Economics is the most powerful school of magic, able to transform "people can't afford food or rent" into "food and rent are not in demand."

Undermining the Fed to get lower rates now is like ripping the batteries out of your smoke alarm because it’s beeping. It’s quiet for a bit. Then your house burns down. Credibility anchors expectations; expectations anchor inflation.

I kinda think the way people use ChatGPT is sort of aspirational because it seems to emulate the way rich people have sycophants lying to them all the time until they lose touch with reality and also their entire minds

Everything happening is a lot.
Take a breath. It’s not on you to fix all of it.
Find a corner of it you can work on.
Do a thing today that matters to you. Help someone you can help.
Don’t let anyone talk you out of trying.

AI evangelists talking about the importance of good data annotation to the functioning of AI models, juxtaposed with how poorly data annotators are treated in the workforce is quite jarring.

I made an offhand remark to someone about how I’m sick of every post on LinkedIn saying that software engineering is over and AI is going to do it all. And he said “no the AI still needs to be trained so we have to create content for it.” It’s the matrix. We’re just feeding the computers.

I love data. I love looking at it and analyzing it and talking about it. I also love coding. Unfortunately the combination of these two things is pure evil.

As someone who loves data analysis/data science/data engineering and coding in general. It is becoming harder to not be repulsed by the whole industry. Silicon Valley is so eugh.
There is a quasi-religion in Silicon Valley that views AI as godlike. This faith has always been parallel to Evangelical Christianity: salvation (transhumanism), the rapture (the technological singularity), and demons (Roko's Basilisk)
Lately the AI faith has fully fused with Christian Nationalism.
