That's a good question. I've been a proponent of a "Universal Livable Income" in order to really decouple the need for working-for-income with basic survival. But that's more difficult to defend against the "causes inflation", "no-one will ever work", and "where will the money come from" crowds. Not to mention the "they don't deserve it" crowd.
@bobjonkman @scottsantens.com @narF Appreciate Scott's answers, which I did indeed read.
It does make sense, as I went on to natter at @narF, that the point isn't that it fixes all the other structural wrongnesses so much as makes sure everyone gets their clean socks on and some Shreddies so they can get out the door in a morning and on to their particular next steps. I'm not naive enough to think its a switch flipped straight from end-stage capitalist hell to utopia in one go.

Another interesting take on the hazards and benefits of LLM usage in an educational context.
@mattsheffield He always was good at hot takes with an ego angle.
@christianschwaegerl So are at least half the folks in this thread, I've noticed.
I loved this conversation with John-David Dalton, author of Lodash, and one of the most genuine and fun people I've ever worked with (across 3 companies!), about open source and burnout. If you listen to nothing else, listen to the last 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbWx6sdhq7I&t=1975s
I absolutely nailed dinner tonight.
Freshly baked new england rolls with spicy crab. Homemade potato chips, all dressed flavour. And a caesar.
The wild part is that they're doing it midair

@Taweret Are you watching the Indian one or the Scandi one?
I know this is of no surprise to anyone who has paid attention to me for any length of time, but I just spent some time today thinking about how the industrial and post-industrial world is such an anomaly in human history.
We live in an aberration.
When was the last time you sang?
This is not a tale of despair.
It is freeing to know that the modern world is unusual in many ways compared to most of human history.
This means that things have been different! And it means that they can be different again!
And it means that we can look at the examples of the past and see what things made people unhappy and what's different today. And we can look at what makes people unhappy today and what used to be different.
We are not *worse* than history, or *better* than history, we are just different right now. Sometimes in ways that are good, and sometimes in ways that are bad.

After about a year of working on it, my #NerdStitch cross-stitch tribute to the 1985 Amiga Deluxe Paint King Tut is done! Created from the original image, I did have to scale it down a little. The stitched version is 180x200, about 34,000 stitches.

The United States is not at war for purposes of the War Powers Act clock, but is at war for purposes of characterizing dissent or opposition as treason. Got it.
