I assumed it was just "hire more LGBTQIA+ prison guards!" so-true

It's worse than that. What I've seen recently because of federation is "(verbal performative) support for disadvantaged people as long as they maintain a successful small business in a disadvantaged area for no less than three years and aren't anywhere to the left of Bernie Sanders!"

I don’t believe you’re thinking that far ahead into the future. I’m talking about a world where VR is so immersive that you can’t tell it apart from reality.

When your virtual goods feel as tangible to you as physical ones, then NFTs will suddenly make sense.

When I talk about bazinga brains, this is the kind of post I want to have listed as a dictionary example of the term.

The cryptogrifters assume that their internet funny money will automatically sell and build castles in the sky by planning for how to exploit that automatic success and enshittify it before it even exists.

In my more conspiracy-brained moments, I sometimes think NFTs are a plot to get people to accept DRM by buying into it in the same way homeownership got people to buy into capitalism in the US and UK.

I mean homes at least have use value but for people who don't know what that is I see your point

Driverless cars are better than meatbag cars acktually

This one gets around a lot for some reason, and even evidence to the contrary is "this will only make the bazingamobiles better, one death at a time!"

Guess what's actually cool, safe, and easy to make driverless? Trains.

Techbros crave Rube Goldberg style tech solutions to solved problems because the Rube Goldberg style tech solutions can make them richer and sound more le epic.

Also they hate other people, particularly those with less money or more melanin than themselves, and are loathe to share a room with them.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

They'd rather fantasize about escaping into space to get away from the poors and other undesirables.
