#32What an unpleasant read
Re: Punk, or why I don't stream anymore
#33We've got used to 'reasonable' society and politics in the last few centuries, but check out politics in developing nations or dictatorships, or woke, or Trump or places like pageantry. All fake news and gossip and performance, and AI just makes this potentially much much worse.
It already has a name in academia I think, post-truth, or post-reality or whatever, I think it all started with the French post-modernism thing, then critical theory, etc.
But I'm not sure it's a post- 'advance' at all, but more like a rejection of the enlightenment and a return to the tribal village.

#34This lament about the superficiality of publicly oriented endeavors is interesting cause this guy's life is inseparable from meta commentary.

#36This slop is exactly what ChatGPT spits out when it's leading you down the hole of AI psychosis.
> AI psychosis.
No need to be so dramatic, might just be a bit of an early midlife crisis thing.
I liked the post, some interesting takes.

#37I really like this style of writing in short bursts, and I appreciate the author's tone and concerns. I do wonder if the author is very young. As much as I enjoyed his small essay, a few things stuck right out at me: >I tried having a flip phone once (2014), but you couldn’t find out what time the movies were playing because moviephone just redirected you to their app. This has been a solved problem for a long time:…
Well idk if the author is actually geohot but if it is then look him up. Famous hacker from cmu ppp, I think he was first to jailbreak iPhone 4
Ah, sorry, I wasn't familiar with him. Looks like he was born in 1989, and so is not so young. I'm a bit baffled to hear that he doesn't think he can escape his smartphone given that he was resourceful enough to jailbreak an iPhone 4 back in the day. I understand he's speaking poetically and emotionally. Maybe he just means he has the knowledge but not the means.

#38The only thing I will now remember this guy for is when he volunteered to work for Twitter/X after Elon took over. He failed to get twitter code building locally for about 4 weeks when attempting to change some placeholder text in the twitter search bar. He ultimately couldn't figure it out and then immediately quit lol. He even ran a poll on his twitter asking if he should quit, most people voted "NO" then he quit anyway.

> think he's god's gift to programming and everyone whose work he disagrees with are losers
If he thinks like that (I don’t know him), he needs to limit the scope of what he works on to projects he can accomplish completely on his own.
