In implementation neural nets end up being a variety of different chunks of code like we already have. They’re never just one file with one magical pattern doing all the magic

Software industry is again re-inventing the marketing to justify sitting and doing largely the same job


Those are not 100% repetition.

Little change in agency outwardly, but there are new details to review.


Money-less society with security to stop hoarders looting stores.

All digital security ends up security through obscurity; encrypt with noise the data along some algorithmic path to obscure what the data is, divide up go has admin and tier their access to obscure who is needed for what.

There still needs to be someone with full control over the AWS account or whatever to grant further permission. There’s no perfect system security and anonymity if someone out there can drill in and use admin/keys to unwrap things.

That’s why governments like CEOs and root nodes on such groups; keeps surface area for getting what they want small.


Your plan for social instability is hodl stocks with increasingly suspect value?

Hm. Mine has been learning how to manage small crops, carpentry and vehicle maintenance.

In the 80s laws were changed to redistribute pensions into Wall Street. I say we do the inverse to Wall Street and expropriate the gains as “fruit of a poisonous tree” with new legislation.


I can grow vegetables and fix my own car. However I’ll be dead before I have to rely on either of those.

My hedge is to simply be less fucked than the person with no assets and huge debts. The world doesn’t go to shit with a boom but a slow whimper.


Really? I can think of at least a few cases in the last 100 years where it boomed unexpectedly; world war, energy crisis, recessions, depressions, pandemics…

Someone’s survivorship bias has lead to confirmation they’re ready for anything it seems.

Most Fortune 500s of last generation are gone. Good luck! Count me as one that is not making political choices with yours in mind, and would, in the future, not be honoring some story you have to tell about an unknowable past.


I think you missed the point. I'm not ready for any large change. No one is. What I have done is get myself into a position where I can do what I want to do before there is a change and hold out as long as possible. It's a dampening effect, a parachute. I'll be in the same shit as everyone else, just later.


Money is a socialized hallucination

We’re following along with the pseudoscience and propaganda of the prior generation of post war shellshocked Cold War paranoids

Supply demand has more to do with real supply. Even if there’s plenty of housing in BFE no one wants to live there. Where the supply is and other variables matter. Cherry picked social media and corporate news may as well be throwing spaghetti at the wall. This is the colloquial equivalent to p-hacking.


I suppose if that’s the case then human society is a hallucination. It only has as much reality and value as we decide as a group to give it. Any bit of human construct can be considered a hallucination beyond realities like eating, drinking, and expelling without which we cease to exist.


Yep. Society is not immutable physics. Note how it keeps changing despite appeals of prior generations to stay the same.

How the species tries to blow itself up.

If we were meant to exist forever all these physics things would not be able to harm us. Constrain us to life on Earth. We couldn’t die.

Entropy is a bitch.


Hey, language is a socialized hallucination too.

Using that logic, thanks for agreeing with me!


Yeah it is. It’s highly mutable. No need for it to be what you believe it to be.

My point is the endless possibilities and only one real reality matters; enough people feel served by society or they’ll forget the words and reach for guns.

Your grasp of contemporary memes is not armor against physics.


Simple math and economics take is its old people caretaking the regulations and the nimbyism to insulate their own lives

Your take is still filled with euphemism for such things


Birth rates dropping means we may just end up wasting energy and materials which we can’t really afford to do given environment
