Yes, this is both very disturbing and obviously true
as @willdepue says this transition will take anywhere between 5 and 50 years
But I personally find consolation in the fact that:
1. That transition time will be the most exciting time anyone has ever lived through, probably ever;
2. On the other side there will be very nice things like extreme abundance and unprecedented human freedom.
What a time to be alive!
i don't think nearly anyone, myself included, has truly internalized there'll soon be a machine better than us in every single intellectual & physical capacity
deep down we all share a feeling that our 'entrepreneurship' or 'taste' or... is special & safe. it isn't. it's over
@gabriel1 No one believes that status is bad
The point is generally that chasing status for the sake of it only is vulgar
There is some sort of etiquette that says you should acquire status without chasing it. Doing so consistently is how you gain aura
@ylecun@spiroskaye@elonmusk No one claimed it’s an actual flying car. That was a joke
It’s just a new cool innovative hypercar that a few people will get to own and play with
You literally don’t need to know any of that to feel upset
That building was part of humanity’s heritage and it is extremely upsetting to see that we allowed random thugs to burn it for no reason
Anyone who cares about history and art will feel sick to their stomach seeing these images before learning anything about the location or the context and that’s a completely normal reaction
@pegobry_en I would bet that’s an algo issue where you interacted too much with the wrong crowd
I still find immense value on this site and read at least one new random smart person every day
@phl43 That’s true for all major cities not just Paris
Seeing where the violence happened this time it does seem to be getting much *less* localized than previous times though
@conqoest By definition the number of sellers and buyers in any market is the exact same
So what you’re looking for solely depends on what they call a “seller” and a “buyer” on that chart
