It’s fun to see this “belief” in ephemeral framework being peddled again.
“It’s tribal shaman rain dance that grows corn!”
“It’s Jesus!”
“It’s sound economics!”
Real human logistics work one way. Stabilize a reality destroying itself.
Semantic games about why and for whom are the outdated traditions.
For the species, because it demands it is the only true answer.
Happy to tear down industry designed by men who hold no true power. Just advantaged access in a social system where we can clearly watch them manipulate markets with handouts
We buy in as they say, they never have to pay out (in taxes). New wealth is generated by newcomers buying in (which conveniently keeps their wealth up).
In the end we get left with the environmental cleanup bill.
I have no respect left for western society. Its social experts outside science are average people acting emotionally.
It’s no different to me than Sky wizard missionaries generating titillating story to grift off workers they came across. Beamed into our homes now. Grifters don’t even need to do more than show up on set.
Businessmen to me are the final form of priests or kings. Story mode characters finely tuning a top-down hierarchy story in which they insert themselves near the top, but never do much but ramble inconsistency.
Read up and study the individual use cases for each service, sure
Write some IAC targeting the AWS APIs. If the person can otherwise talk tech concepts and it’s simply a matter of using a different cloud provider, spending free time making something is a more interesting signal to me than chasing the sunk cost
Unionizing is low-effort given global world order.
Let Bezos sell books.
The underlying logistical systems were funded by public research works and investment.
The workers should demand nothing less than the use of these networks for localized normalization of real needs (driving toward biologically sustainable and socially healthy), pushing profiteering hucksters back to alleyway dice games.
Nation state political games are what do not matter anymore. The rise of city-state structures has been predicted for a while now.
Global corps built the bridges between the future city-state hegemony. This, like a better AI, is a long term shift, but it’s in the works. Language will continue to change such that something like sciences unification will win or we’ll blow ourselves up.
I’d be hard pressed to say we’re at humanity endgame. But we’re definitely at a “hinge” moment. Once again it’s a Boolean; rational discourse or burn baby burn? Middle of the road isn’t a long term choice.
Agreed. He obfuscates his point behind emotionally pompous British semantics.
His orthodox of privilege was obviously a public lovers quarrel with Thiel (who was, around the same time, also ranting like a god-headed buffoon in essays to the tune of “the rubes need masters! villainous cackle” on blogs around the web).
They have little information advantage, except in the form of ephemeral financial capital. Human tradition states “rich person = extra special” so we rubberneck at them.
Beneath the pretentious veneer it’s contemporary businessmen. Let’s see them resolve longstanding issues in society and science.
Wagging business success in the face of people who weren’t born yet isn’t terribly novel and their real output isn’t that useful to the future.
Some sort of bragging rights stored in a web forums logical DB on a physical disk which will be tossed when it goes offline?
