If you’re skilled at tech, use your superpowers for something good and moral. Don’t use your skills to maximize profit at the expense of souls. Don’t build technology for whomever pays you the most. Don’t maximize profit or shareholder value. Use your limited time on this.

In an age of expensive acquihires, where a company is acquired for billions just to get their talent, Zuck is allegedly just skipping the “acqui” part and going straight to paying top-tier AI engineers hundreds of millions of dollars to hire them. Brain drain from competitors.

How long until Comet browser comes to Linux desktop…? I hear great things. I’m hopeful, but as only a few select nerds actually use Linux, it could be a while 😭 😭 . I’m antsy, I try to use all the latest AI tools, but I also stubbornly refuse to move away from Linux as my OS.

Smart people care about how the natural world works. Endlessly curious, wanting to understand the deep mysteries of how biological life functions. Maybe it’s okay that school doesn’t just teach you things necessary to join the corporate workforce. Maybe there’s value in passing.

Robots. Moar robots. Humans are desperate for a slave class. If it’s immoral to use other humans as slaves (it is) then we’ll just have to build our own slave class with tech. No illegals needed. Simple really.

RT @sexytwerp: make sure you guys read 10-20 pages from a book a day unless you want to end up like these people.

Everyone should learn cursive. Everyone should write in cursive. Style matters. Aesthetics matter. I only write in cursive. If your schools refuse to teach your children, teach them yourself. Let’s return to a world which valued beauty. My handwriting:

RT @Sociopathlete: Who goes to jail if a Waymo commits vehicular manslaughter?.

I love self driving cars. I’ll take Waymo’s everywhere and anywhere when I’m in San Francisco. And when I’m in Austin (if I can get one). But I am really curious what the next death will be, caused by a self-driving car. Because there obviously will always be a next one. How.

Why does Grok 4 use “C.E.” instead of “A.D.”?
