Joe Rogan is so god damned stupid I’m surprised he can drink from the right end of a glass.

I was in college, fresh out of high school. I started learning PHP that year. I think I was working at One Stop Systems, a company that produces enterprise PCIe equipment.
I was still using Windows at that point, and I would switch to Linux the next year.
If it’s from a good friend, maybe twenty minutes. If it’s from an acquaintance, maybe five minutes. If it’s from a stranger, I’m not gonna watch it unless I find the subject very interesting.
You’re thinking of countries that call themselves communist, but aren’t actually communist. A truly communist society is stateless and classless, and doesn’t exist today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_society
Arguably, states that are trying to achieve a communist society can use fascism to achieve it, but that has never happened and likely never will, because the kind of people who want to operate a fascist society don’t ever have communism as their end goal.
It’s also not ridiculous to think that a communist society will never exist, because there are just too many societal power imbalances to ever truly achieve it.
This mostly only happens to companies with outside investors, and it’s in order to make the investors happy.
Companies owned privately by one or a handful of people who all just want the company to keep going, make a decent profit, and be sustainable, don’t always exhibit the “need for growth” behavior.
It’s usually because the investors don’t really give a shit about the company or its mission, they just want money. Often this kind of “need for growth” bullshit is just short term growth, since that’s what most investors care about. It stifles the company’s ability to plan for long term growth and make the right decisions to achieve it.
Real answer: because the CEO is the figurehead of the company. An AI can do exactly what a CEO can do except actually interacting with people. So the only necessary and “irreplaceable” job of the CEO is to meet with people and get them to make a deal or invest or whatever.
That being said, I don’t think there’s any job an LLM can replace a human for. Human’s aren’t hired as next word predictors. Even the CEO has more to their decision making job than making decisions. Knowing what decisions to make is something the AI can’t do alone.
CEOs are overpaid though. Their jobs aren’t hard and mostly what determines their success is luck.
Hmm. That’s a good idea.
Ok, let’s start by getting rid of Gmail and Outlook (Live, Exchange, whatever they’re calling it now).
May I invite you to https://port87.com/, which I just fully launched a couple weeks ago, and plead with you to use your own domain name to prevent vendor lock-in.
Blatant partisanship instead of helping Americans. woo. 🙄😒
No. It’s true that our DNA degrades (loses telomere length) as we age, but that doesn’t affect us until way later in age.
Don’t auto update. Read the release notes before you update things. Sometimes you have to do some things manually to keep from breaking things.
For most of those services, you’re looking at a few days to assemble and set up a server. For email, plan to spend the next month learning and troubleshooting.
You can run all of that on basically any computer. If you have an old desktop, that would work great.
Email often isn’t possible to self host because many ISPs block outbound connections on port 25. But, you can host it on some VPS providers, like DigitalOcean. The IP they give you will almost certainly have a terrible reputation and result in a lot of your mail going into people’s spam folders. So, you’ll have to spend some time contacting IP blacklist providers.
Another option is to host the inbound SMTP servers, and handle outbound through a relay server. I’m not gonna recommend any, because I’m not too familiar with them.
I know a fair bit about running email services, because I created and run https://port87.com/, a fairly new email service. I had to learn a lot about email to build it.
