I know that crowd's politics are ultra-reactionary, and yet it's still fascinating just how few ideas the tech revanchists have that aren't "this thing is bad and should be rolled back". Do they have any ideas developed from socially acceptable principle at all?
Is this stuff deliberately written to be word salad?
I was definitely hoping it would be some kind of fascinating non-obvious catch. I think this thread is teaching me that often it's just the usual everyday buttcoin catch.
Have an upvote.
Are we keeping a list of things that refute CEO worship? Here's an item for the list.
I haven't paid that much attention to the software and platforms behind all this. Now that you mention it, yes, they are all products not underlying technologies. A bit like if somebody was a Zeus web server admin versus AOL web server admin without anybody being just a web server admin. Or like if somebody had to choose between Windows or Solaris without just considering operating systems.
Then again, what with all the compute and storage and ongoing development needed I'm not convinced that AI currently can be a gratis (free as in beer) thing in the same way that they just hand out web servers.
I haven't read the book but the article is definitely in the list.
Edit: Wait, turns out I had another article in the list. I will add this one above.
"If you've ever wondered about the Libertarian response to having one's neighbours killed by bears, it's about halfway down this article."

The sheer comedy of libertarians rules-lawyering international law for their intermittently flooded microstate though. As opposed to, say, using free contracts between individuals.
Now I have another example of libertarianism for my list if I actually need to talk about libertarianism instead of just point and laugh.
I think you've nailed it.
Found a startup, get paid C-level salaries for a few years, exit or not, repeat.
Regardless of what he did, it was a very annoying way to teach the world that there are these people called systems administrators who have all the access to everything and all the passwords besides. That was a very irritating year at work. "Yes, how did you think I was able to answer all those questions you keep asking," and other replies to questions about access privs.
