If you know rich people, this is par for the course. I’ve been hearing them say this kind of thing for years. And they 100% believe it’s true.

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression. It’s really true. Throughout all history, every time the rich are asked to give up a meaningful percentage of their wealth to create more equality they feel oppressed and get angry. It’s just a human thing. We have to build systems that don’t care if the rich whine and are “rich, dumb idiot proof” or the cycle will just continue.

Just have AI scrape Twitter for people complaining about applications they wish existed, and have the AI make them.

I mean… in 2026, this is probably a viable business strategy tbh.

The tri-stat system was as elegant as it was exploitable. It was so easy to blow up planets by taking entirely too many minor defects.

So… it’s genre accurate is what you’re saying.

Yeah, I missed this one too.

Don’t talk about your mental health with an AI seems like pretty basic common sense to me, as someone who interacts with them constantly.

This article seems like it was written by a PR firm for big AI.

2014 called. It wants its controversy back.

Well… When I first quit, I stopped getting invited to stuff / knowing what events my social circle was organizing and that was frustrating and I was loosing something valuable.

But since I was an early quitter, things have gotten much better as over the last few years most of the rest of my social circle has followed me off.

Who are the morally bankrupt execs who wrote this? I want names.

Sadly, I had but one Paramount Plus account to angrily cancel. I’ll consider returning from sailing the high seas when Ellison considers not being an enormous rich conservative phallus.

I keep discovering things from the 80s kid me would have loved but I never knew existed until my late 40s.

And if you mean controlling 3 dimensional projections from your phone, we can sorta do that right now, it’s just clunky and expensive and there’s very little actual demand for it outside of show business and art projects.

Discovery might have been a good show if every character was just played by Jeffery Combs.

(no, not really, the problems with Discovery were NEVER the actors’ fault)

You’re actually 100% right, I despise coffee.

Honey, the proprietary operating systems are quarreling again!

*sips coffee in exclusive Linux user land.

Oh, Android does this to me too. It constantly suggests I want to call my old boss from 13 years ago who I honestly hope I never see again.

It gets the point across SO WELL though. XD

It’s not and we’re not enemies and I’ve seen your username around and remember your situation. I’m sorta sorry for getting bombastic, but I also have REALLY FUCKING strong feelings about this. I don’t think you’re shilling for Nazis, I think you’re playing right into their hands when you say stuff like that and it just triggers the fuck out of me. Sorry. Mostly sorry.

Let’s hang out at Burn. I’ll share my booze with you, maybe you’ll forgive me.
