If more people are trained you’d have more teachers available everywhere.

Starting at “artificial scarcity”/zero and building up/out is ridiculous.

There are plenty of people who would do such work, who probably need little training, but reliable routine blows up the speculation game. We exist in a state similar to watching a movie; suspended disbelief. These 60+ yo political truths? Don’t look away!

We know a whole lot more about logistics and manufacturing now than we did in the 50s.

It’s time for the story to move along.


This is a snapshot of now.

Where are we going with the money thing?

If the goal is everyone have money to access stuff (get to 0%)… why money?

Just provide stuff?

Socially make the story “this is how acquisition of stuff works and what stuff is available.”

Like we do now. Just minus the money.

Everyone lives under a quota for stuff given how much money they have.

What’s with the arbitrary data structure (dollar) and old man algorithms for dividing it up?


Yeah my problem with Filippo’s perspective is companies aren’t delivering what they promise either.

It’s not as if altruistic motives, are what drives big corp.

Open source often originates in big corp; k8s, Rust, and all the ML … none of them are exactly wart free or blowing minds as promised. Just the next evolution of a big corp financed mess from the 90s.

The response to big corp complaints is they get what they pay for. And since austerity for the masses, all your agency are belong to us, fuck big corp


If the content leads to destabilizing social life for the majority, passing laws that give government control of peoples health, advocates for violence, then yeah.

Freedom from some other twats mental illness means more to me than their freedom to be a twat.

Stop oversimplifying like a child. There are real impacts to enabling systemic bias.

If you want moral relativism because maybe subjugating people out of your view is ok, why waste effort when you’re the cohort being abused?


You mean physical structures. Math is just glyphs we use to cart around awareness of the motions of this reality.

I know it’s romantic to escape into the neverending-ness of reality, but we exist in a pretty well established perimeter of physical constraints, and we have yet to find even a theory that would let us break them.

A few academic tricks here and there is hardly concrete proof we can.

I think we’re looking the wrong way. What if we’re each a metaverse forced to live literally?

Give me designer drugs that bootstrap such a detailed hallucination, I think it happened. Way less wasteful than these toys like VR we just throwaway.

Don’t make the math literal, make the cognitive simulation so detailed it feels like it’s literal.

Maybe aliens didn’t die off. They just took resource consumption seriously.


I was hoping they’d do something more novel with the gameplay like break the fourth wall gameplay where I can hack the engine to hack the world; replace doors with walls, and characters would react to the state change appropriately. Like a god game in an FPS.

I’ve not played but I hear AI is still dumb af, it’s COD with a cliche Hollywood cyberpunk style.

Pretty sad our art is still tethered to 80s-90s fanboy stylings. I feel like the obligation for things to fit such a literal expectation constrains creators. Then again the stories coming out of the the dudes running these places. Egh


Oh this is a thing? This happens to me when I’m working all night. I don’t work late often but when I do I’ll drift in and out of a half dozing state to reset and have a burst of coding energy.

I never knew this was a Dali thing. I purposely push myself those nights to get to the point of drifting in and out.

Again, not something I do often, and when I do I’m already in a pretty creative mood.


Throwaway cause reasons; Job life, finding a job.

My education was in the late-90s in electronics. Offshoring took that career away by the 2010s.

Oh, I don’t know web app development or anything above CS200 by heart, or haven’t contributed a decade of free labor to open source; fuck off.

A modern college education and different experiential timeline does not make a college educated person anymore than 1 of 7 billion like the rest of us.

Real on the ground life issues for millions are waved off as nbd cause the data shows those millions of able bodied people who see society act indifferent they exist, as they are just a rounding error, seems to be acceptable discourse.

It’ll be interesting to see how this all unfolds in a nation with a second amendment and one political party recently sharing plans internally to announce they are overturning the election to protect their demigod.

It’s not tech that’s the issue; it’s humanity itself. Its root social language is feudalism and moral relativism. Tech is just the latest vessel for those behaviors.
