I don’t know, all I know is I’m the best one.

For the downvoters, these are lines from a Childish Gambino song.

Booo

This just in: insults are insulting

How you doing?

What sort of psychopath schedules an 18 minute meeting?

Fair enough lol. Do what you enjoy

That feels like a lot of work for very little benefit. Do you just want to jerk off with no cleanup or what?

5 min to fix is generous too. That includes finding your tools before and putting them away after.

The unbounded profit motive, or more simply greed, ruins everything. This happens across time, continents, cultures, everything. It’s human nature, or at least common enough that we’ve never been able to do anything more than slow it down temporarily.

That is the thing though, they don’t have any actual work. In theory, they simply ingest data and spit out logical decisions based on that data. In reality, the data has been so selectively filtered and manipulated at every layer of management on the way up that it becomes functionally meaningless. Executives are so bad at making the right decisions that their subordinates actively hide what’s really happening from them.

Further, executives serve no useful function beyond tricking employees into feeling like they matter and the company cares about them. This is why they have hour long all-hands meetings where they communicate no useful information but constantly repackage obvious business goals like “sell more stuff” as “increase sales velocity” because they think using the right keywords is the same thing as intelligence. This performative but ultimately useless behavior is the primary reason for their exorbitant salaries. They distract everyone from the reality that the company is stealing all the money the business generates.

Sum all that up and you get a superfluously verbose moron working with bad data to make decisions that have, at best, marginal impact on the stated goal of the organization and consumes a hugely inflated amount of resources in the process. That does sound like the perfect human equivalent of an LLM to me.

They made awful games so who cares. I don’t think even Activision could have made it more like a Call of Duty clone than 343 did.

To be clear, that means they are all terrible for you. I think that’s pretty much universally true of anything you can buy in a gas station.

You people, I swear. I said specifically that I’m not arguing for increased population and yet your whole response is structured like that’s exactly what I said we should do. Do you even read what you respond to or do you just scan until you find the right key word to launch into a rant?

I’m not arguing for population growth but we definitely have more than enough resources for everyone now. Scarcity isn’t the problem, it’s that we allow people to hoard those resources and we waste a ton of them.

Sure, but if the law doesn’t stop them then somebody else is going to have to anyway.

The longer it takes for the justice system to do anything useful the more it feels like that’s exactly what we need.
