It's ok if you didn't like it, but you don't have to be mean about it.

I've wanted to build something like this for a long time, cool (and unsurprising, really) to see it's already done!

Swans is my number 30 by scrobbles but 4 by playtime, which makes total sense.

Consumer goods have dropped in price, which is good for offsetting inequality. I think the allegory still holds in some other areas (off the top of my head: healthcare spending and renting versus owning your primary residence).

That said, income inequality is probably the much bigger source of unfairness these days.

Seems like a strawman, I don't think anyone means this when talking about alignment.

More general goals, like avoiding paperclip maximization, are broadly applicable to humanity.

Right now the skills you describe are definitely relevant. At work I'm regularly reviewing smelly changes, both from my own agents and others'. I'm wonder if this smell will always be present or if it will go away entirely, leaving the smell detector skills irrelevant.

I have about as much say in YouTube as you do. In the org tree, the lowest common ancestor between me and YouTube is Sundar.

My original comment was a joke about the fact that someone felt as if they were "forced" to watch something. It was more of a comment on consumer attitude than YouTube itself. I'm sorry YT isn't working well for y'all. That said, expecting some grunt employee like me to feel personally responsible (or even "ashamed"??) is ridiculous.

Brother, you are the one choosing the videos.

It felt like the author was punching down, too. This Cluely founder seems largely unsuccessful and, as the boat guy says at the end, just a kid. A chud of a kid, but a kid nonetheless.

I max my 401k because not taking advantage of tax-advantaged income is leaving money on the table.
