I have the impression apple had an internal fight about the goggles with years of rumors tamping down expectations It's in contrast with meta and the metaverse where you can tell everyone was trying to get paid for as long as they could before zuckerberg realized it was poo poo Same thing with the universe of consultants that are helping Saudi Arabia with NEOM

Zuck spent a lot of money buying out the names of a dozen other companies because it turns out Meta is a popular phrase to use in your business's name

Another one said the same about the Japanese a little later, I think. Rich English people go around the world naming layabouts of everyone who isn’t making them, personally, any money.

Nobody has ever wanted to work, ever, in all of history, because working loving sucks, and tech weirdos are aberrations and were the type of cavemen who would have been really into astrology and megaliths instead of sucking+loving between hunts. Like "if u aren't moving the big boulders after the sun goes down you'll never get anywhere in life" weirdos

work owns when you have control over what you do, how you do it, and who you do it for. maybe we could build a society based on that.

yeah I disagree with the notion that people in general don't like to work. It's definitely not universal, there are people who are genuinely content to "do nothing" all day - more power to them. But it is my experience, personally and from observations, that people want their work to be meaningful. And in order for it to have that meaning, they cannot be a completely alienated cog in a machine. It doesn't matter if they're making a medicine that saves people's lives or fake rubber dogshit, if they have been told over and over again that everything from their wages to their thoughts on how to make the process better are not something that Matter, they're gonna take that to heart and not give a poo poo about the work.

The Jeep Wrangler is the best selling plug-in hybrid vehicle in the country, by a mile. https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-jeep-wrangler-4xe-was-americas-best-selling-plug-in-hybrid-in-2022 It goes less than half as far per kWh as pretty much any other EV, and gets less than 20mpg highway driven with gas.

buying a $70k truck to drive back and forth to a desk job every day also this is the same guy who said "there's more dignity in driving a go-kart than a smart car". I'm sorry, but this was a particularly aggressive case of carbrain. If we'd caught it sooner we may have mad more options, but I'm afraid there's nothing we can do but make him comfortable in a new 2024 Jeep Rubicon

The first time I saw one of these was at the end of a desert jeep trail after a jeep club had finished a drive. All the drivers of old fashioned jeeps with dents and diamond plate welded over the corners and upside down "if you can read this flip me over" bumper stickers were laughing and filling their tires back up to freeway pressure. The one guy with the brand new 4-door was just standing there mortified, staring at the spot where a shrub branch had put a scrape into his paint.
