Ok so... Im not a @Kurz_Gesagt hater... but when their big hit at AI is that using it both makes crappy outputs and (paraphrasing) rots your brain so you cant think anymore... I think I'm done... I expect better of "deep thinkers" like Kurzgesagt... "thinking deep" demands more.

I remember the idealistic techno futurists talking about how in the future computers would be so powerful we could talk to them and they could interpret our words and design what we wanted based on our spoken language... (ref: like 4 dozen star trek episodes have this plot)

and now... all of a sudden... because we have some shitty companies involved... the star trek technology is treated like the second coming of hitler... when the issue is that the people controlling the technology are hypercapitalists who want to suck the bone marrow out of us to sell it.

idk how widespread this is, but back when I was hiring for a pretty basic data analytics/engineering role that really just required some fluency with Python and SQL, HR would tell me all the time with a straight face they just couldn't find any marginally qualified resumes for me to even look at. And when I got frustrated and asked to see some resumes they thought "weren't qualified" it became clear there was a huge disconnect

During a business trip I heard about multiple companies who are struggling to hire people. Jobs available but they can't fill them. There is a huge disconnect in the job market somewhere- the systems responsible for efficient and effective recruitment have completely failed.

It’s important to remember that Apple can brick these devices pretty easily. Even the desktops. Just saying…

I really love this green/amber phosphor retro-futuristic UI aesthetic. EVA captured it especially well. We need to resurrect it.

This is just bizarre… like I can see who obviously isn’t reporting stats and someone filled it in, then there’s the fuck you of the average being above 4 in Canada… good god this may be the most terrible map yet.

They wanted to get their dream bodies before their wedding and surprise their families, so I offered them $250,000 and gave them all the resources they’d need! Go watch :D

When I talk about how the RBMK is a fine reactor, as long as the operators don’t fuck it up… I did not picture training them from childhood in the ways of the reactor like some sort of fallout post apocalypse regional town quirk

So @PigLazer … can you help me measure how viral this went? The number of times you got sent this should correlate with how viral it went. So how many times have you been sent this? (I was going to quote post β€œthis you?” Then I had smart thoughts and wanted nerdy answers more)
