lack of transparency kills everything. especially when the government already has hostile reputation towards its citizens. which is weird because it is way easier to get reelected when you actually do something that makes life of your people easier and more self-sustainable. but that's probably a bit too much to ask.

meanwhile on reddit the very same premise leads to Epstein files or something.

therefore - fuck all'em

it was fairly on the nose and I thought everyone will have a laugh about it. I was wrong

tough shit, me too. i guess we're friends now.

Just try Star Trek.

Remember that weird ass stream of WWE 13 that used AI players and generative programming for everything else?

Narcissism is scary and ridiculous thing. I actually know a guy who desperately wants to get a Nobel Literary Prize because "he deserves it!". Except no one rightfully gives a fuck. He's an old timer who ended up migrating to US after WW2 with a whole can of worms and then some regarding his national identity. Depending on his mood he's either Ukrainian or American, I'd say he's 100% narcissist who is all about clout. Dude never made it as a writer and gained notoriety in Ukraine due to his outsider status first and yet he's so vain it is kinda morbidly funny - like he insists he's the most experimental Ukrainian writer (even though he disregards every other writer as primitive and retarded) or that he did this or that first (like who gives a fuck?). But even with all these "accomplishments" he struggles to publish anything in Ukraine because wants publishers to cover the expenses and give him "the bag" for their trouble and when he fails at that he blames it on "Ukrainian people being ungrateful".

what baffles me is how blatant the big tech behaves. it is comically Bond villainesque. even big oil and pharma don't act like that - at least they try to play-pretend they're good guys (albeit everyone sees through their bullshit)

that's not how it works

I saw a custom smartphone used by the military - no idea what's inside but it looked like a regular one with giant battery and with some different OS. It also had a kill switch button (or so I was told).

I don't think arrogance is the right strategy to deal with economic bubbles. With that said, I fully support Amazon's arrogance in the face of AI Bubble because they have it coming.
