73. Delusional Nonsense

Humans adapt to survive..
That said, as a highly educated, mediocre female scientist and feminist impacted precisely in those ways, who has no quarrel with working class men, I take an indulgent view this sort of sleazy and sad puffery by Alex Kaarp etc.

But the lack of survival instincts in these guys is scarier. And if this is a highly educated female, its part of the problem up top that these are the female counterparts of guys like Karp:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rana_el_Kaliouby

They can both go to hell. Fair and balanced! I have no respect for those women or for Joy Buolamwini. They can fuck right off along with Marc Andreessen, Paul Singer, the Koch brothers etc. I don’t respect Clare Wu, Priscilla Chan, Sheryl Sandberg, Lucy Guo etc anymore than those men.

Fei Fei Li is the best of that type I would have to grudgingly acknowledge. At least she is a real scientist if she stops the “human caring” bullshit. But Affectiva is just bs and using the web of life for better weapons and misguided early warning systems etc is just obscene and alarming.

I came back to India permanently after seeing the world bullshit elites love (though I vaguely think France would be a cool place to briefly visit, but my work has been derailed too completely for me to plan)..I love it here as there are so many brainless creeps to report to the uncorrupted parts of the state.

I saw a piece by two IIT professors years ago: “Trai please stop Facebook’s free basics”.
Couldn’t agree more, but that applies just as much to indigenous parasites like Ambani as it does to Zuckerberg.

Actually, as I grudgingly changed my mind on John Hennessy, I am changing mine on Prof. Fei Fei Li. The caring crap is cloying and fake. But this is an emergency and it is all about survival and she is a scientist and not stupid.
Alex Karp is a child who needs a nurse maid.
