Because I don’t want to help them more than I do anybody else

My investments are done via an algorithm that I have no control over (by design). However, I’m more viewing the AI bubble as a potential match to light the powder keg that is the market more generally. I think the market (both domestically and internationally) feels, uh, shaky? Like the unrealized losses graph seems… bad? I don’t know enough about economics and the market to have a solid grasp on it to fully understand the implications, but like hundreds of times worse than 2008 does not strike me as a good place to be.

(with the implication that they’re roughly equal amounts of benefits, ofc)
because like

okay but like. do you Care More about them

like why are they your loved ones if not that. convention?

this is both a genuine and rhetorical question

By “close to me” in this specific definition I mean physically close to me, by the way, like “in my town” or whatever. It’s still, like, probably ~true if we’re talking people who I know, but like

well yea but a stranger isn’t the whole world

sorry this is fucking baffling to me.

Yeah to be clear my criticism here isn’t about, like, people caring about their loved ones more htan others, that’s very natural, most people think this way, it’d be silly to complain. My complaint is when people philosophically present that as The Ultimate Good and lacking it as Evil

very much a conflicting worldviews moment

yeah love is just a nice bonus what mattters is how you treat the world around you

iirc AI is a pretty big amount chunk the revenue coming out of AWS. I’d personally avoid amazon if you’re wanting to avoid the speculative AI bubble. Problem is basically every big tech stock has been pumped by AI speculation

(I’m more bearish on the market as a whole and not just AI lol)

When “I care about benefiting and supporting specifically My Community and The People Around Me” is also a force that makes people, like, racist, like it’s not an inherently good drive, it’s a pretty neutral one,
