Silicon valley in aggregate is a giant piece of shit. Any seemingly ethical component parts have since been subverted.

Netflix execs have expressed envy over HBO's uncanny ability to make money off decades old IP. HBO still makes money off decades old IP because much of their decades old IP is made to the highest standards in television.

Netflix's spreadsheet method of developing shows was a defacto attempt at trying make AI generated content before actual generative AI was available. We can all see clearly see how following that path leads to soulless and forgettable products.

A studied showed that elderly asians have better health outcomes that their western counterparts in part due to their practice of sitting on the floor. The added exertion of standing up from the floor rather than a chair makes a material difference in their health.

New drugs enhance. If you can get your hands on a chemical that invokes an altered state no previous artist has experienced then you're in undiscovered country.

Ken Kesey was a guinea pig in the CIA's early experiments with LSD. He went on to be amongst LSDs earliest recreational users, and that led to "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", which is a strikingly original and lucid novel.

Reid Hoffman isn't relevant. Don't attack the person, attack the substance of their argument. How is xAI not a total shitshow? This is the question you need to be able to answer.

Also it takes lies, cheating, and a propensity for murdering women and children, which are the coolest aspects of surplus value creation.

I've been having fun playing Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (2016).

In it the player controls a team of stealthy assassins in real time who coordinate to infiltrate heavily guarded Shogunate fortresses. The characters and voice acting are quite well done.

The gameplay is very tricky and fickle but I guess it's fun because yesterday I downloaded the expansion with a bunch of new level to sneak around in.

Drivers mostly hate on other drivers, but they make time to hate other road users as well.

The first summer after COVID I was bitten by 3 different dogs in 3 separate incidents. I went 48 years without ever getting bitten by a dog until that one season.

"Karpathy was either BSing for money, or he actually believed the hype. Either way it was a bad look."

That's from top comment in this thread. I'm not sure how you got the impression I was defending him.

Karpathy didn't leave in protest because he was the guy hired to replace the protesters. His job was to be a credible technical authority on ML backstopping the sales pitch that Full Self-driving could be achieved on Tesla's hardware.
