Perfect example of Betteridge’s law on the title with a nice sprinkling of Dunning-Kruger with the author…

Thanks, that was actually really interesting and I learnt stuff I didn’t know beforehand. The thing is your comment seemed to trigger quite a few people (me included) because it seemed insensitive. Thankfully you later commented that “For some people (like all the ones in the article) they want it fixed. Others are perfectly happy the way they are, and both are fine and none of anyone else’s business” so you obviously get it. It’s funny how easy it is for people to misunderstand each other in forums like this. This has been a learning experience for me.

Hey there chief, got any sources for your comment? Like any kind of peer reviewed references to the links between oxytocin and loneliness, romantic relationships and orgasm? Would be interesting to read.

I like to shower in as dark a possible a bathroom. I find it enhances the creativity effect by a huge amount. Also the slight risk of an accidental, life altering fall from not being able to see keeps it spicy!

There’s something he said in that interview that felt like a hint about why he’s behaving like he doesn’t give a damn anymore.

“For a while there I was like really getting demotivated and losing sleep over the sort of the threat of AI danger and then I finally sort of became fatalistic about it and said well even if I knew annihilation was certain would I choose to be alive at that time or not and I said I probably would have choose to be alive at that time because it’s the most interesting thing. Even if there was nothing I could do about it. So then, you know, then basically sort of a fatalistic resignation help me sleep at night because I was having trouble sleeping at night because of AI danger.”

A billionaire who believes that we’re all probably doomed within the next decade and has accepted it so he can sleep at night.

Maybe explains a lot about his behaviour? If you know this all ends in the next few years, why not just try crazy shit.

Thanks :)

Can I hazard a guess that you’re an ex redditor? People try to be nicer to each other here. I’m a reddit refugee myself and it’s sometimes hard to change habits but this place is nice and it’s worth it. To me this whole migration kerfuffle seems like a rare opportunity to be more thoughful in my interactions with people online. So far it’s making for a much nicer experience.

Soon there won’t be an inch of the planet that isn’t being live streamed, whether people are aware of it or not. I really wish Mark had been hugged more as a child.

The kind of people who stick around because you pay them aren’t the people you want to stick around.
Coincidentally I notice that Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG) is trading down at the moment (28.01-0.28) so if you’d like to buy some shares in one of the biggest producers of popcorn in the world now’s a good time lol

I’m sure plenty of nice folks use “y’all” but unfortunately, from the perspective of a Brit on the other side of the ocean, it’s not a positive thing. Because of recent history it will forever be associated for me with red hat wearing, low IQ fanatics. I can’t help it either. The second anyone says “y’all” in a conversation I assume they’re idiots at best and dangerous, racist, fox news watching fanatics at worst. There would have to be A WHOLE LOT of clear examples of nice people using that expression for me to change my view. I just haven’t met any yet. I’m not trying to be nasty. I have literally never met anyone who use that expression who didn’t turn out to be a terrible person.
