Bravo.. Finally a voice of reason.

As someone who works in AI, any CEO who says that AI is going to replace junior workers has no f*cking clue what they are talking about.

Steve Jobs was a narcissistic asshole who treated people like idiots. More specifically:

- Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder - Narcissistic Personality Disorder - Borderline Personality Disorder

He thought he could cure his cancer with energy crystals and fruit juice.

Social media is the new smoking...

Widespread adoption before understanding risks - embraced globally before fully grasping the mental health, social, and political consequences, especially for young people.

Delayed but significant harm - can lead to gradual impacts like reduced attention span, increased anxiety, depression, loneliness, and polarization

Corporate incentives misaligned with public health - media companies design platforms for maximum engagement, leveraging psychological triggers while downplaying or disputing the extent of harm

How about the US government stop subsidizing farmers? Let them fend for themselves like any other business.

The governing bodies do not want to do anything about this because of the money generated by the races.

It's a cash cow.

The only way to solve this is to allow them all to dope. It will level the playing field somewhat, however, will then become an exercise in economic warfare: those with the money will be able to afford the better dope and will win.

WTF.. Sick and tired of the incessant cheating by these cyclists. It never ends. They cheat, then win, then walk around like they are some big sh*ts.

I mean, I am sick and tired of cyclists in general because of the way they act where I live. They obey no traffic laws, run red lights, never signal, blaze through intersections, and generally act like they own the road.

It's amazing how many of them forget that they are like cars and must abide by the same laws.

Everyone is trying to "copy" Pieter Levels "success" which as of now is "brand effect."

The guy started his thing over a decade ago and people look at it now and think they can replicate it.

The stuff the guy codes is garbage and what he does is far from solving any problems.

And, I do not believe his revenue numbers. At all. But people on the Internet see some shit posted, believe it, and then compare themselves to it.

Gleaning anything from his "1 in a million success" is falling prey to survivorship bias.
