His Spook Country trilogy is pretty great too. Didn’t read the peripheral one maybe in the future.

I have a collector edition 😅

Worked in school. One of the teachers gave a paper to be signed by the parent at a kid because he didn’t tie his shoes, which was ridiculous because he didn’t have time to get out of his winter clothes.

Wow! The enshitification of LLM comes quicker than what I would believe

Scratch the part in my back that I cannot reach

False dichotomy. First not all athletes are paid « astronomically ». That’s only a particular subset and in very particular exposures. The reason they makes millions is because they makes billions for the team’s owner. Now this owners use their billions to ensure that the world continues that way.

Second athletes have normally a really really short career vs. Doctor. They mortgage their bodies (and their mental sanity) in a 10 years period and are unable to work very well after that if your salary don’t represent that their no point in doing it and the owner will not make money.

All in all. Athletes are workers (with some benefit) like us and should be seen as such. The real grinch are the owners

Because you don’t want to see it at work
