  • Oh, hold on, I am absolutely not against bullying these people mercilessly. I’m probably meaner to them than you are, if I were just guessing.

    The thing that I don’t want people to do is treat a cultural critique as if it were a personal one. A lot of the pushback that you’ll see from the fragile male types is just manifested insecurity over the fact that they think they can’t go up and talk to a woman without her splashing her drink in their face. The critique is just describing the currents of the ocean, but they will treat it as if it were a personal attack because what you’re really arguing with is their hurt feelings.














  • I do think this is a bit bigger than AI.

    A problem we’ve been running up against for a while is that the US economy, maybe the world-wide technology sector in general, has run out of things to innovate. It’s an empty mine. This is part of the reason they want AI to be a thing so badly, it is the only thing propping up the GDP at this point, and it’s barely doing that.

    [Edit] Sorry, the point being: if it wasn’t AI, it would’ve been VR or Bitcoin or some other half-baked idea. We are headed for a cliff at the moment.


  • Holy shit do we have a dumbass here. That’s not what post-modernism is, dude. You’re saying the same shit that christians do about athiests, that morality can only exist if jesus himself pelvic thrusts it into you.

    I’m gonna be real, if you need an authoritarian daddy to tell you what is right and wrong, I actually do not trust you.

    I can say those people are evil because they’re evil. It’s really easy.
