Old pinned picture from my old (now abandoned) twitter that I really wanted to keep here.

Tried my best to fit all the sayings and remarks in the alt text, but had to cut some of it to fit in 1500 characters.

Ask yourself this: will fares in self-driving cabs be cheaper? Will subscriptions to vibe-coded SaaS cost less? Will tickets to see model-generated movies be a fraction of the current price?

Or do all these technologies just solve the problem of having to pay people, with no benefit to anyone else except shareholders?

And then ask yourself this: if nobody's getting paid, who's hailing the taxis, using the SaaS and watching the movies?

Hot take: Full disk encryption should only be enabled on a computer with informed consent from its user and along with multiple very simple instructions on how to recover it in an emergency, and only allowed if mandatory automatic off-device backups are configured
