Behavioral economics of the preceding decades trained people to sit and stare.
His success is due to a shared idea lots of money = positive contributor
Tons of visualization through art, and ways and means defined through story.
Of course tend to need to be very literal about these things.
Frankly a computer meta verse isn’t that interesting
I’d rather figure out how to grow neuron structures that let me believe or have skills in anything and just babysit this stupid fleshy husk literally
It’s all wrapping my electrons in a database in firewall rules. The database outputs are pegged to one social meme or another?
My kids are being raised on a diet of learn to compute and be kind, not a conqueror.
Rather than stories of Davids and Goliath, or it has to work this way because it did work this way.
Mirror neurons can start blinking on and off to less specific story, constrained to build and tend kingdom or flock.
The toughness humanity has rewarded belongs to conquerors of others. The toughness we need is conquering self.
I don’t owe billionaires validation, or politicians allegiance. They can tough out having their figurative identity suffocated.
To the flames…
It’s mesmerizing to me how so many think office life is a necessity for data entry work
Nevermind open source developers building the software world we rely on via email for decades.
I can root it and install alternative store
What alternative software can I run on Occulus?
That and all the extra engineering for managing users for business reasons not technical wastes real resources to prop up a technology company that isn’t interested in novel discovery, but servicing contemporary business obligations
If they’re so smart and capable of pulling useful metadata off unstructured data, why do they need me to maintain a specific profile?
Really kind of feels like they rely on having concrete data and the meta part is marketing
We do it through college then stop. Think of it like term limits.
How much of this is really actually technical work and just data entry, sexed up for cashiers that got older?
Isn’t this what automation and division of labor are meant to do?
Good job, we achieved the goals. Go do something else.
Stop going to work.
Switch to open source projects.
Let social media crash.
K8s clusters with Kilo hosted on laptops, desktops.
We have the tools to blackout the web and bring a whole huge part of the economy down.
Zuckerberg could be Pauperberg if the internet gathered round chanting “this is the new way”.
I mean you know DC has no clue how anything works beyond quid pro quo.
If I’m connecting to someone via that app it’s over a Wireguard tunnel. On desktop, let me drag files over, append to a synced message thread (stored in SQLite or something simple)
Open source design focused on beating desktop operating systems when it’s strength was always networking.
All the attention is on building tech for corporations to satisfy political memes. It doesn’t have to be if software people built different software
They tend to do better with PR slight of hand. Maybe because they get it’s all a political boondoggle and SV companies are run by finance wonks.
It proves Apple’s data labels and growing awareness digital ads drive little business, which proved Facebook is a non-contributor to the economy in a real way
Zuck is just looking to keep his good times rolling as interest fades. This isn’t courage, this is “the writing is on the wall, let’s try something sooner than later.”
