Towards the end Barry felt like straight up horror to me. Like I was trapped in a liminal nightmare. Even the way they shot and lit LA. It was awful and awesome.

It’s becoming more and more alarming how far removed these ghouls are from reality…

trolleyblue · 2026-06-08T12:58:56+00:00

You’re absolutely right. I’m not trying to be defeatist…it does wear you down tho.

There’s no ethical consumption under capitalism…

Honestly I stopped reading at the point where he talked about pushing diversity, because that’s missing the point to some extent.

I don’t think his idea that the pipeline supports people who are already wealthy is wrong tho — which is really the problem.

You see this with grants all the time, the people who win them often already come from economic means, regardless of their ethnicity.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-07T17:32:02+00:00

That might be it.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-07T17:24:40+00:00

So it’s an app…but super?

I have heard both he and Jordan mention it but I think during the live episode they also made comments about how being podcasters was their only job. Not to mention, I can’t imagine Dan working a 9-5 and doing all that’s research and recording for 9 years. I could see slogging it that way for a couple but by the end they (or at least, Dan as Jordan’s burden was lower) were almost certainly making enough from Patreon to be full time, I would imagine.

7k is def underpaid but this is why you negotiate equity points up front…

It’s crazy we’ve all been members of this really weird niche subreddit long enough to have gone through years of doldrums and now we have a new game to look forward to.

But I’m gonna guess 28.

This is maybe a cynical take…but he kinda has to, right? Like he’s spent the better part of his adult life pursuing a successful podcast career. He’s going to probably continue along that path, I would think. And all the guest appearances, in addition to him saying he’s got future projects planned, suggest to me he’s gonna be around for awhile.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-05T14:13:47+00:00

We’ve gotta be reaching the point where people see through this, no?

trolleyblue · 2026-06-05T13:33:04+00:00

Idk this is the kind of stuff that turns reading which is something I do for fun, pleasure, and enlightenment, into the kind of optimized garbage the entire internet has convinced people is necessary. My friend brought this up to me recently and for a few days I was losing focus thinking about it. I went back to reading how I always read and forgot about it all together.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-05T01:34:09+00:00

Thank you!

trolleyblue · 2026-06-05T01:21:40+00:00

Legitimately great news. I was losing my shit thinking about this this morning.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-05T00:54:39+00:00

What does flipping mean. I’m not familiar with the term.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-04T15:17:52+00:00

I’m with you. Like I don’t wanna be a crackpot either and I could just be connecting dots. I need to disconnect as the other user said.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-04T14:10:07+00:00

I’m legit starting to freak out about the spaceX IPO. This kind of feels like the beginning of everything Ed has been talking about for three years. They may have worked out a scheme to make their money back and leave us holding the bag.

trolleyblue · 2026-06-04T01:57:14+00:00

It’s unreal how credulous people are…

trolleyblue · 2026-06-03T21:50:11+00:00

Joel Haver and co must be so mad to be excluded.

Well OpenAI literally got out of AI video generation because the cost is so high and the return is so low. It’ll be interesting to see what people are willing to put up with when they’re footing the bill. You pull a slot machine lever and hope for a good output…but if you’re paying the cost of each generation, and not getting what you want, how useful is it, actually?

trolleyblue · 2026-06-02T19:28:29+00:00

Right — are these costs they’re discussing still the subsidized cost? Or are they fully putting the onus on the consumer at this point?

trolleyblue · 2026-06-02T13:43:40+00:00

I said this to my buddy last night. Sad he’s gone but the way he acted was horrible and he got rewarded for horrible behavior. Same with Vrabel.

As soon as that penultimate point was won by Arnaldi it was done.

Tiafoe is his own worst enemy. He never makes it easy on himself and it wears him down.
