  1. I fundamentally agree with this way of thinking about the current state of the tech industry. There are problems to be solved, but the big paradigm shift everyone is looking for is not going to be found any time soon. @urbnscl/1578442393044414464

      Is it "the Metaverse", is it "XR", is it machine learning? No. There's cool stuff to be done in all of these fields... but the problems normal people need solving are not as large as capital's desire for tech to eat the world again.

        It has already been eaten, please go away and make some better batteries. (capital does not like this answer because making better batteries turns out to be quite hard, and eating the world turned out to be quite easy)
