@iamgingertrash@alth0u I used to do the same thing, with both video games and eating. I’d simulate holding the controller and the exact buttons I’d press to control my character.
@mamboitaliano__ Even includes multiple lessons. One should heed nominative determinism (such as not diving in a place called Bad Dives), though it could also be used as a force for good or even aid in making decisions and predictions (like sending in the Finnish divers to finish the job).
@sporadica If you can be swayed into “not caring” once, I hypothesize that you can become much easier to convince to stop caring about other things of a similar or greater scale in the future. I would be very wary of this.
@sporadica I feel like there have been multiple examples over the last decade of people just becoming numb to certain things that would have caused outrage previously. I’m worried we’re going to see even more cases of people just “not caring” anymore.
@sporadica I understand that loss of privacy has been the cost of useful technology for a while now, and that it’s only being accelerated with so many of these new features being accessible to us now, but I’m still very wary of giving up so much privacy (especially if it isn’t necessary).
@Polymarket It’s clear he had his own agenda. Instead of meeting the graduates where they were at and celebrating their achievement, he made it very clear he wanted all of them to get on the AI bandwagon no matter what.
@rtl1025 She’s done five thousand dives and the place where she died was called Bad Dives? That does not seem like a coincidence. The husband even says it must have been fate. It sounds a lot like nominative determinism.
@teortaxesTex I think given his mentality, if his wealth, status, and connections were to reset to 0 at this moment, he’d still find a way to escape the permanent underclass.
@iamgingertrash I’m not a fan of giving up on an entire country for them to become part of something they don’t want. But, I wonder if there is some arrangement where Taiwan actually would want this or something along these lines, which could in turn lead to a better outcome.
@r0ck3t23 But people need to be ready to continuously level up. If that does become the predominant mindset, I can see a potentially bright future. There can be moments of significant AI progress that upheave entire swaths of society at once, but if that happens, they must not give up.
@r0ck3t23 That said, the best thing the average person can do right now is learn how to use the technology and come up with things they can do that AI can’t, and keep up. In a way, this does force society to continuously level up, so could actually spur a lot of growth.
@mitchellh@Miles_Brundage I can imagine stages in a company’s life where focusing on MTTR would make sense. And I think there is a lot that a stable customer base can be willing to tolerate. But frustration can be a huge incentivizer to search for and then switch when something better comes along.
@mitchellh@Miles_Brundage Focusing on MTTR can leave so many dissatisfied customers not being able to use your product when they need it most. Sure, it may help get new features out faster, but what if your customer base cares most about the core product that keeps getting derailed?
