If that was the only thing in the original message, then yes, but the very last comment about the IPO should have clued you in, among other things. But I get your point, there are a lot of people out there saying crazy ungrounded things.

This one's pretty easy dude.

The real reason behind this is that Fable was not well received due to costs and unpredictable quality so they are shifting blame to the government.

Brew is probably serving your needs, but you might also want to look into Nix/NixOS, which takes what you are talking about to the next level.

You are arguing with a straw man. Most are saying they should be explicit with the failure modes rather than fail silently. They aren't saying there should be no guardrails.

What do you mean "demo"? Seems to work... Who is behind this?

People were smeared regularly for suggesting this less than a decade ago. You are being tripped up by recency bias since mainstream media started reporting on it.

Why must all conspiracy theories be bucketed together as if it's a single entity and culture. Conspiracies are real and as old as time, and treating any analysis or discussion about them as part of a greater crackpot culture just acts as cover for real ones. In fact there is evidence that the CIA is behind some of the crackpot theories to muddy the water.

I get that, I'm just wondering if there's a more effective analogy. Maybe there isn't.

I never liked the mattress analogy, because if gravity is the bending of the mattress, what is pulling the ball down the slope?

Thank you, these overly simplistic first-order-only analysis of extremely complex phenomena drive me nuts.

Except China has a well defined culture and millenia of experience with this and has learned how to have an autocratic society that still somewhat serves its people (until it doesn't). The US has been captured by a foreign power that has no interest in the welfare of the people so the expectation is that an autocratic society would be much worse in the US.

Yes, can't use Duolingo to its fullest without this. Needs to be the system-integrated speech-to-text too, not some add-on or keyboard.

There's a fundamental difference with AI though. Even though we could live easily, greed drives the class with power to continue to force more and more productivity from workers, which is the elite's only source of labor. With AI, the workers won't been the most cost effective or even necessary. Very different situation.

And you must be a high paid tech worker in a bubble if you think most people are just trying to "kill time". At least in the US the majority of people are living paycheck to paycheck.

Isn't that just the same as "Red Queen's Race" or "tragedy of the commons"?
