I once explored the hypothetical of what would make me abandon the love for one of my kids. I went with something awful: imagine we found out they were a gruesome serial killer in secret. I decided after pondering it that I would continue to love and support them even through that. No one else would, rightfully so. But I think it is my duty even when the rest of humanity has abandoned them.

Writing this I thought of a variation. Instead of a serial killer, what if they murdered my spouse or one of their siblings. I’ll have to ponder that. I’d like to think I’d have the same unconditional love but I’m really not sure. In that case I might have to admit that I’m disappointed in them.

Your solution favors the wealthy who have the means to escape. The poor will be the ones to suffer and the elite will continue to peddle their elitism elsewhere.

As an alternative to your plan, we could give the week’s notice and, when all the elite have escaped, nuke everything but the holy land. Problem solved. “The meek shall inherit the earth” and all that.

Committees are incapable of making art.

A t-shirt slogan I would wear.

Wonder what the turnover rate in executives is. I bet it is about 8 years.

This 1000x. You think that senior dev got to that level hoping one day all they’d have to do is evaluate randomly generated code? No! They want to create, build, design, integrate, share. Cut out the middle, useless step and get back to the work these professionals have dedicated their careers to.

How in the glorious fuck was this not a thing from the start? In a system this big and this critical all code should be reviewed by cognizant individuals. Anyone who thought an LLM would be perfect and not need code reviews has their heads so far up their asses they can see through their pee hole.

In 400 years our list of conditions will seem similarly naive and simplistic.

Been to a doctor lately? We can’t cure shit. We’ve got a few meds that can help balance systems or mask pain. We can cut shit open and rearrange it. We can zap some shit with radiation. But actually fix anything? Nah. Maybe in another 400 years.

“Oh, look, they treated obesity as a disease. And heart disease? Hahaha that’s funny. Hearts are so simple.Cant believe cancer is its own category. Everyone knows what causes that and how to treat it.”

I will say the improvement in infant mortality is amazing. At no time in human history have infants had a better chance of survival than now(ish). So maybe I’m just cynical and disillusioned with the current state of my medical care.

Moving the stuff inside and the fees and the increased interest rate cost another 1 house. If we’re keeping track, that’s > 1 house to move to one house other than your current one house.

Take. My. Money.

When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you’re supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.

You can find all sorts of gore on the Interwebs. This one… This one terrifies me.
