Hustle culture sociopaths

The captive audience is not you, it's people salivating at the train of thought where they can 100x productivity of whatever and push those features that will get paying customers so they can get bought from private equity and ride out on the sunset. This whole thing is existential dread on a global scale, driven by sociopaths and everyone is just unable to not bend over.

Painfully true. A lot of YouTube on LLM coding tools has become just that. Make quick bucks, look it generated a dashboard of some sort (why is it always dashboards?) and a high polished story of someone vibing a copy of a successful Saas and selling it off for a million.

A shame really, for there are good resources for better making use of LLMs in coding.

Yes but that's boring. Look at this it has cool ASCII and a QR. At this point no typing, just vibe-voice ask to build the thing and fix the error. Then we can have some tea, earl grey, hot.

Public opinion is dead, what matters is policy makers opinion on controlling financial interests in the West, and what the CCP politbureau thinks. One is a mongrel divisive semi-hereditary plutocracy, the other is a reimagined empire that clearly has a long game going. I don't think anyone cares for the public at large, at least to the extent the public doesn't get any wild ideas like having an opinion and expressing it with a pitchfork.

These are the bad non-democracies. There are good non-democracies too. Are you being critical of good non-democracies? Maybe you are living in a bad non-democracy and can't tell the difference, you might get invaded and enlightened any time soon.

You really believe this, right? That you can decide for someone else, specifically a whole nation, what their view is and what they want to do with their nation. That you are doing the world a favour. Guess it's worked in the past, a new sucker is born every minute.

Because there was a benefit for some shareholder somewhere, maybe.

It's insane to expect them go rouge and not benefit the company in some sense

Because the need is fulfilled adequately. They are not solving anything new or revolutionising anything old, these are dumb ideas for dumb people to throw money at hoping it sticks.

> the need is fulfilled adequately

It is not. Wilderness rescues are extremely resource constrained due to the costs involved coupled with the fact that those in need of rescue were fully aware of the risks before they set out. There's a severe limit to how many tax dollars will go towards bailing adults out of situations of their own making. Lowering costs would quite literally save lives.

Is it?

Are we ­— as a species — really going to spend until eternity grovelling around on the ground?

If not, then we need personal aircraft.

What is there to do not-on-the-ground?

Other than wait to be on the ground again?

Loops ?

Unless you figure out a way to turn off this pesky thing called gravity: yes.

Even birds spend the majority of their times on the ground.

Then get a PPL

So people who can't afford a broken system cannot afford dignity or grace? We should be ashamed we allow this kind of collective paranoia.

The Kool Aid is strong, remember this is the forum of an incubator. One has to believe to drink the whole cup.
