Did one more refresher on my pharmacy explainer, but it's 99% the same as the last version.

Imagine you're the CEO of the hottest semiconductor company. A hot woman flirts with you. You flirt back. She invites you to her hotel room. You go. The door clicks shut behind you. Then she says there is no championship ring and you need to attend mandatory cybersecurity class
I guess it's also emblematic of AAA development that the door problem isn't solved once and then any time it comes up someone points at the door problem design doc and they instead have to reinvent the goddamn door every project
Some of my friends think AI will make it possible to build AAA games in just a couple of months. I think that seriously underestimates how complex game development is.
I often point them to game designer Liz England’s “The Door Problem.” It’s a great example of how much thought goes into game design. Making a good game still takes hard work and experience.

Bryan Caplan is, after all, a spiritual slave.
But this is not such an uncommon view. Born out of excessive scientism and misanthropy, as well as a desire to avoid any form of suffering at the expense of all else, there is a broader set of beliefs I've discovered here, which holds that humans should just cede control of our fates to AI, since we are inferior. It's worrisome to me that a non-negligible fraction of those who develop AI hold these views. I don't think most people realize this.

Pfizer lost over a billion dollars on their inhaled insulin product, Exubera. There were a bunch of problems with it (most importantly that it cost twice as much as other forms of insulin) but the funniest was that patients really didn't like using it in public.
You popped a cartridge into it, the clear chamber filled with white "smoke", and then you cleared it one breath. It looked exactly like you were smoking weed out of your Pfibong.
There's still an inhaled insulin product on the market, Afrezza, which looks like a weird vape.

me: "hey it's kinda rude to peer into other people's shopping cart and make comments on their purchases. do you enjoy it when people are all up in your business?"
5yo: "yes? I like attention."
