@lessin's theory of the era, delivered while four people compare sleep scores on a podcast: "If you want to understand our era, looking back on our years, we are entertaining ourselves to death. This is the most entertaining business cycle in the history of the world." His point is that AI turns out to be extremely good at entertainment, so everything now organizes around producing the most entertaining version of events. Including the AI doom discourse itself. @davemorin's line is the sharpest one in the segment: longevity age scores are the doom tourism of health apps. Then Sam, on the app scores: "Aura is kind of reasonable because they're selling you some semblance of reality. And Eight Sleep is the most self-congratulatory." @brit : "Okay, now Eight Sleep's dumb. I don't believe any of this." Dave: "Once Brit's losing, she just stops playing the game."
