We would have to live in a democracy or some sort of representative republic for that to be an effective plan, but we live in a corporate oligarchy instead.

That's sort of the point, everyone just wants to create a model to further their own personal career instead of actually working on the fucking problem. I guess they just assume everything in the world will automagically fix itself on

The biggest problem is usually avenues (four lane roads, two in each direction) with high speed traffic. Around here that means lots of people turning left and right and cars average about 40mph, many do 60mph. Unprotected bike lanes on the

The thing about bike commuting for a couple decades is you quickly learn that about half of the streets and and bike lanes are complete no go zone death traps, and there is no good way to really build this knowledge aside from just learning

That was my interpretation as well. The bizarre bit in the opening paragraph about Sundar saying that quantum computing will magically solve climate change is so baffling and stupid I'd probably want to quit after realizing that was my

Corporations are really leading the way here. If they can't preserve enough cash to last a month and plan to strike as their opening negotiating tactic then people should too. Why not?

I feel like I've read this article every three years or so for the past 30 years. According to my calendar this means we're due for another wave of "the singularity is right around the corner, uh, for reals this time! again!&

You're a biologist who also was in the Navy special forces and you also worked at Google for 20 years? I'm guessing you were the Google company epidemiologist on staff, right? You're so accomplished! Is there anything you are

This is such weird phrasing. I imagine the corporate prison industry uses the same words: "She was also one of the pioneers of the fledgling private incarceration market. By creating this dynamic new industry, unlimited synergies can b

You're forgetting the main benefit for google, which is getting humans to train all their vision models for free. At one point they were just forcing X% of clicks to fill out a captcha regardless of origin or identity just to get more

How about No. How about Bill Gates and his friends sell a few jets and start building free clinics in every major city? It's been two months of contradictory advice and hypocritic pontificating from experts. I'm getting real sick

I think "buybacks are not inherently bad" is a good point and still true in a theoretical perfect frictionless vacuum. But when we look at the entire economy and how all the money has been flowing mostly tax free from the governme

They used to teach risk management and disaster preparedness in business schools. They used to teach people that you have a duty to your company and your employees and society. Now all they seem to teach is how to maximize the stock price f

After spending hundreds of billions of dollars in share buybacks over the past decade many of the major airlines now look like they are about to collapse. Those buybacks made a handful of rich executives and shareholders, much, much more we

Delete your linkedin, facebook, and insta. That is the absolute bare minimum you have to do in order to have any semblance of privacy left. Linkedin used to be great before it became yet another monetized news feed. Everything is converging

We already shut down our entire civilization so that the healthcare status quo could be maintained and bills can keep getting sent to the correct address. How on earth is that pragmatic? We could open up massive free clinics in every city t

It's so strange that they brag about Kafka as their big tech achievement, the "relevant news feed" is what killed linkedin for me and many other people. Good luck moving the infrastructure for all those nonsense clickbait art

Does it honestly surprise you that much that Google is doing this? Have you been completely offline for the past 10 years? The thing that is so frustrating to me about stories like this is that I don't know who to get angry at or compl
