Humans are a terrible influence on computers
No joke flipped a coin between security and AI.

As I do not own a fleet of NVIDIA-branded lambos, you can guess where I ended up.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I thought it was high time, now or never, before the light was put out, to break the spell in which I had so long been bound.

The year is 2025. The rarest skill in the world is acting normal for like 15 minutes. For me of course it's effortless

i saw someone talk about the declining rate of computer science college majors as "zig when others zag" and that's actually a really risky strategy. pays off big if you were a comp sci major in 2005 (another major software labor market downtown).

But if you were a journalism major in 2005...

Hour 1: endless suffering in a doomed world
Hour 10: I am getting my ass beat by a mime
Started Clair Obscur and it's just the most tragic shit you can imagine, nothing good happens to a single character and they're all weeping all the time, and then combat starts and the game is like "try using a fire spell on an ice creature to do extra damage!"

This is correct, but I also hate how there is truth to elite schools providing access on name alone.

My requests for interviews exploded between getting a BS from a good, desirable, but not top-tier college, and getting a ME from a top N place.
Reminder: more than 60% of four year institutions let in at least 75% of applicants. A school with an admissions rate of 65% is one of the more selective schools in the country. College admissions shit is entirely elite neuroses about like 100 schools, or total bullshit.

This: if you have any sense of risk management, or hell, self-preservation, you get how little has to change for you to lose your shirt in the US.
Millennials started their careers during the GFC, witnessing stable income households destroyed by circumstances outside of their control. Then came Covid, which was largely more of the same. They’re voting as if they could lose everything, not as if they could have everything.

r/theredpill was a formative text, outlining our current descent into madness.
i made this point about the ideological and psychosexual dimensions of conservative opposition to clean energy and a certain slow borer of boards replied to say that actually MAGA just wanted cheap energy

it physically hurts to think about how we as a people have become so intrusively focused on things we hate that we’ve completely forgotten to focus on things we love. we’ve completely detached from simple exuberance—this feels like a collective death.
