My 14 year old son calls me a Casual and I don’t even know in what context he means. Multiple contexts I assume.

@cafreiman Yeah this movie’s values are like so strangely inverted from everything I believe

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@emollick Historically we over estimate the short term pretty badly so it's amazing that we aren't now. what are the same folks giving 2% probability to over the next 12 months?

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@GregoryConti19 here's the part where you figure out that rich entrepreneurs are only rich by accident, they were always just trying to build cool shit that solves the biggest problems.

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@bamitsmanas Love u tho

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@bamitsmanas I worry if you guys internally are mainlining astra you aren’t using the same product as the rest of us anymore and might need to dog food a 200 plan to understand the product

"People aren't ready, this is gonna change everything"

You know what people weren't ready for? Fucking mammoths. Tigers eating them. Monkeys ripping their arms off. The black plague. The ice age. Smallpox. Vikings pulling up on the beach. Drinking water that gives you diarrhea until you die. Getting a scratch and losing your whole leg. The Mongols. The Spanish Inquisition.

One volcano can send us back to the dark ages and these safety guys are gonna be shocked. Oh the robots didn't kill us? It was a volcano? Imagine their disappointment as the hot ash rains down on them.

A solar flare is gonna explode your phone in your pocket your legs are gonna be covered in battery acid and your bank account will stop working. You're afraid of a computer program doing math?

"Things are moving too fast" homie you live on a rock that periodically deletes everything. You are one the most luckiest entities in a 100 light year radius living during a golden era. Cheer up.

My ancestors crossed an ocean in a wooden box because they ran out of fucking potatoes.

"The social disruption will be enormous!"

Nigga World War 2? World War 2? Hop in the people carrier we're landing on the beach.

Are these people out of their fucking minds? Do they not know what we've survived already?

A couple decades of air conditioning and people suddenly think oh this is the natural condition of mankind. No. We used to have eight kids because seven didn't make it. You're gonna be fine. Man the fuck up.

Accelerate.

@thsottiaux 18 hours later, feeling a little disappointed as a fanboy of codex; compaction on sol 6 and luna 6 seem ... broken, taking a really long time @thsottiaux ; that seems to be contributing to a sense that these are just super super slow, even on fast mode?

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@thsottiaux Stoked, price cut on something working great for me is exactly what I needed after having spent … 5 banked resets in September? Now I feel almost like buying $1000 of credits at 40% off is probably worth doing for Luna max

@seanward Communities of Artists and writers are rife with envy, self contradictory in their commercial pursuits, and even when not explicitly toxic, held at a median of mediocrity by the fact that almost no two people who find each other are great artists, let alone 3, 4, etc.

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@RadishHarmers This is why I’m a little snippy. Academia has never had any respect for the real work of building for customers as shown by this reflexive view of the startup business world as “hustle grindset make VC $$$ go up.”

@RealDianeYap @TKlatte This is what you say to local service companies as a warning shot that you’ll have to leave them a bad review if they don’t remedy

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@TKlatte

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@danfaggella Tax / redistribution but only for a while. Reasoning: human government will hold onto power as long as possible, tax filing is essentially a negotiation against that power by those with means to negotiate it; I suspect we’ll solve death first and be left with only taxes.

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@Skoorbkaz yeah its weird to be like "in case they are conscious we should legislate away the possibility of treating them well"

[Johno @johncgilmore]

It was always going to be the entrepreneurs versus the ivory tower

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@slimepriestess Either this or some dualist hypothesis seems necessary so this, or similar, seems to be a rational default to me

[Johno @johncgilmore]

@ant_dracula @staysaasy Successful salesmen and successful CEOs perhaps
