  And it’s probably correct, but to put it in context, Stephen Hawking thought AGI was the greatest threat we will face in the not-to-distant future, and Daniel Schmachtenberger had pointed out that all the countries basically agree with this assessment, but (to synthesize both of our points), everyone is rushing to a future we nobody wants because it’s a 21st century tragedy of the Commons, is we don’t do it someone else will first…

  Best case scenario, great for one country, terrible for everyone else. Worst case scenario, bad for everyone.

  The thinking goes ‘if we don’t build Skynet first, then China will, so it’s better we be in charge of the Terminators…’

  One more year of dual-booting should be plenty of time to ween off the Windows teat.

  Dear capitalists,

  Would you kindly stop making things worse just to make your huge stacks of money bigger?

  Yeah, I use an old Dell optiplex micro running Zorin OS Lite, and watch all streaming services in my web browser.

  This gives the bonus of blocking ads on sites like YouTube or Roku.

  I use a Logitech wireless media keyboard with trackpad to control it. All hooked up to a dumb projector.

  Fun fact, my parents have an Amazon Fire TV, and Amazon pushed an update 2 months ago that made it always turn on to an ad page, and slowed down all the interactions to the point of being almost unbearable.

  Second fun fact: Vizio now makes more money selling access to advertisers than they make from selling tvs.

  I am constantly elated that I decided years ago to buy a used micro PC on eBay and install Linux on it as my streaming box.

  Fuck Roku, fuck Amazon, fuck Google, fuck Samsung, fuck Vizio.
