Capitalism is a funny thing, because GenAI/LLM technology is considered successful not because of what it does, but because of its ability to attract venture capitalist investors

My crystalizing moment when I realized NFTs and crypto were bullshit was a GaryVee interview years back where he argued NFTs would allow people to have a permanent keepsake of seeing a live band at a small show before they got big that you could resell.

That's a ticket. You just described a ticket.

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

Paper tickets for everything, now.

I am so dreadfully sick of every ticket app, team app, stadium app. All you late-stage “optimize!” capitalists can kiss my perineum.

Paper tickets, now.
