  • “Tailor it to something that humans would actually like”

    Then proceeds to list foods that most people stop eating after college, if not before. And not just junk food, but the worst versions of junk food. When was the last time you heard a grown-ass adult call Domino’s delicious? Or a McDonald’s Big Mac, the poster child of the pedo-in-chief and his toddler-like palette?

    I appreciate Nile, and I’ll watch the rest later, but the foundation is not sound on this one.

    Besides, his goal is almost exactly why Soylent exists. Many similar products from competitors even taste amazing. I use one that tastes like melted ice cream.





  • The shirts do seem pretty random, but H&M is fast fashion. There’s a ton of things that can only be described as “throw everything at the wall and see what sticks”

    As for dead vs alive, we celebrate tons of dead celebrities. Recently I’ve been seeing a lot of Nirvana shirts, featuring Kurt Cobain’s face, and he’s been dead for 30 years. Similar stories for many bands from the 60s/70s.

    Even if we limit it to painters, most people can name (or at least recognize) a bunch of dead painters. How many living painters do you know of? Would people recognize their most famous works?













  • It will become a more specialized, niche knowledge. It’s similar to cars. In the 1950s, it was extremely common for regular people to know how to fix their own car. But as cars became more reliable and complex, fewer and fewer now know how. There’s still a definite market for mechanics and mechanical engineers, but it’s a specialty line. You go to college, or generally go through a manufacturer’s training program.

    What’s going to change are the expectations and expertise going in. When Microslop wants new developers, or support staff, or whatever else, the candidates aren’t going to be (as) familiar with it going in. They won’t be able to meaningfully apply their knowledge of similar systems and products.

    They’ll have to bring back extensive company-led training programs.

    This will apply to every large tech company, regardless of field. In your networking example, it would probably be run by Cisco, which isn’t too different from how it is today.
