Always pains me to see all this innovation and cool software work being applies towards making a machine that extracts money from retail investors and makes a few people extremely wealthy. What a depressing and colossal waste of time.

Actually I think AI will largely automate software and math and really not much else in the short to medium term. (speaking as a computer/math person)

Next time there is a fire at your house I will say "he's an adult who should have been careful playing with dangerous things like fire, we shouldnt waste society's money and resources on saving his house"

That part should be non negotiable - the tech companies should be funding the energy infrastructure. My bet is that they'd happily do it. They are starved for space and energy, not capital.

Can someone explain to me why local governments are so against datacenters? It seems like a golden opportunity to build electric infrastructure that's paid for by corporations and if AI is a bubble at least that infrastructure will remain and continue to provide cheap power.

What is the point of building energy outside of solar farms? I'm sincerely asking

And the reason for _that_ is because of the callous way American society accepts the deaths of thousands of people who die due to the Healthcare Industrial complex (of which Brian Thompson was a key member of). Just because those deaths don't happen with guns doesn't make them any less important.

You will be forced to watch Firefly for eternity. Millenials will rule the internet for a 1000 years (a millenia).

We will be old, not boomers. Boomers are a special generation at a special moment in world history - they made decisions based on the limited amount of knowledge they had about how the world works and while some think those decisions have doomed us forever, I remain optimistic.

Even though it feels depressing right now, I think the post-boomer world is going to be an amazing place.

The website design and content are much nicer than the "ideas" here. Just standard LLM slop once if you actually have read some of these books.
