  • If it affects the world in an unavoidable way, why wouldn’t it?

    Before WWI, a war halfway around the world didn’t affect you. Now it raises prices within a week of starting.

  • IMO WWIII started with the invasion of Ukraine.

    Now we have both US and Russia participating in war.

    If china takes Taiwan then you’ll have the big 3 which will effect pretty much all other countries one way or another.

  • Orrr, keep up with me on the optimism, it would be like post WWII in which the pendulum will swing the other way.

  • Lmao

    Jump
  • Not op but nope. Same with office as well.

    There are just some people that enjoy watching others be uncomfortable and I think it’s correlated with having less empathy.

    When I watched the office, I just felt bad for Michael.

    A lot of those shows just focus on punching down.

  • I always thought what would kill Microsoft is their greed and insistence that their products should have a high price, remember how expensive office used to be even for regular people?

    So I always thought the solution was just go get everyone to pirate their stuff as much as possible.

    Never thought they would make themselves irrelevant by just making their products worse.

    I used to want a windows surface, now I just want a good Linux optimized laptop.

  • Amateur,

    You need to always have a bigger reward for the end.

    If you are gonna have a cookie now, then clearly you need to have two when you’re done.

    Unless you eat two halfway through…

  • Instead of this number, I wish we used something more comprehensive, like total hours worked, average income/wage and labour participation rate.

    The current metric only counts those looking for work.

  • He was a fairy tale villain, not a modern villain.

    A fairy tale villain is evil by virtue, bowser is always bad and will always be bad.

    Modern villains are more about becoming evil under the right circumstance, and serve as a warning of why you shouldn’t let that circumstance happen.

    The ending was all about that there is always evil in the world, it just needs to be contained by the hero.

    In a modern story, it’s more about society overcoming systematic struggles.

  • Which means it must step out of the water at some point.

    Or more terrifying, step on the sea floor.

  • The only good thing out of NFTs was that I learned what fungible means.

  • Huh, TIL

  • Anyone else a little surprised by the realization that if an enemy took out all datacenters it would actually improve a lot of things and take us back 20 years to the golden age of the internet?

  • This is like the most American headline I’ve read in a while.

    How about actual legal action, suing just means you get money

  • Thought your name was Grok

  • Arcane vibes

  • Not sure what you mean, but yes hyper competitiveness leads to less value for human life.

    My point was that it’s a negative sum game, we are all competing with each other in an unhealthy manner, in which we are all poorer collectively as a result.

    And it’s not even helping evolution since merit isn’t correlated to financial success.

  • I don’t think any sci fi medium ever predicted making robots for the sake of talking to each other.

    The fuck is the benefit.

    Usually when robots start talking to each other, that’s the start of the conflict in the book.

  • Since as humans we essentially rule the earth, it makes a lot of sense for us to adapt to a new reality that shouldn’t need fear.

    But that’s assuming we wouldn’t just spend all our time competing with each other in a negative sum game.
