When you live under Apple's roof, you have to play their rules. But also- if you are tracking your partner's intimacy through an app, I think you might be doing it wrong.

Except we will probably go the other direction, taking rights away from humans. Not just your American rights, but rights we don't even have words to describe yet. Like, the right not to have your personal data trained upon, or the rig

There is an arms race to be the brightest, biggest vehicle on the road. Each driver wants to be the safest and many want a shiny high status vehicle. The result is a runaway feedback loop of ever more worse design I would love to hugely cu

I sort of agree, but what I'm worried about is that our own desire for social connection and validation has been hijacked as a commodity. As I see it, "McDonalds" capitalized on our lizard-brain's desire for easy calorie

If this solution is as effective as you claim, then wherefore comes this sense of societal malaise? I'm not disagreeing you that life is worth living IRL, but still, if you just need to "touch grass", then why _aren't_ w

Yes, it's an absurd situation for so many to be so unhappy when, by all measurements, this is "the best time to be alive. But do you really think that Americans are simply that spoiled and stupid? When an entire nation sinks into

It's common for old fogies to claim that the future is bad and the past was best. But I don't remember a time in my life that was this stressful. I really do think the world is getting crazier, dumber, and just all around worse, t

Why should I trust Tesla's AI with my life, much less everyone else's? They couldn't even get the CyberTruck's trim right! It's wild that we have not demanded greater governmental oversight over consumer AI products

You are right to be horrified but what is the use in maintaining the pretense that we are not strip-mining our citizens of their attention?

While elevated Anime does exist, it by-and-large deserves it's reputation as pulp. It was cheap to produce by humans, and even cheaper to produce by machines, but the kids simply can't get enough of it. I am slightly terrified at

Hand written html, no CSS, #FF0000 font color AND egregious use of gifs? And not a single piece of social media?! Now THIS is a what website should look like! Maybe I am just getting old but I miss the Good Old Days of the web.

Everything about our world is designed for us to spend money. Walkers don't buy cars. People on bikes don't buy gas. Why would the overlords ever promote such anti-capitalism? That's not in their interest. More to that point,
