Technology

The overwhelming majority of software ever written is fucking terrible and causes more problems than it solves.

Since software is easily copiable and mutable, that small sliver of good software gets replicated all over the place and serves as a foundation for other software, both good -- and at the risk of repeating myself -- and mostly bad.

People would be better off considering new tech as the tool it is rather than seeing every piece of software as inherently better than the thing it replaces.

I mean, it can. US projects a lot of its influence from its technology dominance, but AI has the potential of turning that mountain of an advantage into a molehill, and the thing about AI that investors don't want to admit is that it reaches a performance ceiling, so investing more into it might be good for the short term, not so good for the long-term. Unfortunately, it's still going to savage through salaries and job availability - but this also affects the biggest economies more than it does the lesser ones. Crypto, AI, tech is at least helping the technological Silicon Valley hegemony shoot itself in the foot.

Ah look, it’s in Antwerp. Wolstraat to be exact.i used to work in front of that place.

Something, something, the industrial revolution and its consequences...
