Compressed earth bricks are fantastic building material and easy to build the machines for it.

And it's all open source!

I'm with you on this, OP is being egocentric and playing a zero sum game which it clearly isn't.

Do you never see content that has no connection to your viewing habits?

It happens all the time and I got hit with the warts and pimples a few months back, just a counter point, I watch YT daily.

It's mostly shorts where you will see it

I got those for a bit but it was a couple months back.

YT algo is so messed up and it seems the more they try to shape the content people view, the easier it gets for bad actors to exploit the algo.

Shorts are the absolute worst for it and it's why I mostly stick to my subs page over the home page.

Thank goodness for that too. Star Control 2 was too good of a game to lose and is one of the best examples of this.

Star citizen has a very basic version of FoIP, it does help convey emotive state even if a little janky.

Add in stuff like head tracking and you get a very natural feeling to interacting. Give me haptics and I'll be super happy.

Hand gestures go a long way too

Yeah I don't mean Sam is a jerk but there is an element of dishonesty that twigs me.

Elon isn't above reproach either but I share interest with him (aka Robert Heinlein) which informs me on his decision making process.

I gotten SBF vibes from him for awhile now.

Elon split was the warning

Nope, we do not. I was annoyed when he pivoted away from the mission but otherwise don't really care.

Stability AI is looking better after this shitshow.

People using watches as a store ify value is more a commentary on the state of fiat financial networks.

A Rolex has scarcity value, and can act as a deflationary asset is what's at play there.

I do believe they are having a correction right now as the luxury market starts to bottom.

He didn't even make a point, just gave us a fact about their social support programs.

Clearly paternal leave doesn't fix the core problem since it's been there, and grown, over the entire time the birth rate has fallen.

It doesn't even make sense to do it unless both parents have exceptional careers, and most people just have mundane jobs.

Both parents have to work, if you want to increase birth rates then you can't force everyone to be a dual income family.

You'll notice that all the high birth rates are with single income family structures.

And you would be correct, if people drilled down into the data you'd see the birth rate drops off massively by 2nd/3rd gen when they hit the modern world.

It's the Amish and Mennonites that seem to retain people well by having it be optional.

America is more likely to be Amish than anything else if we got solely by the trend.

I'd say there is a lot more too it than that

People are really missing this point within this whole issue.

Falling demographics is also more than a single total number, the age ranges matter as well.

if it's used for productivity increases only.

We are well past that point.

It will be war, it's always war that changes the social order.

Changing the financial network cannot be solved by planting a few more trees, you need to have a solution that values labor over rents again.
