    I cringe everytime money grubbing is normalized. Bloomberg is now building an AI like chatGPT to do their forecasting. They are super proud of that, but instead they should be deeply ashamed. What value are they providing? People are just lining their pockets and other people applaud these people. This is a serious culture flaw.

      I’m THRILLED with the promise of technology making human labor obsolete.

      Is labor the best use of your limited time?

      Why should we design a society where people must labor in order to survive?

      However I’m DEEPLY concerned with our blind dedication to the private ownership of everything, exclusively for the purposes of growing the wealth of the few.

      I don’t believe we’re in a post-scarcity world yet, and so I don’t think we’re able to stop laboring altogether. But we’ve definitely reached the point where many have stopped laboring and are surviving on the backs of others. Their lessers.

      That needs to become embarrassing instead of a point of pride. We need to start shaming people into doing their part.
