Historical trends is another kind of trap, because employment used to mean something different compared to the necessity an income has become today.

For most of history anybody could just claim land. You literally just said "Mine!" And it was yours. You could shoot anyone who tried to enter it. You could do whatever you want - hunt on it and trade the fur and meat for pure gold, fish, drill for oil, create 100s of acres of opium fields.

Frankly, for most of history, nobody needed a job.

Today all land is owned by somebody, and even if you do own it, you still owe taxes and it comes with all sorts of restrictions and zoning for how you can use it. Often they are managed by POAs and HOAs, so it's not much different than renting. For those that do rent, it's even worse - you stay working forever.

I digress - even as recently as the 1970s or 80s, if you wanted a job, you had one. If you wanted a house, you had one.

Today, you need a job to survive, there's no safety net (at least not the United States) and basically no way to legally obtain the resources, space, and structures a typical human needs to survive well in the world.

So yeah, something like a 35% unemployment rate - where rent is the most expensive thing in the economy, nobody is allowed to build houses, nobody except for a few are allowed to sell goods, nobody is allowed to freely trade or construct anything - is a cause for immense daily suffering for no good reason.

hIsToRy will not look back on this brief era fondly. It's poverty and suffering for no reason, and we could (and will) do better.

X to doubt.

Nobody is using anything from Anthropic lol. OpenAI and Anthropic can barely keep up with text-to-text and have basically given up on everything else.

Everybody uses Gemini for text because it's better with the web and far more accessible, or they use Kling/Vidu/Hailou, Singify, etc. for media production.

Literally nobody is using that Claude trash except tire kickers or to see what all the hype is about, since it's advertised down our throats.

No amount of advertising will make Anthropic good, as long as they are copying OpenAI they are doing nothing of value.

Epic is trash. The whole company is basically Tim Sweeney crying on Twitter.

> I think a VCS written in Javascript is also inherently a nonstarter

That's because you have no clue what it is, or why it's in JavaScript.

Nothing else you said is interesting or valid.

Keep copying other people without a clue why you're doing it. Let's see how many customers you get.

> Fortnite

The only cool thing they did (technically they didn't) - a game that is becoming a platform they can't handle.

> The idea that nobody else can make a gamedev-oriented VCS because somebody in the world made a little hobby project along those lines is frankly ludicrous.

They dropped the "folk" and just made it "lore", it's too close to our branding. It makes no sense for Epic - their site is basically a vibe coded trash version of our real one lol

All Epic does is copy other people, that's why Fortnite sucks now and the company is going downhill.

It's a regular loading state.

Keep slowly copying other people's ideas without a clue why you are doing it.

Keep losing Fortnite to Roblox and random indie devs. You think copying another person is going to help you? Lol

Lore is copying us with "git for gamedev" messaging, and their entire brand.

Epic interviewed me asking all sorts of questions about my customers and use cases.

"Pagan" "Lore" lol Our site used to say "Folklore" at the top of projects.

They still don't really understand the customer or use case, so have fun.
