You rule

You would have to somehow scare our elected reps into doing what is right

Or start our own “people’s hospitals” or even insurance (there should not be insurance schemes IMO)

Or maybe not pay existing hospitals/ insurance companies

I do not know how else to “try”

Does the following thing they make you acknowledge mean you can’t use this to pick stocks?

Have you ever watched a nature program? 99% of animals are spending 99% of their time trying to survive and reproduce. They aren’t asking themselves “why?” hence the absence of any existential crises. That is the universal behavior, and it is totally valid for any being capable of knowing this to be depressed about it.

I had em, powder didn’t work. Don’t remember if I was using diatomaceous earth, poison or both. It got to the point where I didn’t know if I was itching because of the powder, the bugs or my head. Eventually I washed all my clothes in the bathtub in really hot water - and that’s the first time I saw them. I realized they were prob living in a bag of mine that I had at the hotel I was at when I got them. Threw that in a hot bathtub. Washed all my clothes - left the bag outside for 1 Wisconsin winter. Problem eventually resolved. Didn’t need to get a heat treatment - just very thoroughly “boiled” them myself.

But fast forward a few months, I had to go on another trip. When I reached my hotel and unpacked, I saw that I had a lot of slow moving bugs in the bag. Idk if they were eggs initially or what, but they survived an entire winter of very cold weather. Needless to say, I immediately gave the bag a hot bath and there were pretty heavy casualties. I think it was contained bc I think they were still coming out of some sort of dormant state and unable to scurry away.

Priya the worker getting replaced is not a tragedy in any sense other then it prevents Priya the person from helping her family and maybe realizing more lofty ambitions for herself.

We made computers to do our work for us and we are succeeding. But even before GPTs, there were a lot of problems with tech changing what it means to be human.

How much of this even worth fighting?

Résumé/CV: Can provide via email. I have ~10 years experience using Python for many things. Building websites (back to front), testing, data analysis, writing/using APIs. In my last two jobs I have been an analyst and not a developer, but used Python to automate as much of my job (and any tedious tasks, be they mine or others’) as possible. Also use Python/sql for data related tasks for the ‘business’ people

I used it to write a regular expression to find some strings (I can never remember the syntax). I used it to double check some logic that I wrote “here is my input data, is this what my output should look like based on these rules.” I guess it could’ve written the code too. I used it to figure out what bike chain I needed. Asked a tax question, and the rest has been f-ing around. gpt-3 is very bad at chess, comes up w banal fiction, but is good at synthesizing non-fiction.

That does sound more apples to apples. But without looking anything up, it seems like this time we’ve built up a bigger free-money cliff to fall off of

Yes - 2008 was like stepping on a land mine, and right now it feels like we’re staring at multiple rocket launchers pointed right at us.

Someone said they remember 2007-8 vividly and it felt precarious. I don’t, but from what Hollywood tells me, this person must be Michael Burry. Now we have a bunch of money that has been printed, which has done nothing to improve the economy and just caused a lot of wealth disparity and inflation. The Fed trying to get that under control is one of 2 concrete reasons for SVB. It has probably caused issues at many banks (they’re bag holding) with the only difference being their depositors are less reactive. What’s the solution? Print more money. Add to that geopolitical conflict between the US - which (let’s be real) doesn’t really stand for anything anymore other than the value of a dollar - and BRICS - which doesn’t stand for anything other than devaluation of the dollar. Putin once said the US economy is based on housing prices and he’s more or less right. It’s all tech and finance - which is either exploitative or can be done anywhere. BRICS has most of the resources and most of the production capability. A globalized world is more efficient and better, but debts need to be paid.
