I don’t really miss the “psychedelics make you a better person” narrative. Mostly it just seems like some people perceive themselves as more egalitarian or antifascist after taking psychedelics.

The fact that there are 45,000 ‘trailblazers’ here couldn’t devalue the title any more.

Trailblazing, more like scorched earth policy.

Correct! A “tenant” is defiantly what the obsession with the written word is in relation to white supremacy.

And not for a lack of tough competition.

Coming soon, my debut light novel I (39M) Was Kicked Out Of My Party And Called A Podcasting Bro Because I Didn’t Want To End Homelessness In The United States Fifty Times Over And Still Have More Money Left Than The Entire Continent Of Africa, So Instead I Had Factories Build Me Plagiarism Accelerator Chips So My Company Can Lose Money Even Faster. AITA?

It’s an isekai story of a techbro reincarnated in a world that’s just like ours except he actually has that much money. Then again, that might become reality sooner than you think. If OpenAI keeps up their pace, they will make that $7,000,000,000,000 in just negative 1400 years!

I’ll do one more. The three biggest companies by market cap ever have been Apple, Microsoft and NVIDIA, the record being about three and a half trillion dollars each.

Sammy boy here is (allegedly) casually suggesting an investment equivalent to buying 100% of the shares of any two of the three most valuable companies in the world at their peak valuation. If you have that kind of money, you could just skip the pleasantries, buy TSMC entirely and build like five identical copies of the entire company.

TSMC suit: “And is the seven trillion dollars in the room with us right now?”

Can’t the OSs resize the image by itself? IIRC Windows 9x could already do that.

I always have my windows tiled or maximized so I just keep an epty black desktop background.

My wallpaper is white and subtly stripe patterned and it was in a surprisingly good condition when I moved in.

Artificial instrumentality project is going great

AI is playing a role in the ongoing climate crisis. Namely that of the villain.

Given the kinds of crowds he hangs out with (i.e. mostly other rich people and political elite) is that not an understandable conclusion?

I might not be a huge fan of his work, but I’ll take it any day over AI slop. At least it’s a creative vision.

Glad I’m not the only one.

There was a lot I left unsaid in the Stubsack comment because of how difficult it is to express the uncanny valley effect I got from reading the a16z blog post. It’s not just the very AI generated sounding prose, or the relatively broad knowledge of multiple forms of Japanese and Japan-inspired media combined with the glaring factual inaccuracies and extremely surface-level understanding of the topic. Even the whole angle of “how can we insert ourselves as a middle man to extract surplus from this” dressed up in a veil of celebratory excitement is par for the course for a private equity firm, but somehow they completely fail to understand anything about anime or video games as a business either.

The only way I can describe how the article reads is this: it’s like if an anime fan gave an introductory presentation about Japanese media, then a business analyst gave a presentation on the size of anime business, revenue of gacha games and market value of Japanese entertainment brands, then an AI bro who knew nothing about either topic but took meticulous notes on both presentations threw them together into a blog post and padded out the word count using GPT.

Edit: Here’s a long-form piece about Japanese cultural capital from someone who does know what he’s talking about, as a palate cleanser https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IM2VIKfaY0Y
