<p>Yeah that's weird. Finding everything2 decades ago it occurred to me the internet is 100% untrustworthy source for anything.<p>Believing AI is bonkers to me. But these shields been up since the 90s. None of this stuff matters. It was all gibberish</p>

<p>Big tech, sure, but not all the startups. I can assure you having freelanced and mentored many a SWE at 5-20 person startups the last 6 years they are not all hiring pro chefs.<p>Have you not been reading the headlines about urban offices empty? Low taxes to create foot traffic for other businesses?<p>The trickle down of the ZIRP era was about spreading all the dollars they could print as quickly as possible to maintain dominance of the dollar.<p>SaaS apps are meaningless to future generations. We were never creating pyramids of Egypt like wonders. We were missionaries for contemporary American propaganda.</p>

<p>> you are completely oblivious.<p>Sounds like specious reasoning similar to the tired trope of "someone is wrong on the internet and I must correct them".<p>Twitter is in the 1% not the "99% of these..." but don't let reading comprehension get in the way.<p>I was a phonics kid not a 3-cuing student. Reading scores have nose dived since phonics was phased out. So I understand it's not entirely your fault.</p>

<p>Well yeah; data breaches been a thing forever. Physical reality never opened a black hole in San Fran because someone committed a key to Github or a box of tapes destined for Iron Mountain vanished. A lot of the concerns are themselves social paranoias not real concerns.<p>Which is where the unserious emerges but in a subtle way; taking such unserious things so seriously is not serious behavior. It's anxious and paranoid, aloof and clueless behavior.<p>Secure in tech skills but unserious otherwise.<p>Lacking a broad set of skills will make office workers unable to grow a potato inherently paranoid about their job.</p>

<p>Liquidity in the currency market.<p>Need to propagate a lot of dollars fast, 24/7 as a moat on it remaining a reserve currency.<p>99% of these software startups are basic software that can be handled by a single dev; see Reddit apps and such.<p>But that money printer was running hot and heavy. Needed to funnel it somewhere. Why not that favorite political cudgel of the elites; pointless busy work jobs! Let's invest in a bunch of shops nearby for them to lunch at too!</p>
