ascii_field finally noticed
that
trilema is back and
that subj is a recent post, l0l
nubbins`: i've got a friend who did some 3d modelling &
textures for
the Ender's Game movie
mircea_popescu: he was very weirded out of whole situation and bailed out of
the job << can we has detail ?
jurov: hahaha i for one did
the effort of pulling game dev/artist
to #eulora. he was very weirded out of whole situation and bailed out of
the job, i had
to compile stuff myself. i can't at all imagine him reacting
to some pole-stuck pulp
nubbins`: maybe when mp moves
to ulaan baatar, he can write "eulorum.org help wanted" on
the side of a camel and run it
through
town
nubbins`: i
think your analogy generator needs a
tune-up
mircea_popescu: but i appreciate
the "well since mom and dad filled
the fridge clearly
they have a responsibility
to explai nto me why i should get a job".
nubbins`: you're prob right about
the flyers
thing
nubbins`: well,
the saying goes: "naive in one area means naive in no others"
mircea_popescu: mno. i just answer
to random idiots derping on in here, because of a naive and perhaps misplaced notion
that
they'll learn something from
the experience.
nubbins`: if for no other reason
than
to pull some strips of cloth over
the naked lameness of it
nubbins`: it seems you do feel some urge
to justify what you've done
nubbins`: although since you've spent what, 20 minutes defending
this foolishness
ascii_field: mircea_popescu was
trying
to hire a level designer ?
ascii_field digs in logz in mostly-futile search of what
this whole
thing was about
mircea_popescu: you wish
to judge what i do, you'd god damned better have some footing
to stand on.
mircea_popescu: this is besides
the point. i am not held
to justify what i do
to you.
nubbins`: mp you know
the opposite because, what? some random chick
tells you "yeah
this is how people find work here"
nubbins`: for reasons which i cannot begin
to fathom, you seem
to not equate
these
two
things
ascii_field: thestringpuller: 'cost of
the software' ?!!!! ya
trying
to make me die of laugh ?
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller i don't want
to work with people who pay "for software" in
this sense anyway.
mircea_popescu: "no, i know
this because i can fit explanations ex post facto as well as alf used
to can"
thestringpuller: don't
think poor people are best adapted for working in 3DS Max/Maya given
the
time investment, plus
the cost of
the software.
nubbins`: i know
this because nobody bothered reading your ads
nubbins`: and i am saying
that you've gone
the polar opposite of "rounding up all
the 10k".
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i am saying
that if i rouded up all
the 10k or so computer art majors in
town and gave
them
the choice of paying me 100k in cash or dying in a fire
ascii_field: 'The Bitcoin community had a huge opportunity
to help shape ChangeTip into something beautiful
to use
to help bitcoin adoption forward, and largely has allowed negativity
to consume
this possibility.' << l0ltr0nic
nubbins`: what are you saying,
the
talent exists in b.a?
mircea_popescu: the argument here isn't
that some unrelated people are poor.
the argument here is
that
the very fucking people in question don't have fifty pesos.
nubbins`: you're struggling
to string a point
together here
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck does
that make a difference ? "because all people are people" ?
nubbins`: i don't
think you actually understand how many people in seoul make a living picking grubs out of
trees, boiling
them, and selling
them in little paper cups w/ a
toothpick
mircea_popescu: i don't
think you actually understand how poor
these people are.
mircea_popescu: sure makes
thinking one "self aware of
the world" a shithell of a heck easier.
nubbins`: i lived in seoul, 21mn people in metro area. know who's advertising on
the poles?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field whart do you mean not
true in ba! all places are
the same places! all peopel are really
the same as nubbins!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` ba is a city with more population
than
the whole country you live in omfg.
ascii_field: items which even
the fishwrap would not print
nubbins`: ascii_field mp doesn't realize
this
nubbins`: remember when you put up a bunch of flyers in b.a because it was
the only city within driving distance?
ascii_field: nubbins`: where i live, posters on
telephone poles are pretty much exclusively for classical scams (ponzi, 'sell house quick', 'work
to save
the earth!111', etc)
mircea_popescu: there exist people in
this world who are economically worthless because
they are argentines. giving
them an opportunity
to starve so as
to work for me, a guy
that isn't economically worthless for being argentine, is a -ev play for most and a +ev play for some.
nubbins`: remember when leah goodman chose dorian nakamoto because he was
the only satoshi within driving distance?
nubbins`: hey,
that's
the next best
thing
to actually claiming
that yr approach
to recruitment makes sense
assbot: Logged on 15-12-2015 18:50:16; mircea_popescu: ascii_field
thestringpuller allow me
to drag in
the stalin and other people's fat
thing.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`
this is where you notice
that you said something dumb and realise
that maybe
the other
things you said come from
the same place.
nubbins`: usa has a longer history
than canada, see where
that's got em
mircea_popescu: not
that
that particular stupidity is
too well related
to
the other stupidities.
mircea_popescu: taping shit
to a wall has a longer history
than canada.
nubbins`: "the people will notice it's not
the
turd it seems"
nubbins`: you don't get
to pretend
taping shit
to a wall makes sense.
nubbins`: you know mp is running out of patience when he gets
to "looky" and "you don't get"
mircea_popescu: looky, you don't get
to misrepresent what you hear on
the basis of how stupid
the parts of it
that you understood seemed
to you.
nubbins`: not because
taping a flyer
to a wall is
the shittest way of doing what you're
trying
to do
nubbins`: but again, keep
trying yr current approach
nubbins`: but nowhere approaches
talent recruitment with
this level of retardation
nubbins`: in fairness i've only been
to maybe a dozen countries
mircea_popescu: you're an above-average canadina living in canada. readily granted, but
the world is not canada.
mircea_popescu: the bar for "self-aware adult who lives in
the world" is so fuycking high i don't
think i'm necessarily
there.
nubbins`: but hey, it's not like you need my advice. you seem
to have a good handle on advertising for all your ventures O.O
mircea_popescu: don't
tell me YOU're
the one
that's fucking argentine art school majors ?
nubbins`: because i'm a self-aware adult who lives in
the world?
nubbins`:
the simple fact
that you advertised in
that manner means nobody qualified is gonna bother reading
to
the contact info
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
thestringpuller allow me
to drag in
the stalin and other people's fat
thing.
☟︎ nubbins`: that's how
the penniless search for help
thestringpuller: I
think mircea_popescu underestimates
the amount of effort
that goes into
tayloring game art skills.
nubbins`: on
the basis
that nobody anywhere in
the world advertises for a position more involved
than daycare in
this manner
mircea_popescu: for all you know
the
two are identical. in point of fact
they are identical.
mircea_popescu: yeah well,
then on what basis
to you propose
to put forth subtlety-based arguments such as
that ?
nubbins`: not really, you
taped a bunch of flyers
to outdoor walls.
ascii_field: (but new gig is still a bezzlatronic
thing
that doesn't exist in ar)
nubbins`: you want
to hire useless shitsacks?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: laugh all you like, but i went & found a new gig
the 'mainstream' way, sans meatwot
mircea_popescu: let's play
this game where I use
the argument both ways and nobody uses
the counter-argument both ways against me
mircea_popescu: when i want
to hire
the useless shitsacks perambulating in buenos aires,
they don't need me. becuase... internet.
mircea_popescu: so wait, let me get
this straight. when i want ascii
to move here he can't because HE needs meatwot.
nubbins`: i know
two argentinian artists. know where
they live?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: might ar be a candidate
to become 'an india' - in
the sense of coolie labour on warm chairs with keyboard ..?
nubbins`: you're on
the internet, not on
the argentina
nubbins`: wtf does argentina have
to do with it?
