the tech industry is about to invent books

@MattBinder I have one. Video games that have puzzles to solve.

@MattBinder Only if they can gamify them and charge $16.95 a month for each one.

@MattBinder so the analogy wasn't examined? quelle surprise

"modern work" aka this person's idea of it which involves no physical exertion, is distinct from "intellectual work", which requires understanding and domain knowledge (the same things physical labor benefits from)

and both require DOING THE THING to do it well?

and we need mental gyms to keep ourselves vital rather than just understanding what we're doing, in its context?

fuckin' dickhead got sold on "white collar work"

@MattBinder @Edelruth I wonder what they’ll do with the tunnels with cars that seat many people when those people have nowhere to go.

@MattBinder It might be too late for the ruling class.

For lots of reasons.

@MattBinder

If this guy thinks jobs don't require physical labour he's further gone than I thought they could be

[jbrownesq@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder but someone as psychopathic as to steal human knowledge, art, culture, paywall it, and try to sell it back to us per the minute, isnt going to create books or healthy learning environments.

"Gyms for brains" likely means working for free, training additional "AI" models with your grey matter, or being indoctrinated into greater self destructive lifestyle choices by way of dopamine-stimulating tech hamster wheels.

Reverse Centaur gone insane.

@MattBinder

Has a techbro *ever* opened a history book?

[cross@discuss.systems]

@MattBinder just wait until they reinvent libraries!

[lmorchard@masto.hackers.town]

@MattBinder brb, going to buy up every copy of Brain Age for the Nintendo DS and corner the market before the bros get there

[sakhavi@aoir.social]

@MattBinder @fabio thank God, somebody seems to have burned all the pre-existing ones. I’m sure the tech ones will be better, if anything

[thankfulmachine@oldbytes.space]

@MattBinder are these people even conscious

[philsciprof@mastodon.online]

@MattBinder

I’m pretty sure that dude’s brain has already atrophied far beyond fixing in a brain gym

[slatsgrobnik@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder they're called libraries

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@MattBinder

How do we get dibs on the influencer culture?

[screwturn@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder
As a writer, I'm very much in favour of someone stuffing a bowl of eels down that guy's trousers

[benhm3@mastodon.social]

@MattBinder

We have always had them, they’re called “museums.”

[letsbeworms@brain.worm.pink]

@dank @MattBinder

clearly andrew needs to hit the brain gym
