When we say “tech guys need the humanities too” we’re not talking about diluting the pool of Linus Torvalds with underwater basket weavers, we’re talking about arming them with enough literacy to comprehend Sci-Fi in a way that doesn’t get them sued by Scarlett Johansson

Wait...you need literacy to understand "I don't want to be the voice of your technology" means that and not "make a fake version of voice anyways for the technology"? I'm not patronizing that GitHub Ivy League dumb dumb. He knew, he thought he'd get away with it.

As someone who weaves and does tech, it's a fucking asset, if only to be able to use a loom which is a proto computer in a way the tech bros will never understand.

I found it interesting that Musk apparently loves Iain Bank's Culture series and has named his drone ships after the books, but he has not yet realized that they represent a utopian communist society. Maybe a better humanities literacy would have helped.

The entire history of art, music, and literature isn’t enough to turn a techbro into a moral person. The rest of us learned that stealing is wrong back in kindergarten.

Uh, the “underwater basket weaving” was actually mocking something worth studying, both from a sociology standpoint and one of material science. You have to soak reeds to make them pliable for indigenous basket construction.

I don't know if y'all have read the headlines, but Sam altman thinks that operating the easy he does will attract *trillions* of dollars in investments. There is nothing in the whole of existence that you could do that would make him give a fuck about any of the stuff you think he should

But we’re also talking about getting the Linuses and Stallmans and Musks and Thiels et al into remedial social-emotional learning to bring them up from sociopathic assholes to generic assholes.
