@PJOPJOPJOPJO @eriskiiii Yeah and Sam Altman believes it too I’m sure. Totally unrelated to his long history of pathological lying and self-serving corruption

The problem with smart people is that they can never admit when they’ve been rubes

Viral ‘dopamine sites’ are letting users shop without actually spending money

The sites feature nonexistent products, reviews, and promotions, and let users checkout and track their “courier” all without actually buying anything

@wanted4mogging We stopped teaching civics and people just kinda “figured stuff out” instead. Need to go back to giving people structure to build off of

If space AI data centers pencil out when half the country is hollowed out hellholes, then something is seriously wrong with development in the US

[Lou @lougrims]

The whole AI datacenter in space discourse is so bad. You have illiterate AI bros being dunked on by people who took high school physics (space is not cold! vacuum in an insulator!). Themselves being dunked on by STEM graduates (Stefan-boltzmann! only 100m^2 of radiators!). 1/2

Every take this guy has is the most second gen SFasian loser shit imaginable

[Westside L.A. Guy @WestsideLAGuy]

There actually is a lot of truth to this in very elite circles. My most successful college friend makes 8 figures as a hedge fund partner, dated baddies but married an average looking surgeon. He said the social & financial cost of marrying “down” was too significant.

Going back to the “finance bro” dialogue… can you fly a girl you’re just casually hooking up with across country private without really thinking about the cost?

If you can’t, you’re not what an NYC or Miami girlie would consider “rich”…

One hard part about being a driven person is that it truly is this experience over and over

[alaska r.c.h. @145k4]

i have improved my life a lot by training myself to complain as little as possible and focus my attention on things i like and enjoy instead. i believe im in the 99th percentile of this skill. however, i failed to consider that this is a very alienating and bizarre way to live

If my friends just watched as an old dude drowned me, I would never talk to them ever again.

What is wrong with people

[LASHY BILLS @LASHYBILLS]

A 70-year-old man was charged with attempted murder after he tried to drown a 21-year-old man on crutches at a residents-only lake in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, over a dispute about access to the lake.

According to a Hopkinton police report, Dana shouted at a group of young men that it was "time to go," referring to the group riding a jet ski on the lake

The group and Dana shout back and forth, with Dana eventually walking up to the group to confront them, according to officials

"Are you going to beat up a cripple?" one of Duffy's friends reportedly asked Dana.

"I don't care, I'll take a cripple." Dana responded, according to the report.

Speaking with NewsCenter 5, the victim, Matthew Duffy, said he feared for his life.

"I was so scared for my life because I can't fight back, I broke practically everything and this guy's on top of me under the water, I can't see what's going on, I can't fight back," Duffy said

Steven Dana was charged with an attempt to murder, two counts of strangulation/suffocation, and assault and battery on a disabled person.

@luisgonzaleznf @Andr3jH Because you’re out of available material in your current one? The early new world colonies weren’t exactly paradise

[False @faux_fast]

@luisgonzaleznf @Andr3jH A more realistic case is 10-20 years one way to Alpha Centauri, in which case the response lag is meaningful but not infeasible

It operate similar to the colonies of the age of exploration. High upfront time and cost investment but continuous delivery of natural resources back

[False @faux_fast]

@metalwalrus @Andr3jH Well now you’re stumbling into the actual reason that we don’t do it. There is no measurable ROI and it’s a pretty high risk endeavor.

You’d only do it if you had to, or if there was nothing else. Humans would exhaust the solar system before generation ships make sense.

[False @faux_fast]

If we cared to do it, current tech allows for colonies all over our solar system and generation ships on the way to others. It would just be a waste of human / tech capital until we exhaust Earth’s resources

[False @faux_fast]

The problem with this take is that interstellar travel is a solved problem

The barrier to human space societies is that they have very low ROI. It’s not that they’re technologically infeasible

[Derek Pederson 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇻🇪 @DerekPederson3]

Science fiction nerds are gonna hate me for saying this but the Great Filter is that interstellar travel is probably more or less impossible and there is no reason to come up with any other explanation for that.

This is not a rag against aid. Aid relieves pressure and drives down prices. Vendors can’t price gouge when water is being handed out for free. But there is never enough aid to go around

[False @faux_fast]

We have so perfected the supply chain that people fail to understand that things don’t just appear

Price gouging incentivizes immediate relief to disaster-stricken areas that otherwise go neglected. It’s not nice or fun for the people involved but that goes with the disaster

[sammy @loserbent]

my evil ass econ textbook is arguing that price gouging during a disaster is a Good Thing, Actually
