  • I suspect to lead a good life you need one or more unobtainable goals to work towards like trying to be a virtuous person, provide and support mutual aid in your community, pursuit of aesthetics in art or truth in philosophy or athletics in sport etc. From those goals developing hobbies, education, skills, etc in pursuit of those goals become directed and purposeful.

    I think you also need short term goals to stay motivated and functioning like chores, working, maintaining friendships and relationships, etc. But without the larger goals the smaller stuff can feel meaningless and without the smaller goals the larger stuff can feel exhausting.






  • There are some basic responsibilities they need to meet like not violating copyright and licensing on source material creating a double standard where corp slop can pirate without charges but individuals can’t and building and running data centers that aren’t in conflict with the community they are running in. They also should have warnings about anthropomorphizing language models that don’t think or reason but I’d settle for the first two to start.

    As usual it’s not the technology that’s the problem, it’s the dumbass way it’s implemented in a profit motive
