    The entire tech industry is just a casino for VCs and they're gambling with the future of all life on earth

      this yeah, tech is addicted to the level of growth it used to have and its hit a ceiling for actual usefulness so now its going to be all crypto/nfts/ai until time ends

        I wonder if it hit this ceiling because there are no more public projects being developed (personal computer, internet etc.) that it could privatize and profit off of and now we're seeing these shitty solution driven technologies that aren't solving any real problems

          That's the problem with privatizing everything: you can no longer steal from the commons.

            The push for space exploration makes a lot of sense

            Too absurd for words, really lmao

            Most people think, “Wow space exploration to learn about the deepest and most hidden secrets of our universe to advance our collective knowledge? Of course I’m down for that !”

            And Wall Street ghouls and porky-happy just see another way to make the line go up.
