I think you are confusing hyperbole with poetic license, and overstating the effects it has on English vernacular. I am not American, but I wouldn't go around minimizing how industrious the "great society" is.

who needs creativity when you can have built small-scale versions of your favorite intellectual properties?

I mean, until there is an alternative in the space that has a (good), free, anonymous ai web search then I think we can probably assume you are confusing what you want with what is "viable"

This presumes humans will survive until the point they have to deal with it. Irrefutability and far-future events are oil and water.

weird to film someone doing their job just to prove you could ask for tea without taking off your big vr headset. hope they asked for permission to post this.

The acquisition of books is totally decoupled from the "artistic value" and "intelligence" that reading them proffers. I buy books too, rarely at retail but sometimes, and I make no bones that my desire to do so is as consumerist as anything else I purchase.

Thats a reductive read. I thought this forum was supposed to encourage a higher minded discourse?

I don't love the way the dude handled it, but what is preventing you from even considering that it is a genuine gesture to his employees?

Since when did relaying employee experience constitute an existential threat to a businesses ability to operate? This forum is littered with people who engage in "threats" as a mode of business every single day.

the person you are replying to claims an artist wont "change the world". you couldn't ask for a more "hacker-brained" take on culture. what, sitting around on our computers building dinky little apps does more than movies, film and music?

counterpoint: the forks dont retain any of the context that led you to them, nor does returning to an earlier branching point retain the discussion that occurred down a separate "rabbit hole". therefore it is in some ways decidedly less human that the linear approach in use
