A Mr. Beast-like "crypto-philanthropy" company is giving out $2 million to poor people as a marketing stunt.

Not exactly creating though, is it? More like an obfuscated GitHub downloader.

if I eat too many hot dogs and pork chops and ramen I'll get sick of hot dogs and pork chops and ramen. We needed a study for this?

I mean, it's well known that governments possess and distribute more of the stuff than anyone else. Government or not, not a big surprise.

> We’d been building what we liked to call a “procrastination engine,” named Sloth Surf. The app worked like this: A user who had the urge to procrastinate on the internet could come to the site, input their procrastination preferences, and let an AI agent do it for them. Want to waste half an hour on social media? Read sports message boards for the afternoon? Let Sloth Surf take care of the scrolling for you, our pitch went, and then it can email you a summary—all while you get back to work (or don’t, we’re not your boss).

This guy's living a delusional, fantasy business boy lifestyle where he has hardworking fictional employees working tirelessly on his poop-on-a-stick idea, while literally calling him in his free time to tell him it's a great idea and a valid thing to put his time into. What are YOU doing?

mouse_ — Wed, 12 Nov 2025 14:39:06 +0000

Shitty software killed netbooks. That Intel Atom was more than enough to accomplish the moon landing, or produce an indie game like cave story, or run a recording studio to make music. But people didn't want to do those things, they wanted to play Roblox and watch YouTube.

Netbooks are work machines, and as usual, people don't wanna work.
