It's intellectual junk food at best.

I'm not sute if I'll get much sympathy but I would SO much rather get a synopsis with maybe a couple bullet points and some relevant pictures (or graphs!) than an article.

Let articles die. I just want to know what happened. I don't want to read the history or a flowery introduction. They just hide the point. This is why I believe reddit2 will use either an AI or the emergent intelligence of thousands of redditors to distill articles down to a short synopsis.

I do not think reading the whole article is a sign of intelligence. If I want to read something that's going to take 30-40 minutes it will be a lot more planned out than just stumbling upon an interesting headline.

I really think the article format has had its day but it will take a while for people to admit they don't like reading long flowery opinionated journal entries.

They need to make sure you will be obedient to arbitrary orders.

Yeah, do not do this. You'll end up with a $1000 bill from Amazon becuase you forgot to shut it down and discover very quickly they don't care at all once they already have your money.

It's simulations all the way down. What's at the very bottom? An entity hopelessly trying to escape the death of its own Universe. In fact, all of existence will end in .0000001 seconds but for us that's 100 billion years. But it will end (sorry superior God-like entity).

That sounds totally radical when you first hear it but it actually makes total sense to me. I guess they're just trying to avoid technological domination by Google. Right now they still have a player in the game thanks to Edge. If they were to lose that player Google would be able to make technological choices that might be harmful to Microsoft?

There are four slides. It takes 10 seconds to look through the entire thing. If you can't make it past the second slide before writing a three paragraph critique you are 100% not in my target audience. Not that there is no validity in your opinion somewhere but I'm not sure if you understand the point of the thing.

Obviously I have an actual resume. What did you think about the thing in general other than not being able to make out some of the words in the word cloud?

...also, based on your feedback I updated that image to make the smaller text bigger. I had noticed the same thing earlier but I didn't imagine it would bother my intended audience. Not saying that's you but at least I'm fixing the things people say they don't like.

I used impress.js for the slides.

It's intentionally lightweight. I don't have a lot of public projects that I can link to. Plus it seems like the kind of thing where you shouldn't try too hard. So I left it at kind of the level we're pretty much anybody can do it.

The only types of jobs I'm looking for are part-time jobs and remote jobs. So that's my audience.

By the way if you looked at HANK and want to talk about that send me a message!

Anyways thank you for the critique. It'll be helpful to me.
