    Yeah, I hate how assholes like donnie are wanting to cash in. So very very much. I remain hopeful about its practical applications in many fields - and they are there, in spite of what many haters say. I hate that the focus seems to be about how many jobs we can “disrupt” or destroy based on stolen works (code, art, books). I’m so very sick of what it’s doing to the IT world in which I work. Instead, it could have been mostly about trying to supercharge scientific and technology endeavors, and mostly that. Instead, the oligarchs seem to be aiming it at stealing the jobs of creatives.

    We desperately need someone smart and informed on the matter with a big platform that can split the difference. People like donnie and musk ain’t it but because one is in the WH and the other has too much money, we get to listen to their “thoughts” on the matter.
