I'm back on X. Took a couple months hiatus after the death-threat phone calls to my family from the crypto weirdos. They can all fuck right off, permanently. I will not agree to speak of crypto again, so don't ask, not even in person. Thank you for respecting my family's privacy

Heard Ezra Klein talking to Alex Bores about AI and whether it will put everyone out of a job and what we need to do about it. About 750 million people on earth don't have electricity. Can we at least get everyone electricity before we talk about the "end of work"? It seems

Heard this in AA years before I realized it was wu wei: “It's easier to act your way into new ways of thinking than it is to think your way into new ways of acting.”

Modern problems require modern solutions.

In the time before LinkedIn or job profiles with photos, it became clear that I was mistakenly hired for a job over someone with a similar name. My manager and I agreed to keep it quiet to save any embarrassment. Ended up staying there 8 years and replacing that manager.
