Just make sick days nationally mandatory. Set a baseline of human decency. You want to run a super-optimized rail schedule? Go for it - but humane working conditions are a constraint you MUST satisfy.

I agree that a pool of equal peers is tough these days. I think the Fediverse has a pretty good approach, where most end users are on mobile but you can spin up a server whenever. There’s still a big complexity/skill/cost jump fro

I’m not an AGI fanboy. I agree that the current line of inquiry (ie deep learning) won’t get us there. I think neurosymbolic reasoning is needed. That work is still nascent, and worse, we don’t have great ways to connect our current paradig

Yeah this is probably a needed feature. There are some good philosophical objections to post imports, but they’re overwhelmed by practical arguments for it. it’s a solvable problem.

Personally, I think the Fediverse and IndieWeb are in a much stronger position. Key thing to watch: does Mastodon manage to ride the wave created by the Twitter collapse and become a socially relevant force? Even in some small communities?

If you could live two or three lifetimes, would you really want to spend them all on the same thing? Feels like attention would become the limiting factor.

I agree. Every time I think about picking a markup language, I wind up wanting to use Asciidoc but then getting frustrated by the tooling. Maybe there's a great static site generator written in GO with strong Asciidoc support?? Antora
