Thank you for all the effort, you and your team do inspiring work. After building a pretty big C++ audio app, I think it's time to make a change, and try something a bit kinder (SOUL).
A common theme in technological optimists seems to be a total dismissal of global warming.
I see so many people in tech discuss how interruptive COVID-19 has been on humanity, but they see it as a sort of temporary problem to get over, where once dealt with, they can then go back to thinking about AGI or some other lofty technological goal. In reality, COVID-19 should be seen more as a "taste" of things to come. I don't know why more action, or at least discourse, regarding climate collapse exists in tech communites about this subject. Is it because it isn't as interesting to think about, when compared to working on self-driving cars, VR, human longevity, etc?
Edit: I'm looking at you Lex Fridman and 90% of his guests.
