Besides, as everyone in both Silicon Valley *and* the Valley of the Damned knows, just shipping is so much more important than what you ship. https:\/\/thread.choomba.one\/thread?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmastodon.social%2F%40jimray%2F110792901356804895<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shards of an aesthetic, like the weird Art Nouveau-ish t-shirt worn by the girl at the youth club, the truncated roar of \u201cSilver Machine\u201d coming from the open door of a pub, a friend\u2019s older brother\u2019s odd-smelling bedroom, all pointing to the existence of this thing: #hawkwind<\/a> https:\/\/wearethemutants.com\/2021\/02\/09\/left-a-galaxy-of-dreams-behind-joe-banks-hawkwind-days-of-the-underground\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The #ai<\/a> community has altogether too many people who just see the potentiality and aren\u2019t willing to think about risks and responsibility.
