@mttaggart I am trying to say this in an understated way so as not to be seen as a complainer, but the total income to disposable income correlation has been sort of the opposite of whatever I expected it to be.And I say after a tremendous amount of lucky success and fortune.

@mttaggart I am trying to figure out how prepare my kids for the next 5-10 years of the quality of information just cratering. Kinda also wondering what the lift would be to maintain a home deny-list of all domains hosting AI content.

@mttaggart obviously it wouldn’t be automated. It’s be more like “oh, this website is offering AI generated content, some life story before a recipe, or is pretending to have manuals and troubleshooting, but doesn’t. Time to block this website and or host or cdn or hell, registrar”

@mttaggart but we need to find a sort of Democratic, crowdsourced way to like politely say “no thanks, don’t shit on our collective knowledge, thanks”

@mttaggart and I really mean this orthogonally to free speech/censorship. I vastly prefer good smut, or a violent FPS with a good story over this… wideband jamming.

@mttaggart it’s not an easy problem. Humans are not adapted to do the like Carl-Sagan-all-the-time level of skeptical inquiry that will be required. I think I need to buy a bunch of used books.

@mttaggart I also wonder though, if we’ll end up like making a markdown only sort of shadow internet on the theory that a network that can shove 4K video around for cheap could allow ascii through mostly unnoticed.

@mttaggart and I guess we could like vet non shit commits with our public signing key, and base reputation on that. This is veering in the direction of butt-coin and I don’t mean something that would require burning down rain forests, but like something that’s reliable enough without requiring absurd computation.

@mttaggart for now, I guess my question that i wish i understood is; Why are we giving sand dementia, and why are we abdicating logos (the greek word) to it?

@mttaggart python poetry + .envs in project folders not sufficient?

@mttaggart oh ok. I treated installing system python, to be immediately ignored, as some horrible medicine to swallow and move on. What was I missing?

@mttaggart fair. Python installed in a typical install location where multiple users have rights to execute it, and everyone pipping will stomp on eachother in hilarious ways. It’s not like .venvs are containers locked down to one thing, but not being in $Path, and using poetry add/remove makes it less crazy. But yeah, windows is not depending on a version of Python installed and managed by windows update, sure.

@mttaggart I compute in the order of 🍎🐧🪟so besides the one attempt at a joke, I am mostly actually asking what I am missing as this makes more sense on the first two than the latter.

@ActionRetro I wonder if I can just fill a Mac Pro 2010’s drive bays with Mac minis. Also, I wonder which combo of hardware would be the most useful/ridiculous Macducken.
