These people are literal leeches on society. Like I get it, nobody likes paying tax. But the simple fact is: if society would crumble due to everyone acting the way you act, then you're a leech. Whether it's paying taxes, running scams, or doing crime.
It's frustrating to me that people shirk responsibility for their actions when they act in the way that economic models would predict. As if acting like a rational agent within a system voids any responsibility you have as a member of society.
See any/all of the following and tell me how often you hear similar lines of thinking among techies:
* "Well, I can get rich quick by running this scam, and it's not technically illegal, so, me being a rational agent, I'll run this scam"
* "Sure, Facebook may be contributing in large part to the downfall of western society but those RSUs taste so sweet"
* "I'll use the Oregon infrastructure but if I live across the river then I don't have to pay for it. And I can buy things without sales tax in Oregon!"
In short: "You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an asshole."Some people think so. I interviewed someone who, on a screenshare, would just type every question I said, verbatim, into antigravity. Then he'd look at the output for a second and say "Hm this looks good" (it was not) and then run the code and paste the error back into the prompt. It was a surreal experience. I didn't end the interview early because it was so incredibly wild I couldn't even believe it. I don't think he had a single thought the entire time that wasn't motivated by the LLM output.
It was never about human rights. Bibi gets to do genocide and we supply the weapons to make it happen.
khamenei being a piece of shit is pure coincidence. If he was a nice guy he'd be equally dead right now.
This feels very much like a "mission accomplished" moment. Nobody knows what the future holds. Highly likely it gets worse.
