My preferred solution is UBI. It redistribute wealth without interesting with the self-organizing aspects of the market that have given use the wealth in the first place. Alternatively we could go for a more robust safety net like you find in much of Europe. I take issue though with the overhead it creates for both…

Let’s solve the distribution problem instead of prohibiting productivity gains!

This! It’s the normal outcome of automation. The problem isn’t AI, the problem is that we don’t have UBI. If we’d take the productivity gain for the next 10-20 years and share it as UBI, all the concerns that would be left are actually AI specific in the vein of Eliezer Yudkowsky’s warnings about AI killing us. The AI…

I keep hearing this, but having started the game earlier this year and being ~90 hours in, I do’t understand the criticism. There was an article hear recently criticizing the game, but the author had skipped most side quests. Is that your criticism as well? I thought there was so much strong story and characters…

I had been really excited about games getting ray tracing and then was a little disappointed when I had it because it didn’t come close to my expectations. Now this looks like what I expected. I’m quite upset though that they called the original ray tracing, “ray tracing” and not something more honest like “limited…

Wait, we aren't getting a season that resolves the stuff happening on the planets beyond the worm holes? Woah!

How does this compare to their other expensive shot show Wheel of Time? Seems very similar in it's success.

Oh the memories of corpse explosion when D2 first came out. It was so OP and so fun!

The disk swapping is a main reason I started buying everything digitally. The other half for me though is that amazon used to give $10 off on pre-orders. I used to get games I really wanted that way as physical copies. Now the physical copy mostly has downsides to me. I pretty much ignore my physical collection now,…

To me the worst posts of Wind Waker at the time were quite different.

Their market is actually going away though. Much hype is going to indy games these days which often don’t have any physical release. Even for AAA games that have physical releases, there is probably a large portion moving to digital. Meanwhile service games aren't helping either. Maybe I buy Destiny at GameStop, but…

Lol, how well does it run on Steamdeck?

Is there a trick for getting into Majora’s Mask? I bought it for 3DS ages ago. I spent maybe 2-3  hours with it but just didn't make any progress. Is there something specific to investigate that might help get me on track?

So strange that these aren't on sale in the Nintendo eShop

I 100% agree the banks shouldn’t have been bailed out and some economists agree. That however, isn’t a problem with capitalism, but regulatory capture. The solution to that isn’t to give more power to regulators to interfere like that.

“In capitalist systems: ALL things naturally bend toward monopoly.”

I only learned about him because he was on the Lex Friedman podcast. I watched a few of his videos after. They are very high production value and indeed do some interesting stuff. The tone is still childish streamer behavior which I strongly dislike, but things like reenacting Squid Game or random challenges for big…

There are definitely cases where we see market failure. This tends to happen around things where monopolies almost want to exist naturally (examples: ISPs because laying landline is very expensive, airplane routes that aren’t very busy/ competitive) or when we aren’t pricing in externalities like pollution.
