I was told a misallocation of a few hundred billion dollars would be preferable to missing out on the promise of computers that make shit up
I mean if the economy is ruined by enormous useless data centers, but I can make a video of them getting poop-bombed, are we really worse off?

It's kind of sad that phones are a useless technology now.
For a while, getting a call on your cell phone was the most important and urgent way to contact someone. Truly reliable emergency.
Now it's for banking ads and fraud scams. I might disable calls entirely on my phone.

I stopped watching the show at season 5? 6? Whenever it started to get past the written content.
Because I loved the books so much and didn't want to the show to color my reading of the story.
It was tough to avoid when everyone was talking about it as it aired, but I think it's worked out.

i feel like if you understand what the ending of the show was trying to say there's no point in having any content set after it.

Last week I encountered a driverless car, summoned to the curb at the lifetime fitness.
Travelling in the wrong side of the parking lot lane and pulled up "salmoned" (facing the wrong way for the side of the road).
