence. Talking about digital sovereignty as we ban construction of new datacenter is just too cute. This is all just political theater as we peacefully sunset into a museum continent.

What caused the crash was Yahoo! being unable to do anything with their acquisitions and Google coming out with a better search engine, undermining Yahoo!'s core product. Google basically pulled the rug from under the dot com bubble.

The situation we're in now with LLMs is different, if I'm right we're actually pre-bubble, the bubble hasn't even started yet.

Or maybe man is the product of his social circle and all his white collar and artist friends being anxious about AI is preventing him from thinking about this at all. Maybe we should ask if Claude can be conscious without a friend circle judging him behind his back.
