We have all of this miracle tech that could make life better for pennies what used to take dollars, but the powers-that-be want to maximize profits.

And that is too often done from artificial scarcity.

Hope comes the margins, and what you describing.

Are you doing some van living or experimenting with ways to service the under-resourced with your making?

Comments point out this is not a new invention... Still, it was new to me.

Next step, from my perspective, would be the 3D print, or other mass production of them on an non-capitalist, abundance-over-artificial-scarcity model.

In any case, they will make us much, much poorer here in the land of the free, so I am back to the "collapse now and avoid the rush" stance. But this time I'll use that sweet teacher money to make it more systematic -- time permitting.

Sorry I'm doomery and mournful today.

"Instead of closing the human story like a poem, we’re leaving it open like a tab—forever refreshing, never resolved."

ChatGPT wrote that in a conversation today. Because of course it could.

It's also the fact that LLMs can deal with this whole class of questions -- ones that seem novel enough -- that give my intuition that AGI is a'coming, whether in 10 years, or 20 ... or 2.

UBI or genocide (nothing I can do about it, so prayer of serenity.. )
