(16,744 posts)I mean 14 years after I first saw what continues to look like an encroaching, extortionate, disingenuous rollout of technology that blames all the wrong things imo..
This is cultural appropriation of my culture of white collar, blah, leftist-bourgeois (that has to be a thing - hat-tip to Evgenia Kovda), english speaking, pot using, Environmentalist (an actual category of human damn you ;-/ ), womens libber culture!
Ha ha..
Your model of immigration still sucks and it is driving a (by now global) race to the bottom. The planet is overpopulated. A lot of the discussion of mental health online and in mainstream media (if anything - I come back to Stewart and Colbert as an easy communication solution that cannot be easily commodified- there is no need for a Texas Cadaver Scandal in data making things worse by tacking on a Hennessy: The Musical) sucks..
;-/
I hope Hennessy manages to wriggle out of this one and throws Pichai to the dogs..that would be my recommendation. Because Pichai is an idiot. Sorry..But he is a billionaire. He will be okay.
Hennessy is better than that rogues gallery: Fei Fei Li, Peter Norvig, Anthony Lewandowski (ai God ..cracked), Andy Rubin/Amit Singhal (sexual harassers), Name Redacted (I know he slept with his undergrad..sorry but Google should maybe consider why their management culture isnt immediately accepted with open arms- so cut out the pearl clutching..and I pay my dues as best as a crank who isnt actually histrionic or kayfabe peddling, but you dont have to be paranoid or a Taylor Swift feminist to consider these guys unfit in any sane society for more than a narrow say; that is not MeToo hysteria. That is common sense if you are female. Come on bruh -how is something about some totally random creep -Andy Rubin, about you -unless you are shilling an IPO for creepstalkersrus.ai, in which case it is definitely about you! Sorry..Truth Serum!)
These are not things that are anything like the truthiness of right wing conspiracy theorists.
Ruth Cain wrote the best and oldest article on mental health that encapsulates it from the left.
Efficiency!
I dont want this to be a pointless excercise in self-gratification. That is already online and podcast and influencer culture and a cottage industry of lousy tech criticism and Judd Apatow and Chuck Lorre.
I dont want to do this, but this is all really indirect and I dont want to wait another 15 years.
I want this ended asap - ideally in a year. By Feb 2027 with an explanation.
But importantly, whether that is possible or not, this illicit construction with no explanation that doesnt look good so far.
This is Kids Nation (Emily Topping).
I would never halt something if I thought it was worthwhile.
This was not worth it for me.
This frankenfood like trickle downinfonomics. Even from a pragmatic standpoint this is not worth keeping.
If i lose access to marijuana that is fine by me.
Though I would rather not.
This is pragmatic scientific math. But I am not sacrificing 15 years of my life, ignoring the death of my mom and getting shunted off to bullshit.
This has to make sense.
Like with mom and metformin. This is a strong hunch and it isnt about lame stuff.
There is potential here for people I like..they are also the real world not only malls and factory farms and Hollywood/Bollywood or most of that junk. I have very specific types of people into whom I like to invest my additional resources and ..it is definitely Not Jonathan Haidt! He is an idiot! Cannon fodder..off with his head! 🤭
It doesnt feel like the web or kayfabe if it is like Yasha Levine or even Matt Stoller ( my not far left cred!)..lol
