Most people (i.e. average person) aren't really going to care about this stuff. It's more that owners / companies (and their investors) in general will benefit tremendously this (almost disproportionately so). The need to hire will decrease, so you will be able to do more with less people, and capital becomes less distributed to an increasingly smaller and smaller group of people.
Take taxi -> uber / lyft -> waymo for example. When taxis existed, the revenue went internally to medallions, or drivers themselves in the place where the service was deployed. Then uber came along, and it was deployed to a city, and uber would take a cut, and that capital would be distributed to employees / investors of uber + the drivers who lived in the communities of people that they were serving. Now with Waymo, there isn't even a payment to local drivers, it's all going to be distributed towards employees / shareholders of Waymo. And most of them are in SF Bay Area, so it's going to increasingly enrich SF Bay Area, in a way.
One of the things that continues to surprise me is the speed at which things are changing. What I mean by that specifically is even tools like Claude Co-work and Claude for Excel that just launched. If you've used it, you quickly realize that you're never going to learn Excel commands again.
And then I think about all the consultants that are sitting in the big four and how it's completely going to change all their stuff and how they do things. Then there's the second-order effect of folks that are going to be able to produce so many more Excel spreadsheets. This means that downstream industries of anyone essentially that uses Excel are permanently going to change. They are going to be able to do research or crunch numbers much faster and automate this stuff faster than previously ever before.
It's honestly mind-boggling. It's hard to wrap my head around it. I think I've had trouble the past few years trying to remotely be even close to wrapping my head around this stuff.
everything is everything nothing is also everything something is sometimes everything, but anything removed from its context is nothing a collection of nothings because things want to be thinged not thought about
nothing can pretend to be everything and what can we do but try to find every thing to be some thing onetime I tried to do something only to realize I can t expect it to ever be a thing so I stopped thinking about it and thinged itself because it didn’t have to be anything I thing you can’t think yourself through thinging anything because then it shouldn’t be called thinging thinking is doing but thinging is listening because things have things to say not doing things onto them because not everything is a standing reserve and should be done it requires thinging
I was just recalling that short story called "Funes the Memorious" by Jorge Luis Borges. It is about a man who remembers everything. Every leaf, every moment, every sensation. He can't think. He can't abstract. He's drowning in specificity.
Who you are is what you remember
yeah in the longer run, if you wanna complain you should complain
if you want to get wasted or smoke cigarettes - badly, i say go for it
life is too short to not enjoy it and bitch about it if you feel inclined
it helps sometimes to acknowledge the consequences imo
Roc Camera update v0.4.2 is live
- Thanks to @mishaderidder.eth a bug that we found in v0.4.1 we patched it
- Can show old photos we've previously taken (the old proving format)
- Detects legacy directory layouts and proof validity
- Some nice UI elements to show you which moments are still using the old proving schema. You can re-prove it as well by clicking the icon and it will turn green
Roc Camera update v0.4.1
- Order of magnitude improvement on ZK Proofs used to take 20+ secs, now a few seconds
- 'Photos' are now called 'Moments' - i.e. take verifiably real moments
- If you press the green verified badge in the moments gallery you can see the proof output
- We've got some under the hood updates on the OS side, should be faster and snappier overall to use
- (Uploads are coming soon...)
- and much much more
if you have any issues updating the software, DM me (thanks)
so often - i find myself unable to make a decision, so i do something that forces the decision upon myself - and then lo, and behold - look what the cat drags in (it's decisions, the cat is dragging in decisions)
My general feeling the past couple of years I've noticed is that the opposite of complaining (whether publicly or privately) affects my physical health - when I complain I feel worse, and when I do the opposite of complaining, it actually makes me feel better
