In what world are landowners not hurt the most by SF turning into cyberpunk bedlam?

The one where they can insulate themselves from said cyberpunk bedlam by fleeing to the 'burbs (or forcing the poors out instead via gentrification), building gated communities/complexes, hiring private security, receiving preferential treatment from law enforcement, etc. That worked for a century-ish, but it was never sustainable - and the landed class has a vested interest in doubling-down on that strategy instead of admitting that maybe - just maybe - private exclusive ownership of a natural resource with inelastic supply might be the primary driver of socioeconomic inequality (and with it, crime).

They got sold by the original owner(the guy who did the North Korea doc). He went to hang out on Rogan and then faded into the background.

To who?

When its Americans, its 'reputation' when its anyone else its 'stereotyping'.

But how would that be accomplished? (Genuinely asking, not doubting) For all of the cynicism, security theatre does serve an actual non-inane purpose.

Would the world be better off without MAD?

The tech hardware industry generally has terrible marketing. Look at laptop SKUs. None of them are effective at delineating product tiers in an easy to understand way. Even Apple post-Jobs is bad at this: wtf is an air vs pro vs just 'mac' or 'macbook'? What in the hell is an ultra max?

As someone who keeps tabs on the products I can pretty quickly get an intuition for what they mean, but the semantics do no favors. They're just placeholders for 'better' and 'best' when used in various combinations. But once you stop labeling the base model (such as plainly 'Macbook') you're not qualifying what the marketing term is trying to convey (what is it 'better' than?). 'Air' as opposed to...? 'Pro' compared to...a product you no longer sell? 'Ultra' or 'Plus' for phones but 'Pro' for desktop OSs?

If you tried to chart out the marketing terms used in the tech hardware industry it would look like the Always Sunny Charlie Conspiracy meme.

Its a lot like movie studios making sequels without subtext or numbers to have a 'cleaner' title.

Really bizarre practice that doesn't actually make it easier for the consumer, as the year of release becomes the number instead.

Could it be a result of the manufacturing process? To my layman understanding, not all silicon is created equal.

There has been an increasing laymanization of philosophy by academics who should know better. Harari is teleological technobabble personified.

Seriously. I feel like we’re weeks away from “This is the ONE Vegetable that Hegel is BEGGING you to Cut Out Of Your Diet!” being published in The Atlantic or whatever
