I could use them as a provider if they shown concrete price per token. Or concrete number of tokens in each plan. Now I don't know what I would rent from them. If I were to buy hell knows what, I would go to Anthropic.

Another almost good phone without a mini jack :( User-replaceable battery, SD card port, mini jack, touchscreen that works consistently. Do I really ask for that much?

Every time I consider renting a service from Anthropic, they drop such bomb. Full capability with pre-agreed price per token and no ID verification. That's what I demand.

I rented two apartments and it was quite stable each time. Normal breakdowns happened, but they were repaired on the owner's cost. They now serve people who live there now.

I won't criticise actual parents - these are their children, their decision, their responsibility and their either regrets or appreciation later. That is a trade-off and they will see in about 20 years whether it was worthwhile. Even not having children I know parenting is difficult (I just remember how hard it was for my parents). However I definitely appreciate that I was allowed to wander through my town (in central Europe) when I was a child/teenager. Moreover - I regret being so afraid of everything and not exploring more. Maybe it was a time to have that fear so that I could overcome it in later stages of life. Maybe.

To be a devil's advocate - maybe lower frequency of crimes against children is a result of that red tape? Or maybe not. I don't know.

Very interesting. Observations from 3 and 4 seem to contradict each other. In 3 author claims that previously we had to "soften" our views due to social pressure of people in our vicinity (room, street, city...). This moderated both us and people we interacted with. Now we often stumble upon virtual place with people of similar world views, where the society does not force us to self-moderate.

In 4 however the author claims that previously we could say certain things that we can't say now, due to social pressure.

And I certainly can confirm it. At the same time extreme world views are more pronounced (echo chambers in social media) and people lose their jobs because they said something "wrong". What causes these seemingly opposite changes to occur at once? Did we just lose ability to discuss things in civilized manner due to lack of...well, discussions in the isolated internet groups? Are we so far from each other that we replaced normal human talks with diplomatic relations, as we represent different echo chambers, despite living and working together? Maybe that previous self-moderation gave some room for discussion because we could assume our interlocutor at least had common problems and interests with us?

Thanks for sharing this book. I'm only at chapter (or "piece" as the author calls it) and already have something to think about.

Now. When my company got double-dilberted (eaten by bigger company that got eaten by even bigger one) and became corporate bullshit. When the whole world goes Dilbert. Very bad news.
