Oh hey, I wrote a novel about this, and it’s out next month: www.torforgeblog.com/2024/05/06/e...

An “AI professor” startup will be able to deliver none of those things but if it convinces enough people that it can then maybe it lasts long enough to be acquired. The fastest way to do that is not to invent new tech but to convince people to buy existing crappy tech.

If we're talking Hope, not Optimism, then I agree, for this and the climate crisis. There's no giving up at this point, but we must go into the fight clear-eyed, understanding now how bad things are inevitably going to get, and recognizing the odds are long against us. Nevertheless, we Persist.

I’ll be honest, easy access to HMart, 99 Ranch and Daiso is one of the things keeping me in Austin right now. I love these stores, and as a hillbilly kid who grew up without these wonders, I am loathe to do without them again. www.nytimes.com/2024/06/11/d...
