It might be. It also lets my loyalty go slowly by slowly. Monopolies work until they collapse. If you can't tell, it frustrates me so much. I wonder how the internal culture of Uber changed when it went from almost zero interest rates

Because I think we've been generous because we recognize the benefits that come to us for being so generous. Proper generosity recognizes that the other's well-being relates to our well-being. For example, giving funding to USAID

I wish they would spend some of that on the help/support function within their apps. Whenever I have a problem on Uber, it feels like a never-ending maze to figure out how to get any support, and I consider myself versed in navigating

I think the biggest question the US needs to ask itself is do we want to be normal like most countries or better?

I wish governments would realize that the more barriers and friction they put between their citizens and good tools, the worse their economy will probably be.

You wrote 7 paragraphs originally. What specifically do you want me to address?

It seems that you may not want to actually have a discussion, rather just reinforce the idea that we're either screwed by employers or screwed by helplessness. Fair, my one example on layoffs may not land with you. But do you want us t

Fair, I never said there wasn't risk involved with ownership. I even made sure to qualify when I said that people who own don't do labor, because often there is labor involved in ownership. So I don't think it's a free l

Well the essence of capitalism might be that people who own the capital receive money for owning it, not doing any labor on it necessarily. So when we talk of people doing labor for money, we are assuming they can only own their body and re

For so long, people, especially politicians, have said that companies want to create jobs. But I think most companies want to create profit. And for so long, I've had people tell me to just get a job. But I tell them that I don't

Maybe the problem is trying to govern a global space with sub-global governments.

I've often wanted real name policies for writing and anonymity for reading. And I don't think bans are the way to go, I think one should just shift the norms on this so that it becomes easy to verify an identity and therefore easy

I might be willing to pay more, maybe a lot more, for a higher subscription than claude max 20x, but the only thing higher is pay per token and i really dont like products that make me have to be that minutely aware of my usage, especially

I tried to hack the statusline to show this but when i tried, i don't think the api gave that info. I'd love if they let us have more variables to access in the statusline.

You just gave me the idea to 1) photo a cluttered drawer and have AI identify all the things, 2) it'd be nice if it could take that output and structure it (eg, items A, B, and C are in drawer 1) and 3) maybe even have a cheap cameras

I appreciate you saying that, i think sometimes with ai conversations i wade into them without knowing the precise definitions of the terms, I'll try to be more careful next time. Thank you.

I wonder if this is like when a restaurant introduces a new menu to increase prices. Is Opus 4.7 that significantly different in quality that it should use that much more in tokens? I like Claude and Anthropic a lot, and hope it's just

In 2020, I wrote a book and livestreamed the writing of it. Felt more raw and real at the time but I guess is probably more human vs ai these days. Not sure how to make that a platform, as when i wrote i explicitly put everything directly i

I like the concept. I'd love to see more types of data available, especially maybe race, age, connection to the president or their families, donations that the pardoned/commuted people have given and to whom, and more. I'd fi

Depends on your crowd. He doesnt often sell them as 10,000 year Long Now projects but that he'll achieve 10,000 year projects in 2 years.

It has me wonder how much he wants those futures or just knows they are very good vehicles for fundraising, because his personal business model seems to be more based on fundraising and stock price than profits.

The analogy that recently came to me is like internet itself. Your advice seems to say just do everything locally on my computer without access to the internet, because internet might suffer service disruptions or price hikes in the future.

Ironically in chatting with Gemini, helped me realize that telecoms have often solved this problem of unlimited usage with rate/speed limiting. If one goes over 10GB or whatnot of data, then the speed drops from 5G to 3G, and data rema

Then why not update their chart to at least say that? The numbers (shading, actually) on the chart are not absolute numbers, they're relative, so just make it look as if I spent a lot of time on it. If they're gonna change their l

Well then I would just not use their service. I used extra usage once and just for what I'd consider a low amount of tests and coding, racked up like $300 in an hour or more. For some, that's not a lot of money, for me, I'd j

Fair, and I think openclaw and all the orchestrators are having agents maxing out the plans. So maybe they figure out a new tier that is agent-run vs human-run. Agents are much more insatiable, whereas humans have a limit. Not sure if it&#x
