People keep saying we’re in Idiocracy but President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho at his core wanted what was best for his people and when evidence presented itself he listened to experts to solve the problem. By all accounts a better leader than this.

One thing I do think Marx genuinely underestimated was just how fake the economy could get without fully collapsing

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

An article on data centers making people sick with symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, nausea, and anxiety.

Inspired by 82-0, I built a game that combines bball knowledge about historical players and their impact metrics, skill via lifeline buttons you can use to draft a better team, and additional bonuses for picking more balanced lineups.
