It’s worse than fascism. It’s dissolving all the world nations into techno-feudalism, its billionaires controlling their own territories as kings. And it’s Peter Thiel’s goal among many others, generally the anarcho-capitalism crowd.
Here’s a visualization
All of them want https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Enlightenment
And every day we get closer to it
Then “Rape your loved ones” considering the history of what’s happening is certainly the best choice
71·1 day agothe people who were convinced bluesky would be some incredible improvement over twitter are the same people convinced that NFTs change art ownership and crypto creates a better financial system for the average person
21·1 day agoIf he literally knew nothing and was worried for his child he could have hired a well paid live-in nursemaid and forgotten about the money it cost the next half hour.
Instead he used his child as an experiment.
“Hey dad, are you proud of me?”
“I’m proud of the value you created for me and the shareholders.”
4·1 day agoHaha I’m unsure if “opposites attract” fits here, but perhaps “there’s no computer science without the computer”
Larian’s entire staff teleports behind you as you’re playing
Oh yeah he never has that Dunning Kruger setup I see from Junior people on the team. He knows (or finds out) who to ask and when, and always admits when he doesn’t know something. All super important qualities that some people learn earlier rather than later in probably every industry
1·1 day agoLol are you telling me that the people that I’ve worked with directly in small 5-10 person discord servers that we set up when I worked with them, are in fact investor imposters, and instead the actual coworkers are secretly using separate slack setups? Or do you just imagine that anecdotally how ever your coworkers have communicated is how all people communicate without exception?
I’ve worked in tech for almost 20 years. A big misconception is confusing Computer Science and IT. Computer Science is generally more about logic, data structures, and programming paradigms across languages. IT is generally more about the configuration, deployment and usage of technology and operating systems for end users.
There’s a ton of nuance in there, like Infrastructure or devops, where it’s about the deployment of technology software and hardware to power large technology services, which sits in the middle.
That being said, I’ve generally found that the more specialized someone is in computer science, the less they know about the operating system they use and how it works. Especially if they spent the time to go for a PhD or something.
The smartest programmer I’ve ever met is my boss, our CTO. PhD from an Ivy League school. Can write haskell on a napkin, even though our stack doesn’t touch haskell. Also doesn’t know shit about how MacOS works even though he uses a Mac, and consistently asks me relatively simple questions regarding unix/linux differences, filesystem stuff, package managers, etc. It’s very interesting to see the difference in knowledge.
I feel like it should be tacked on as a bell curve to older generations too lol. My grandmother and my parents are absolutely hopelessly addicted to Facebook reels, scrolling them nonstop throughout the day, just connecting those ads and wild algorithm messaging with those little dopamine hits.
I remember spending hours tinkering with Linux in my bedroom as a kid and being yelled at for being antisocial and not spending enough time off the computer.
How the turns have tabled
Lol either that or “Climate Change Resistant Juniper by Monsanto” becomes a thing and makes its way into crazy expensive gin only the super wealthy can afford and they unironically mix it with ice from melting glaciers
Love that small government energy
What in the name of my dental health
That’s certainly the messaging that organizations like Palantir would like you to believe
To quickly move financial assets out from the country in a way that is difficult or impossible to reverse or track
He said this specifically on Juneteenth so that his hateful voters agree, and those that work for businesses that don’t give a day off on Juneteenth get angry at the people who work for companies or the government that do.
