I was a depressed teenager a long time ago and I am almost certain mushrooms made things worse. I didn't need mushrooms. I needed therapy, friends, a social life, a sex life, goals…

The only thing I can notice is deep research is better. Like much closer to outputting a paper from arxiv straight away. I am really the bottleneck now and what to do with all this…

You obviously haven't thought about economics much at all to say something this simplistic. There are so many counter examples of this being wrong that it is not even worth botheri…

It is a 19th century economic observation around the use of coal. It is like saying the PDF is going to be good for librarian jobs because people will read more. It is stupid. It c…

I just don't understand this line of thinking. Gen AI is the opposite of crypto. The use is immediate, obvious and needs no explanation or philosophizing. You are basically showing…

Exactly. The idea that ideas are cheap and all that matters is execution is absurd. Imagine saying this about a great record album in music. Or any masterwork of art. From growing …

This is the standard stupidity here based on emotion and denial. This is the narrative that people want to hear. Of course, trying to automate with chatGPT 4o was stupid. Trying to…

I love economics but it is a field of study that we don't have the proper tools to properly study the subject yet. Modern economics is literally a bullshit job generating process o…

The article just reminds me that I hate modern journalism and try to not read any news articles. Hyperbolic attention grabbing headline followed by appeal to authority, appeal to a…

What happened last time is exactly what will never happen again because those were all specific one off, path dependent, moments in time. I think what you are missing is that it mi…

No, the common "wisdom" you are puppeting here is harmful because it just doesn't work. We have been telling people for decades now to be worried that they might harm themselves by…

I just don't agree with this at all. Right now is the good time for the job market. The S&P is at an all time high. In the next recession, I expect massive layoffs in white collar …

I just totally disagree. I love art, I even love AI art and would probably be considered an art snob in general. Midjourney often has the same problem with drawing lines. There is …

I mean data brokers already do know all this. I completely agree with you in spirit but I just can't imagine in 25 years, people won't be wearing spacial computing AR glasses with …

Curtis tried to make these statements on the downside of neoliberalism + postmodernism but I don't think he did a very good job based on the discussion on these films. I think his …

I have two laptops running linux. One is a MSI gaming laptop with RTX card that no one would recommend for linux. I had to try about 10 distros before I settled on linux mint. Ever…

Linux Mint works great with nvidia cards. It has a great driver manager. It is the only distro I found after getting a laptop with a RTX card that just works. It has worked flawles…

I don't work in software but left my old job in 2021. Was unemployed for 2 years by choice. Finally decided to get a job in 2023. I applied to two jobs, got both of them right away…

I just don't agree everything will look like Marvel or Star Wars. Everything looks like that now because the loss of DVD sales has altered the economics of movies so drastically. T…

Obviously, there has to be huge variability between people based on initial starting conditions. It is like if someone says they are losing weight eating 2500 calories a day and so…

People would say the same thing about Glass or Reich. People would say the same thing about Messiaen or Ligeti. People would say the same thing about Schoenberg or Webern. If your …

Ableton is like the modern day guitar. SuperCollider and music programming languages are like the modern day bass clarinet. There isn't much bass clarinet in modern pop music eithe…

I know I have made many mistakes in my life, especially as a dumb kid. We can't all be on your level of moral perfection.
