As an audiophile, nothing beats listening to my favorite music on my $250,000+ MBL sound system.

Being right years ahead of others isn’t nearly as satisfying as people think. Nobody apologizes for treating you like a crazy. They just come back years later, repeating what you told them as if it’s some groundbreaking revelation because they finally heard it from someone else.

Both parties have had full control of the government multiple times in 30 years.
Healthcare is still broken.
Housing is still unaffordable.
Wages are still stagnant.
At some point, the argument that one side is the solution stops being believable.

The thing you have to understand about a Blue Tsunami is that it is the politically-engineered capitalist duopoly functioning exactly as intended. It is a pressure valve for public animus.
All this will give us is gridlock and performative Select Committee investigations preempted by pardons from Trump and maybe a slight easing of economic precarity at most. Meanwhile, the central contradiction of imperialism will just be dressed up with Land Acknowledgements & LGBTQ colors and continue apace.

Every tech bro rn

People should always be in control of the future.
OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that “AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”.
People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.
