counterfactuals are hard

if anything it makes the world more dangerous

a reckoning is coming

the top decile will be janitors for the rest

this is only getting worse with ai.

all the artifacts of good work are there but none of the depth.

we all need to do something

standards are good but they slow development and experimentation

if you are young there’s still hope that you can change your mindset and approach though.

this is why i disagree that if you can’t write it, you don’t know it

in another words, i may know the note to sing but not have the voice to sing it

(adding another point of view)

ultimately no way not to offend people who are dying to be offended

i’d rather have a subscription than no service at all

oh, and one can always just not buy something if it’s not valuable enough
