Life is the leading cause of death

Same thing can be said about other versions of early tech; internet services were horribly unreliable and out to kill travel agent and others jobs

Oh right I am sorry... forgot this is HN... you meant to express concern about your job replacing

My bad

Noted that aside from Einstein most of the others were just engaged in shallow FOMO business building; cars, computers, business as usual.

Numerous other options to solve those problems existed.

The return on their mechanical investment and abandonment of their kids, from a STEM context, was meaningless; it's all been superseded by better modern solutions. They were engaged in meager iterative improvement and social moat building.

Einstein is the only one whose contribution will be discussed in another century.

Financially ledger is just a social construct; the IOUs of the past are never paid off as they never mattered.

Finance shit just keeps innumerates and those ignorant of physics believing wild end of the universe theories.

For more look up Debt jubilee's; humans wiped the debt of the dead off the books and no black holes opened within the sun, no gods descended from Olympus and slaughtered the children

Fucking mesmerizing how its not just MAGA nutters obsessed with old spoken and written finance traditions; different semantics than religion but same goal of kowtowing the proletariat.

This site helps propagate such paranoias with the tilt it has towards startup funding and yada yada. Smartest engineers I have ever worked with earned PhDs designing experiments for Tevatron and working on NASA satellites. We often had a laugh at how such social hacks dupe so many wannabe smart and educated people.

On the contrary startup genius software engineers are easily duped by social hacks.

But wait; there's more; the code written a decade ago manually was also just to increase shareholder value!

Turns out tech people are not the only literates to use text based systems.

Why should Anthropic, a company out to capture eyeballs of billions care about 450 point score in a single Reddit thread.

That metric is p-hacking... found a number but not necessarily one that isn't subsumed by others.

Tech bros among the proletariat may recite the (arbitrarily chosen to begin with) proper spoken/written traditions but end of day they're a minority of the real populace.

Just another generation of overly dogmatic, over specialized linguists, like preachers.

Riding a single track career for decades, externalizing all kinds of useful effort and thought; wonder what the occurrence of dementia will be in Millennials over time due to obsession with eventually replaced technical languages while lacking depth in manual self sufficiency skills.

I am going to predict relative to prior generations more of them become demented as they become more codependent and decoupled from a world that's language has changed. They will lack that real world grounding that comes with deep and wide muscle memory based skills.

(Oh no an inconsequential social credit score as marked by complete randos who are materially irrelevant to reality; just validating their biases and gripping tighter causing more of reality to squeeze between their fingers; little cognitive fascists set upon a uniform social narrative just like the biology of religious nutters; turns out physcial norms impact 100% typical biology of software engineers)

Some struggle regardless of remote or onsite because office job culture has become fucking stupid FOMO fueled social animal farm, not a meaningful economic contributor in real terms.

That never comes up though as the dogma must survive.

Don't know you, text on a screen, don't care.

American freedom; off the hook assuring a social safety net exists for you is pretty great.

Will go my entire life never having to worry if you end up buried in medical debt living in your car.

And statistically worse in many ways. Statistics are just euphemism for history, prior observation; stats exist for both categories. We can write and carry on about wars we won and ignore Vietnam with stats just as we do English. It's just a language that lets us ignore physical reality like religious catechism; same biological ability to delude ourselves.

There's the whole ignoring externalities of capitalism and reality itself for toxic positivity thing.

Sure is great though watching where I grew up slowly become engulfed in wildfire smoke; something that never happened until 10 years ago.
