looks like he's giving incomprehensible soundbites for youtube channels whose videos get 75 views a month

"listen to Shingy's controversial thoughts on emerging tech platforms such as ChatGBT and more."

i have a soft spot for shingy, never read *that* much about what he had to say, but the classic "next *unfriending* will be the big deal" was simply correct, and not at all obvious at the time i think.

generally he was a bit of a modern version of victorian british lords having an unkempt philosopher in a cave on the property, mostly as a spectacle. gone back out of style, as now the people expounding random theories about technology are: full of themselves pretending they're doing science; and; way less interested in the actually relevant social aspects of it all.

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
idk, the "unfriending" thing was pretty obvious if you go with "things happen in cycles" and "what is the opposite of the current thing that is happening now?"

so compared to the tech press and the hype bubble at the time, absolutely visionary, but not some incredibly deep insight

i honestly wonder how much it is hindsight making you say that though. i might just be really stupid, but at the time i am pretty sure I viewed it as pure dumb contrarianism

but, either way, was kind of cool to have a semi-famous weird goblin who said such things
