Something that concerns me a bit about this is: like code copy-pasted en masse from other sources, it might appear to do what one hoped, but without understanding where it comes from it's unlikely the dependencies are understood, nor any other consequences it might have.

“Thank you. Since we decided a few weeks ago to adopt the leaf as legal tender, we have, of course, all become immensely rich.”
Ford stared in disbelief at the crowd who were murmuring appreciatively at this and greedily fingering the wads of leaves with which their track suits were stuffed.
“But we have also,” continued the management consultant, “run into a small inflation problem on account of the high level of leaf availability, which means that, I gather, the current going rate has something like three deciduous forests buying one ship’s peanut."
Murmurs of alarm came from the crowd. The management consultant waved them down.
“So in order to obviate this problem,” he continued, “and effectively revalue the leaf, we are about to embark on a massive defoliation campaign, and. . .er, burn down all the forests. I think you'll all agree that's a sensible move under the circumstances."
The crowd seemed a little uncertain about this for a second or two until someone pointed out how much this would increase the value of the leaves in their pockets whereupon they let out whoops of delight and gave the management consultant a standing ovation. The accountants among them looked forward to a profitable autumn aloft and it got an appreciative round from the crowd.”

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹

“Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

I genuinely don’t have any blame or recriminations to share, and I’m not angry at anyone who wants to stop fascism in whatever way they can. Yes, we should learn from mistakes, but the fault for the rise of fascism lies with the fascists. Always and forever.

daniellamyoung_3h Unpopular opinion: you only hate chat gpt because it makes it harder to stack rank and discriminate against people. So what everyone can write well now? great it's a tool! Just like moving faster because you drive a car.
The good news is you'll be easily able to hire for that writing job you need. The bad news is you won't be able to discriminate against candidates who are not as good with the written word
Also, an obsession with the written word is a tenant of white supremacy

Elon Musk's twitter is worse in some ways--I see a lot more spam and occasional bigotry. But the changes to the moderation policy, and the resulting exodus of the most censorious people to other platforms, have also made it exponentially harder to assemble a cancellation mob, which is a great social benefit to weigh against those costs.

Facing Up to Crypto’s Gen Z Stigma
Students should be among the earliest adopters of Web3. But, currently, they’re not using the tech in the numbers we might expect, says Benjamin Sturisky, research analyst at Delphi Digital and president of Gator Blockchain.

The future of crypto lies in the hands of a generation that does not appreciate it. As a sophomore in college, I have witnessed this firsthand.
In theory, college students should be the most open to using consumer-facing applications with incentive structures. They are too old for their parents to cover their expenses but not old enough for a full-time job. However, they are skeptical of crypto products.
From my vantage point, the hesitation to use these applications stems from a lack of trust in the system, or that the incentives are simply too good to be true.
People believe this primarily because of the content they a
