because they have a solid reputation for never listening to those millions.

Specifically, if you volunteer to moderate, create content, or build community on Reddit, you will be insulted and dismissed by people who are only in it for the money.

It feels raw and real, vs reddits polished curated feel. As if I'm actually reading posts by people.

Because on reddit we were reading posts by bots.

Apparently it's called "The New Governess" but that's all I've been able to figure out:

There was an article in Foreign Policy a couple days ago talking about how China's WeChat is the only real Everything App, but it was a product of a very specific time and place.

The conclusion is that there's not likely to be another Everything App. I'm still thinking that over, but it sounds plausible.

AI has gone through several cycles of hype and winter. There's even a Wikipedia page for it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_winter

Of course it's valuable to discuss the dangers and inequities of a new technology. But one of the dangers is being misled.

also where is a good place to get physical books from at a discount?

In the US, most public libraries have collections of everything you mentioned (including manga). Also, a lot of libraries have bookstores where they sell donations and old books from their collections. Reference librarians are great people to talk to for book recommendations.

He's not even rich AF. I mean, he's definitely richer than I am, but he's not Bezos-level rich. He sold out his one good creation, had thousands of people doing millions of dollars of free work for him, is a tech CEO, and betrayed the people who believed in him, just to become moderately wealthy. Sad!
