Soulless Drones

From an interview with techbro Patrick Collison, co-founder of Stripe:


What the hell? "I don't want to have to spend the time to [watch the show/read the book/listen to the opera], just tell me what happens." Like life is a book report to be cheated on by reading the Cliffs Notes.
"I don't want to actually eat the steak dinner, it takes too long and feels like just a waste of time, so I take two vitamin pills and ask my Agentic AI for a summary of what wagyu tastes like."
What a bunch of shallow, plastic, soulless goons these guys are.
