What the fuck is the point of any of this.

We know that techbros and oligarch are profiting from polymarket to make money from tragedies.

Thankfully, according to this: https://polymarket.com/event/iran-nuke-before-2027, the odds of Iran receiving a nuclear bomb today is "only" 9%

This is the 'most hope' I can share.....

I'm already at my wit's end for many reasons, but I really can't deal with this.

And everything I fixed they have wrecked with LLM psychosis and general incompetence.

Shouting into the abyss and staring into the void would have a more positive impact on the world.

Blah blah profits, but when I see systems getting decommissioned, or updated, or reconfigured based on my feedback, it feels like I’m helping the overall health of the Internet.

I just also happen to be a marketing tool.

I'm here to get paid, and produce a positive impact at the same time, hopefully.

Its wild to see things you wrote on a wing a prayer, and half a screen shot of a web request end up in malware sandboxes globally.

At the moment all we can do is focus on what we can control, you know?

And I think when you've been living that lie this long, you believe it yourself and now nothing is your fault, everything is somebody else's, and somehow you are simultaneously in control of everything yet responsible for nothing.
