  • Meh, it gets a bit unsettling and empty when you get into your 40s. At least it did for me. We had a kid (much) later in life and I’m glad we did. We had our DINK fun in our 30s, and I still long for those days sometimes. But having a kid is like filling a hole you didn’t realize you had. And there are moments of joy and bonding that are simply indescribable.

    Anyway, to each their own.


  • Mr. Musk explained that his plan was to colonize Mars to escape overpopulation and other dangers on Earth. Dr. Hassabis replied that the plan would work — so long as superintelligent machines didn’t follow and destroy humanity on Mars, too.

    Mr. Musk was speechless. He hadn’t thought about that particular danger. Mr. Musk soon invested in DeepMind alongside Mr. Thiel so he could be closer to the creation of this technology.

    I can’t believe these are grown men talking like this.


  • This is spot on. The article misses the mark by blaming it on a generational shift, but it really is enshitification and the pursuit of profit over people.

    It used to be common to attend weddings where the couple met online. We have several friends and relatives that met on Match years ago and who are still happily married.

    Now I hear from friends that dating apps are god-awful if you’re looking for a meaningful relationship with someone. These apps exist only to appease their shareholders by squeezing money out of people.
