I'll just leave a documentary here that challenged for me the dominant view around world war 2 that I was indoctrinated with. "Everything is a rich man's trick" For example it said we funded the nazi's and ford woul

Yes and did you see how Biden issued dozens of pardons before he left office absolving several leaders of their lies and whatever was actually persecuted to the "crime" level? Seems if crimes are only crimes for normal people, the

you had answers here. I'm trying to understand why our leaders can get away with lying so much and it being obviously in the public record, with videos on YouTube etc, and there being no recourse or accountability? Is it true that the

looks like I had some issues with my thinking. thanks for pointing it out. correcting my stance to: we are going there. your insights reveal we are actually further away than I thought. But I think I underestimated my skill in using the AI

If I revise my original claim to this, it more accurately represents the spirit of what I was trying to say. As I believe you are focusing on the clinical application depression, this edit would misalign our interests. > Google and other

Ever heard of the documentary, "Everything is a rich man's trick?" it's more like some really rich people can trick a lot of other people. And then the next layer down of rich people, can perpetuate the same until you ge

Ah I can agree with that. It sounds like of like astroturfing as well, but we have AI now so it's probably AI generated. I've been noticing content that felt like this a while ago on different social medias, including hacker news,

Agreed. The theory is there, and even then sounds like it would work like you said if the government was "well-governed, principled, high-integrity, trustworthy". Theory rarely works according to the plan in practice, so as we see

ah. so this is a Jefrey Epstein email, not sure if its his. are you saying the emails implicate a difference in what systems the rich use versus normal people? something like that?

No I think we are taking about similar things, but the core of it is this: - you and other guy believe non-technical people can't build technical things because its still too hard and you need to know the technical things - I'm sa

Was your short term safety at the expense of long term safety? (assuming rights erosion and government failures ultimately harms safety long-term).

Yes I get that. And yes I did narrow it in by saying Product people. My point is why would anyone bother to know what goes into building x (a backup solution for example) if building it doesn't require that? Using me as an example, or

I’d like to spend more time to give you a better answer than i can now. Thank you for your response and engagement, And respect. Since you haven’t shared your definition of depression and what it means to you, here’s what I mean by it. Fee

Agreed. I think this answers your question ipython. Do you agree?

I think that product people are very much doing development with these tools; and trusting, deploying and maintaining them. The vast majority won’t even know the trust, deployment and maintenance challenges that technical people know and so

I think we are closing that gap with AI coding tools. A growing number of people people today can figure out how to run Fable in a co work session, or codex, and that can indeed set up the self-owned backup system for you along with an al

Right. when you say waste capitalism, I hear that it's really a hostile form of extractive, incredibly selfish, self-serving philosophy that takes more than is sustainable. When I believe sustainable practices can go farther that waste

You used evidence in the definition of evidence, or just still failed to define it.

OK sure, Google deserves credit for that. On the other hand, they also directly contribute to the technical addiction and attention economy that has created more depression and a lower quality of life for most people on earth. Maybe google

Probably news, on TV, or in the paper, or radio. I imagine also we had more connection socially in areas like coffee shops, the library, bars, etc. What was before that I wonder? Your thoughts?
