Capitalism takes innovation and beats the life out of it to flog the corpse for a quick buck. The thing that made KFC special wasn't the blend of herbs and spices (that they don't even fucking use anymore and you used to be able to buy ready mixed at the shops) it was the new innovative cooking technique that they immediately tossed in the trash because it was cheaper to just throw it all in a deep frier like everyone already did.

Two questions: If it's only tritrium why does anyone really care? Why couldn't they just sell it rather than dump it?
I thi k I just realised those questions both have the same answer...
If all the food in my fridge is warm I don't immediately assume my electricity has been cut off rather than something is wrong with my fridge.
If it's anywhere near that long you should see a doctor.
I really don't understand why it's such a common confusion. None of these people struggle with the difference between their gas supply and their oven.
AFAIK whilst some creatives do fully conceptualise the work in their heads then set out to externally reproduce it, the more normal approach is to have a less complete notion and then create something via the process. IE, a musician might have a melody in their head but then they will play it on the instrument and experiment with different variations and accompaniments to see what sounds good and build on it that way, rather than sit and think of an entire piece based on that, then play it out loud.
I did write a lengthy (nice) response to try to better articulate my own subjective experience for comparison so we could continue to try to better understand one another but then I kinda just lost faith in the idea...
Do you possibly speak more than one language to any degree? If you think of the words "yes" and "oui" (yes in French), there must be some difference in what you experience inside your mind despite the meaning being the same. So what is different between the two subjective experiences for you?
Wrong. The real question is why do we presuppose that the output of creatively driven individuals must generate profit for a capitalist economy to have sufficient value that those people be permitted the basic necessities of life? Frankly I suspect most of our most valuable contributors to culture are never given the opportunity to be bad enough long enough to develop into their potential.
This whole "oh no, AI is going to take away our liveihoods" notion fundamentally accepts the false notion that people are only deserving of a functional life so long as the primary activities of that life is ultimately to contribute towards increasing the wealth of a tiny percentage of individuals.
It's the same mistake that leads us to massively undersupport educators and carers and will have people freaking out about how they'll "earn a living" once robots are able to do everything we practically require to be done.
People are fundamentally entitled to a living. If someone is being denied one, then look at the system that causes that not the specifics of that particular flavour of how it's happening.
But, for you to put the words in "in the right order" they must take some sort of descreet experiential form.
It's a troll account. They're intentionally making bootlicking comments everywhere to get a rise from people.
It's not about more reusable hardware it's about software being constrained to support existing hardware rather than ditch it to save a fee bucks on development.
