You keep moving the goal posts.

You talk right by any argument made.

Like infinitely big little numbers, you can string semantic wank together endlessly, producing nothing of value to those that need to eat and cannot.

Biology of the masses rules, not 1 of 7 billions personal preference to ramble endlessly.

IMO your mind is the closed one. It’s an endless concept deep dive, zero results.

If you prefer moral relativism, let’s go. You’re not my problem; I don’t believe in your net worth or money. That’s your subjective reality, stop tethering me to your memes.

Even religious people eat.

Let’s dispense with the thought ending semantic wank.

Formal human languages are not as old as humans organizing around their biological impulse. All cultures have a history of oppression and violence, none are sacrosanct or deserve special treatment.

The past has never been a concrete anchor. I don’t see a British flag around my neighborhood, and money holders are fine gate keeping the masses when they’re handed stacks of cash.

There is evidence there is no truth to many beliefs.

If more people are trained you’d have more teachers available everywhere.

Starting at “artificial scarcity”/zero and building up/out is ridiculous.

There are plenty of people who would do such work, who probably need little training, but reliable routine blows up the speculation game. We exist in a state similar to watching a movie; suspended disbelief. These 60+ yo political truths? Don’t look away!

We know a whole lot more about logistics and manufacturing now than we did in the 50s.

It’s time for the story to move along.

Oh no, cultural diversity!

Wow people still see all caps as “shouting”.

Some randos online conjure that association decades ago and we still babysit it?

No one is allowed to come a conclusion for themselves anymore. It’s internet rules or gfy.

Internet puppet meatbags. Great.

Yeah because belief is truth

Also Nostradamus was correct about the end of the world

Jesus turned water into wine

It’s almost as if humans have a track record of gullible belief and superstition about the truth embedded in their social ways

I have a MacBook and iPhone for work. My own imagination is quite fertile.

Except for the big utilitarian projects, I really don’t need other people.

If the grind is just to entertain people who lack creativity for themselves, meh.

Chasing stuff and experience was feeling a bit repetitive before covid. The space from people made me accept it.

If you don’t place a financial value in them, to me they’re like a domain name where this decipherable object always resides

Money is ephemeral and the Fed seems to have no issue reproducing it

It’s not like producing, storing, real currency has zero environmental impact, or banking computers use zero energy

Nice guy bad actors are everywhere, I’ve pirated The Matrix every time I want to watch it; never have paid to see it outside the original theater run.

Whoa.

This is a snapshot of now.

Where are we going with the money thing?

If the goal is everyone have money to access stuff (get to 0%)… why money?

Just provide stuff?

Socially make the story “this is how acquisition of stuff works and what stuff is available.”

Like we do now. Just minus the money.

Everyone lives under a quota for stuff given how much money they have.

What’s with the arbitrary data structure (dollar) and old man algorithms for dividing it up?

You could just stay out of other peoples stories but you have to have your opinions on who others should be broadcast don’t you?

Ok there you, banal and mainstream. We see you. Good job. clap

Where merit is dictated by how much time you spend ogling others output and expectations.

Amazing.

I’m sure all those folks have extensive time spent curing cancer and not just writing web apps for profit too.

I’m really looking forward to the day 80% of digital experience is just generated on demand by well known algorithms and filling dependency files just so for a machine (source files included as constraints on memory and cpu behavior, just like which deps to allow) is obsoleted dumb work

Because financial costs don’t matter and have nothing to do with real resource need?

This is all ephemeral narrative building now. Humans will do economic activity to survive regardless of what bean keeping system we use to discuss it.

“Meritocracy” is just another way of saying “caste system” to those who are born away too far from the network nodes for strong signal to reach them, and realize too late.

Go feed yourself without a job network that requires some people to be janitors forever and others to be copy-paste coders who live high on the hog

Granting privilege to ephemeral success narratives is on the way out with religion (<50% follow religion and belief in tales of past success dictating current stature)

Behavioral economics is revealing people take jobs because they pay. Not because they’re satisfied. The idea a janitor is choosing that is an outdated bias.

Just because you’re insulated from the effects of this economy does not mean others are.

This is all very “gay people bad, what my niece is gay? gay people good!” Your lack of connection to other peoples situation is telling.

You’re not the main character in this shared reality

> SOMEONE has to pay the bills

Aren’t we paying the bill by doing the work to provide these things?

Finance was the old information network for distributing need. It was easily hacked/corrupted.

Isn’t the internet the replacement?

Do the work to have the stuff. Why the old money network too?

Open source is pretty strong evidence social doing just to do cool/useful shit just happens.

People grow food to eat, not because a boss said we need to produce N tons of corn this quarter.

Yeah my problem with Filippo’s perspective is companies aren’t delivering what they promise either.

It’s not as if altruistic motives, are what drives big corp.

Open source often originates in big corp; k8s, Rust, and all the ML … none of them are exactly wart free or blowing minds as promised. Just the next evolution of a big corp financed mess from the 90s.

The response to big corp complaints is they get what they pay for. And since austerity for the masses, all your agency are belong to us, fuck big corp

If the content leads to destabilizing social life for the majority, passing laws that give government control of peoples health, advocates for violence, then yeah.

Freedom from some other twats mental illness means more to me than their freedom to be a twat.

Stop oversimplifying like a child. There are real impacts to enabling systemic bias.

If you want moral relativism because maybe subjugating people out of your view is ok, why waste effort when you’re the cohort being abused?

You mean physical structures. Math is just glyphs we use to cart around awareness of the motions of this reality.

I know it’s romantic to escape into the neverending-ness of reality, but we exist in a pretty well established perimeter of physical constraints, and we have yet to find even a theory that would let us break them.

A few academic tricks here and there is hardly concrete proof we can.

I think we’re looking the wrong way. What if we’re each a metaverse forced to live literally?

Give me designer drugs that bootstrap such a detailed hallucination, I think it happened. Way less wasteful than these toys like VR we just throwaway.

Don’t make the math literal, make the cognitive simulation so detailed it feels like it’s literal.

Maybe aliens didn’t die off. They just took resource consumption seriously.

I was hoping they’d do something more novel with the gameplay like break the fourth wall gameplay where I can hack the engine to hack the world; replace doors with walls, and characters would react to the state change appropriately. Like a god game in an FPS.

I’ve not played but I hear AI is still dumb af, it’s COD with a cliche Hollywood cyberpunk style.

Pretty sad our art is still tethered to 80s-90s fanboy stylings. I feel like the obligation for things to fit such a literal expectation constrains creators. Then again the stories coming out of the the dudes running these places. Egh

Oh this is a thing? This happens to me when I’m working all night. I don’t work late often but when I do I’ll drift in and out of a half dozing state to reset and have a burst of coding energy.

I never knew this was a Dali thing. I purposely push myself those nights to get to the point of drifting in and out.

Again, not something I do often, and when I do I’m already in a pretty creative mood.

Throwaway cause reasons; Job life, finding a job.

My education was in the late-90s in electronics. Offshoring took that career away by the 2010s.

Oh, I don’t know web app development or anything above CS200 by heart, or haven’t contributed a decade of free labor to open source; fuck off.

A modern college education and different experiential timeline does not make a college educated person anymore than 1 of 7 billion like the rest of us.

Real on the ground life issues for millions are waved off as nbd cause the data shows those millions of able bodied people who see society act indifferent they exist, as they are just a rounding error, seems to be acceptable discourse.

It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds in a nation with a second amendment and one political party recently sharing plans internally to announce they are overturning the election to protect their demigod.

It’s not tech that’s the issue; it’s humanity itself. Its root social language is feudalism and moral relativism. Tech is just the latest vessel for those behaviors.
