  The question was do I feel like I’ve reached the end of what the world has to offer.

  No, and as an example of what I find enriching: music, books, TV, film, dance, poetry, news, science, games - other people would count sports… even if you find between 51–99.9% of entertainment of any and all kinds unenriching and unentertaining, then you still find some things meet that, and thus have not reached the end of everything in the world.

  My point being with such hyperbole: no, no one has reached the end

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  frequently, yes. You can’t convince me you’ve never been entertained and enriched by entertainment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt I could even make a dent in the amount of art, music, theatre, film, TV, fiction, dance, and reading about scientific studies made only this year so far if I was trying to consume and experience everything.

  Let alone everything from the last 200 years. So, no, even without leaving my house there’s enough new things to last a lifetime

  I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you’ve got to have a job.

  Waste is how you frame it.

  Even literal poop has a benefit.

  I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I “waste” making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.

  Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise (“map pack” “local SEO” and brand tie-ins)…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a tricky question, arguably there are more people on this planet that call countries by their Mandarin name, followed by their Spanish name, followed by their English name, than the name in the native language.

  De Guo > Alemania > Germany > Deutschland for example

  The other part of it is there’s not only one monkey who does Hamlet correct on the first attempt, there’s two, three four, guess what - an infinite amount of them.

  And another infinity that get it right after 5 minutes

  Another infinity that take exactly 10 years 3 months 2 days 3 hours 4 minutes and 17 seconds

  And another infinity that takes one second less than the life of the universe

  And another infinity that takes a googleplex of the lifetime of the universe to complete

  that’s the point of the thought experiment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Summary⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I used it (some android version of it popped up) when driving to an eventthe other day and the other people were texting as I was on my way. It tried to summarize the entire 9-month conversation not just new messages, and it thought the group chat name - “Bilbo Baggins My Balls” - was just one person talking to me, so it was complete nonsense that completely distracted me while driving. AI strikes again.
