Is there anywhere we can find a translation yet or is it too early?

  I really hate how screenshots have replaced actual articles. I want to know more.
  
  because modern online articles are filled with 800+ words of literally no meaning other than getting the viewer to see the 2,000 ads plastered on the website
  
  New Thing Found By Scientists
  Scientists at the Science Lab for Sciencey Science this Thursday have found a thing. The thing is a science thing found by scientists at the Science Lab for Sciencey Science.

  Omg this is the very first moment in my life that I might start to look forward to AI writing articles.
  And... it's already over. Bc such articles may be shorter, but they will find their own way to become enshittified for the sake of profits.
  
  My god I wish we didn’t put getting resources into every aspect of everything we do. “Well, this is neat, but we can’t buy that new 400k TV with it so, garbage can it is. The next one will get us the luxury that finally makes us happy. Did you see my new collectible? It’s valuable!”
  When we create artificial life, honest to god actual artificial life that can run on sunlight alone, then and only then can we step outside of this resource collecting, bullshit reality.
  Well, that or Star Trek replicators that run on something like grass and weeds. No need to compete then, just grow and learn. That is if we can escape our evolutionarily need to collect and hoard resources.
  Gettin’ yo shit and bangin’ yo removed needs to be meaningless for us to really become something special. I know that sounds silly, but I can’t survive without yo money, thrive without yo protection, or reproduce without yo removed. So what am I gonna do?
  Haha. Please don’t take me too seriously. I’m a comeenuhnun. Comeeduhnun. Comedian.
  
  Allow me to disagree - but only if we both find this digression fun to be clear:-).
  The likes of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos have already escaped the grind. They don't seem all that happy.
  Americans have had an extremely high standard of living, in the global sense. Yet we are some of the angriest people in existence.
  Studies show that while you need enough to live, anything beyond that increases stress (someone else wanting what you have), and disconnectedness.
  Anyway, people being dicks to one another seems to have little to do with resources and a lot to do with psychology. Which may have been input into our genes due to limited resources, but now that it's there... it won't so easily be ignored, and the pathway to curing it seems like it will have to be different from how we got to here.
  Well, I hope this thought was fun to read and think about!:-)
  
  And seeing that immediately invalidates whatever claim the headline makes, so it's important to know.
  
  Kids these days can't even read Standard Babylonian 😔
- can't answer definitely, but if you look up Irving Finkle (not Finkelstein)on YouTube, he is a really interesting fellow who I believe can read it all fluently.
  
  I want to like my job as much as Dr. Finkel does his. Also I think it's just Irving Finkel.
  
  yes. I've been watching too much Norman Finkelstein.
  
  I'll let you off with a warning this time.
  
  thanks. both men are equally good!
