Never Be Wannbe

The “conversation” around Alysa Liu after the Winter Olympics was so odd and a great example of what occurs when you allow women’s neuroticism and instrasexual competition to go off the rails with no checks.

Average Man: Wow, she’s awesome and seems like a great person. She’s cute, funny, happy and seems like she might be fun to be around.

Screeching “Feminist:” WHY ARE YOU SEXUALIZING HER? Why are you obsessed with sex? It’s all you ever think about!

Average Man: Who said anything about sex? I just think she seems like a neat person, one you could really talk to.

Screeching “Feminist:” It’s sex all the time with you men! All you ever talk about!

Average Man: Someone is obsessed with sex here, but it’s definitely not me.

Of course, deep down, a lot of those American “feminists” know they are terrible people and that no one wants to be around them; their romantic prospects are dim because they are mentally ill, won’t get help with managing it, and take their self-inflicted maladies out on the world. And the remarkable thing is that (other than being delightfully amazing at figure skating) Alysa just seems like the average American girl from 30-40 years ago before 80% of women went absolutely fucking nuts.

They loathe her because she’s everything they will never be.

No, they have no idea how fucking clownishly stupid they sound because most of the people spouting nonsense are from the “philosophy is useless” crowd.

Predictably — because philosophy is ineluctably tied into anything we humans do — they start attempting to use philosophy when they need to rely on it, but have no tools to do so. Utter garbage then spews out.

Kub Scouts

Kubernetes as a project is a reification of developer indecisiveness and incompetence

Sysadmin types generally don’t write much software, but the equivalent in our space would be some poorly-maintained unreadable 2,000 line batch file written in 2002 and still being used today.

Kubernetes is what you get when devs get their wish list and then can avoid responsibility or accountability.

AI Lie

Yet economists (emphasis on the “con”) have insisted that AI is having no impact on the job market.

Which is bullshit. Some of it is of course offshoring and outsourcing. But even that is amplified by AI. Now, a marginal employee in India can be more productive with AI at still 1/5 the cost.

Economists are just morons.
