Number my sorrows,
will you ?
And measure them.
One comes and
the next one
rivals it.

  • That has always struck me as a bad hot take.

    One of my closeted racist family members love to ask “Who is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci ?” to make some sort of claim to both his da Vinci’s genius and the implied lack of genius to Africans.

    And the answer is Leonardo da Vinci is Africa’s Leonardo da Vinci … and the only people trying to say otherwise is people trying to profit off of making up a difference.

    So I guess that I get it but also it is … I just think that it is a bad take.








  • But the thing that actually makes me sick—and the main reason I’m quitting—is the “Desperation Score.” We have a hidden metric for drivers that tracks how desperate they are for cash based on their acceptance behavior.

    If a driver usually logs on at 10 PM and accepts every garbage $3 order instantly without hesitation, the algo tags them as “High Desperation.” Once they are tagged, the system then deliberately stops showing them high-paying orders. The logic is: “Why pay this guy $15 for a run when we know he’s desperate enough to do it for $6?” We save the good tips for the “casual” drivers to hook them in and gamify their experience, while the full-timers get grinded into dust.

    can they be incarcerated ?

    could an A.I. robot be held responsible for a murder be held in a jail with its batteries topped off waiting for a trial ? would they get lawyers ?

    would they have first amendment rights ? what are search and seizure rights for A.I. ?

    could they perform abortions if they chose to ?

    will they get to vote ?

    we are not ready for any of it philosophically.
