What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Oscar the Grouch as model/actress Susan Bottomly on the cover of Esquire Magazine.

quit your doomscrolling and open this [thread] of muppetized esquire magazine covers.

the screens are atrocious

There should be a ban on video ads. They're incredibly intrusive and distracting.

Poetry in Hypermotion: Stop Shoving Subway Poems Between Lottery Ads The MTA's ad screens allot just 15 seconds for poems displayed through the MTA's Poetry in Motion program. That's not enough time!!!

If a poem appears on a subway screen, but it's replaced by an advertisement before anyone reads it, was it ever really there in the first place?

Let me read the poems!!!

A hummingbird nest built on top of a bare branch which runs diagonally from upper left to lower right. The nest is comprised of white, cottony-looking material and lichen. The female rub-throated hummingbird is sitting in it, looking to the left, with her tail sticking up on the right.

If you don't like hummingbirds, tune me out for the next week or so! I was lucky to be tipped off on the location of a ruby-throated hummingbird nest. I will be posting a series of shots taken over about two and half weeks, starting with this one of momma sitting in her nest on June 16th #birds

on that note I can't find mine :<<<<<<<
