- Comment on Amazon cloud platform and other websites experiencing outages 2 days ago:
I've never actually worked in tech, but I was a super early adopter spending a lot of times on BBSs and then usenet, IRC, telnet chats, designing web pages and doing graphics, flyers, icons, emojis and stuff for people I met online, and I've met a lot of super cool people for sure but it's all been virtual for the most part. It was so much fun in those earlier days when everyone was doing their own thing.

- Comment on Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future 2 months ago:
The world is going to be so boring when everyone is walking around with these things, even more oblivious and in their own worlds, with all the answers right there.

I'm not going to be a walking surveillance robot which is what I really feel is the end game with this crap, zero privacy.
