    Houses are pretty great for a few factors

    • Not sharing a wall with a neighbor
    • being able to be louder in general
    • Not being woken up by neighbors
    • Not getting your home infested with bugs because of having a nasty neighbor
    • No loud honking at night
    • Not having your door accidentally knocked on to ask if your apartment neighbor is home when they’re not answering their door
    • Parking in your own garage
    • Having a yard for your dog/kids to play in

    Apartments fucking suck in so many ways. I get that they’re pretty handy in City Skylines where everyone bases their urban planning experience from but there is a reason people prefer to live in house and it’s because it gives you separation from other people in a way apartments cannot.


  • I enjoy Lex’s longform style but man he does nothing journalistic, which drives me crazy. He’ll ask a hard question but never pushes back on answer cause he’s concerned about being friends with everyone moreso than actually challenging someone’s PR answer that never exists in reality.

    When your topic is AI, and it’s at the forefront of national attention you’re pretty useless if you don’t have the stones to actually challenge these pie in the sky type answers the regulars give on his show.

    Altman “It’s going to make money useless and probably result in massive unemployment. But I think everyone should have some say in the development in AGI and how we handle it.”

    Lex “Wow that’s so noble. Anyways, do you think we can have AI friends someday.”

    Like you don’t have to be mean or rude but you gotta have the courage to press some of these guests on their bullshit.
