@jaycaspiankang I understand why one wants to do it, but the obvious fix is to require the normal helmets to look lamer. Can’t ask these guys to choose between an unsafe option that looks badass and a safe one that look like a giant fanny pack.
@zachweinberg What’s the overlap of:
(1) people who don’t like the government using mind reading to solve crime because the government might read their thoughts
(2) people who occasionally voice those very same thoughts?
50% honestly seems low here.
but I ask you this: If I was a famously chicken legged grifter ... would you still be yelling at me? Or would you be spanking my bare butt, balls and back? Think about that for one second.
Chamath says Silicon Valley lost what made it great and only cares about money now
"Silicon Valley has completely lost what made it great. It was a place for weirdos, for people at the fringes, for people that really were idealistic. And it has become something that's far from that now. It is the equivalent of what Harvard used to be. It's a credentialing place."
"When we came, we used to aspire to meet the Bill Campbells of the world, Mike Moritz, John Doerr. Those folks are gone. We used to aspire to work for Steve Jobs. He's not here."
"And in that breach, all we have done is focused on making money in every single way that we can, hand over fist. And there's nothing wrong with that. Except now it’s at a point where we need to do a better job of acknowledging it and trying to do a little bit better.”
“Every time we don't, and we're given a chance to be better, and we're not, the hatred builds, the animus builds. And that's what we're seeing now."
@ankylosaurus702@devahaz They'll never do it, but the AI class should maybe consider that the reason huge majorities of both parties don't buy any arguments that AI/data centers will benefit them is because those arguments are being made by the AI class, and that maybe that has some other implications.
@ankylosaurus702@devahaz They just want the best for humanity and they’re so smart that doing whatever they want is the most effective and therefore most moral way to achieve those ends so we’re the bad guys for objecting if you think about it.
