I think writing by hand is overrated. Said as a person who wrote non stop as a kid, whole little novels by hand. Much hand cramps. Much pain. Now carpal tunnel . Grew up pre internet. It wasn’t from computers.

I can write the same shit on a laptop, and without smearing shit because I’m left handed.

There’s no depth.

Ah, trash. Or atleast the slop I wish wasn’t on the steam store.

All of them still work. I’m running Yuzu as my daily still.

Never ever ever. I learned to code on a 14 year old hp probook. I know how long I can hold out.

I knew I had a reason to hate Tim and Epic games. I’m glad I never took their bribes of free games and installed their store

I still believe my windows phone had the best UI of any smartphone I’ve used

Oh they definitely felt like a gimmick at First

Or it flags something as an error falsely and the human has so much faith in the system that it must be correct, and either wastes time finding the solution or bends reality to “correct” it in a human form of hallucinating bs. Especially dangerous if saying there is an error supports the individual’s personal beliefs

Edit:

I’ll call it “AI-induced confirmation bias” cousin to AI-induced psychosis.

Oh ok. I rarely use any browser features beyond bookmarks. Thats pretty much all I need from a browser. So I don’t explore the side bars and stuff.

There’s AI in Firefox? I’m running it as new as I can in Arch and have never seen a hint of it.

There was also a famous ocean explorer on board they were using as a prop for their company. He’d done great work exploring shipwrecks previously and not a billionaire

Short form video is the single best propaganda machine there is. You don’t get context, so it’s easy to manipulate events. Also, for some reason, people really fall for the “authority” of some rando talking into a camera like they know what the hell they’re talking about.

Every time somebody shows me a TikTok video as a reference or to make a point, the information is either fake or completely incorrect.

Not to mention, The algorithm feeds you more of these talking heads and makes you think it’s the general consensus

I’m glad I never installed that shitty app

It’s clear to me

I don’t have subscriptions for anything or license keys. What are people doing?

LOL that ain’t it. It’s shifts in society, and the gap in how men and women see the world is widening. Speaking as a man myself, it ain’t looking so good when I look at my fellow men’s behavior and values. Dude’s are sliding to the right and turning inward just because they strike out a few times. It happens, you’re going to have failed relationships. you’re going to get rejected. You’re going to even get divorced at times. It’s part of the process. You can’t turn against women because of it. It’s not a moral failing of society.

How do you fuck up so badly when you the largest share of the market? Like what?

As an open source developer, I’d love to have had contributors to help package my apps. It was killing me maintaining everything by myself. It sounds like the control issues I had when I first had contributors, where I didn’t want others to touch my babies too much when people actually started writing code.

I mean I’d say the Stage of Technology we’ve been in since like 2010 has been very detrimental for the individual and destructive to society. Social media, smartphones, surveillance states. AI is an even worse version of these. If social media ran by billionaires are not open, unbiased, non-manipulative emotional-reactaction-over-critical-thinking silos, what makes you think all these LLMs run by millionaires and billionaires won’t be? They’re just the next step in social media.
