> chasing after pleasure

Pleasure is cheap, even addictive. Fulfillment and meaningful work are extremely difficult to come by. Everything is monetized, every interaction, every experience... money makes experiences transactional, they lose their meaing.

To have a fulfilling live people needs to participate in society, have opportunities, education, basic needs covered... and that is our failure. A kid can get 24/7 entertainment while lacking food or good education.

That sounds interesting. How is that different from a bank? What are the advantages and disadvantages compared with a traditional bank?

It is called feudalism. You have lords owning the land and everybody else needs to rent it. That is what capital is afterwards. You will own nothing, fight.

LLMs are not judged, the company employees and leadership are. Nobody puts in prison a car for running over a pedestrian either.

Thank you. Exactly that. Prices do not adapt to the scale that super-rich manage.

And it seems that it touched some sensible point as the comment is at -3 right now.

That does not change that billionaires are incompatible with capitalism. They have too much power, so instead of reducing costs, increasing production or providing better services they just play to be god with our resources. And they monopolize the economy, stop competition, and kill capitalism. And I think that capitalism is not that good and needs a lot of help from the government to function, but it was better than authoritarian waste.

Inequality breaks capitalism. Spending so much money as the 0.1% spends in luxury makes no sense. To let millions die of preventable diseases, or even hunger makes no sense. The fact that as a society we let them do that is a failure that needs to be corrected.

It is not their money. It is our resources that they are wasting. We need to better provide for our fellow humans even if that costs the rich a percentage of their luxuries.

And let's not forget about the top 0.01%. The smaller the percentage, the more depraved the rich are, and the more they use their money to influence politics and increase poverty and suffering.

With that form factor it seems uncomfortable to use. Microsoft Surface is nicer in that regard.

> from all sides of the political spectrum.

Trump has been manipulating the media, attacking the electoral process, lying, using federal resources to persecute political rivals... "all sides" seems unfair.

Oh, I get it now.

As of writing the article says 10. Other sources, sadly, indicate up to 39.

So, this are the images that AI agents try to imitate. What a difference the original does!

That's a great argument to continue consuming drugs. It is not just what you get, you also need to take a look at what you miss.

Been satisfied with what you have is a good thing. But should not stop you of seeking better things.

And this is the reason why we need datacenters in space.
