We’ve known that an alghorithm was “going to eventually kill everyone” for around 200+ years now. It’s called the profit motive. An unyielding “line go up” eternal growth algorithm that has slipped out of human control for a very long time now. Skynet isn’t killer drones, it’s quarterly earning spreadsheets.

@danielkolitz @thebafflermag this is so so good, thank you for writing this!

I disagree with Timothee Chalamet about opera (crowd cheers), because all art is essentially bad (crowd boos), in the Culture Industry sense! (crowd cheers) except for one medium, which encompasses all previous forms (crowd nodding expectantly), “gaming” (booing intensifies)

HOT TAKE: nobody in 1975 needed a budget app, a financial coach, and a side hustle to afford a two bedroom apartment. this isn’t a personal finance problem. it’s a wage theft problem.
