wow it’s so much easier to go outside when existence isn’t subtly tortuous because my body feels bad. the breeze feels good on my skin??? anyway here’s the view from where i am what’s the view like from where you are

@47fucb4r8c69323 I still see these guys but they have no hustle, no drive. They don’t spend any time learning to do the tricks. I’m LESS likely to visit the establishment because of it.

I don't know if this still exists in America, but like 20 years ago businesses would hire guys with signs to stand on corners and wave and twirl the signs around to get attention. If you think about it, the modern-day social media manager is just the digital equivalent of that guy. Except of course it requires a lot more intelligence and technical skill to do that job in the digital age. And so from this you see how technology upscales labor and thus increases the value of the labor that is in demand in the market. The people who get left behind are the idiots, this is why I love technology.

@airkatakana @aryehazan Other things like would you prefer your child work in X, Y, or Z Where Z is not a historically respectable profession And you’re supposed to say you’d be fine with anything

@airkatakana @aryehazan after having children I realized I believed a lot of dumb stuff Like would you prefer your child to be X or Y Where X is the norm and Y isn’t and then you realize that you’re supposed to say you would be equally happy with Y

sometimes I want to go back in time, grab my young libertarian self by the lapels, and violently shake him while screaming BAN EVERYTHING

@zarathustra5150 Bizarre. Never felt that it was stressful.

@simonsarris @tautologer it works great if it's actually true

@tautologer alas this is also how you get everything you want out of life

"okay but I'm built different" is how you get in trouble

@_381181295 it's actually been like this for like 3 months now I just realized it was time for an upgrayde

@illustriousdev welcome!

@anjulipie press 1 to remain ignorant

I really hate when further research validates my deepest fears. Do yourself a favor and just don't look it up (whatever it is) lol

@r0b0t_sp1der @boneGPT Boomers in IBM trying to pump bags (I’m boomers)

@boneGPT high chance this is a books-cooking even - taking a bunch of losses now, to let insiders/Trump buy at -20%

everyone is blaming india for this but I don't think ibm has done anything interesting since before i was born theyre the radio shack of tech firms. i see stories like this and mostly find myself amazed they still exist

@jiratickets are all of the recent Anthropic and OpenAI hires going to be there?

hey you around this weekend? we’re thinking about grabbing a few drinks and hitting the non-technical pride parade

@msaah255 "sharp"? clanker hands wrote this post

5.6 is fast, reliable, and extremely sharp. anthropic models don’t compare at this point.

@mil000 Peter is Garry Tan’s wife here

Something something openclaw

@boneGPT @zerohedge wow, value trap

@zerohedge it's 47 right now too bad no hyperliquid perps for paypal

@a_musingcat @LoveKirins you would be wrong, as I can easily characterize my entire life as being in a small minority outgroup

when you really think about it, it’s kinda crazy the “consequences” people think are appropriate for people who don’t want to work. real open air gulag shit

@a_musingcat @LoveKirins You can go dive dumpsters like the anarchist kids I knew in high school It’s actually easier than ever to get by doing absolutely nothing But if you want to have a comfortable life and the esteem of your peers yeah you might need to get a job

@LoveKirins at least you don’t deny the reality of what you think is appropriate, i guess

@a_musingcat I think what’s amusing is like half (likely more) of the population is huge whiners who have tried nothing and are all out of ideas. There’s nothing new under the sun. We could be talking past each other but frankly it’s not worth straightening it out.

@illustriousdev i think your mindset is a great example of what i’m talking about

fundamentally people don’t really believe others deserve to live. so much that we do, all the status games, striving, preening and fawning, is to stave off the implicit accusation that we aren’t worthy of life

@ptr_to_joel if you haven't noticed he doesn't really calibrate for his audience

why is garry announcing a very personal event on linkedin

how down bad do you gotta be

@signulll poor theory of mind downstream of the fact they assume everyone is equally capable not nearly cynical of human nature enough

serious question: why do intellectuals have a really hard time relating to how normal ppl think? or how normal ppl would react to certain things? surely their intellectual abilities would allow them to, right? you’d think they would be able to understand why some content might resonate with ppl of not their caliber but yet they often fail to see it & critique portions that ironically resonate the most.
