I know this sounds pretentious (which is quite ironic), but this is something I've noticed about the internet. You never read about what someone does, only what they say. You hear politicians claim that they'll fix the economy, or celebrities make speeches about what they feel like, or what "message" a fictional movie has being discussed over and over, but none of that matters, because it's all saying and no doing!

I blame the attempt to make devices user-friendly. Convenience kills skill.

Yeah, Drumpf is too old for office and can't understand how money works imo. It's not even the Dictatorship On Day One deal. Julius Caesar and Napoleon Bonaparte could, at least, solve a great many of their people's problems. Drumpf and Vance aren't even doing that. It's a bit exhausting having almost every U.S. politician cramming into the D-Party, but after this whole fiasco, it'll split up.

Like my second, albeit braindead, systems administrator on my shoulder

I think the more important part is that your systems administrator is braindead. I know it's hyperbolic, but you can certainly learn coding (Link 2) and Spanish (Link 2) yourself.

I think Generative AI should just be scrapped. Nobody needs hyperrealistic photos and videos, or chatbots, or any of that shit. The main problems of the world are not technological, but legal. Too many laws are enacted for the benefit of robber-barons, and unless they are scrapped, I have no faith in my legal system.

You should look at the energy cost of AI. It's not a miracle machine.

There are a few problems, tho. 1 2 3 4 5 6

This worldwide obsession with anti-aging is a plague. It has to fucking stop. Everytime I hear someone calling women over 30 "old hags", I can't help the feeling that they're pedophiles. Just let girls age normally, for fuck's sake!

 

This was originally going to be posted on Fuck AI, but it really applies to technology far more generally.

Did you know that Oregon has its lottery funds go straight to the government? I guess having only eighth place is a good thing

As for me, it should be dead. I'm tired of having people link Twitter, as if any good person will join a discussion on there. It's a digital parasite feeding off ad revenue and it should be taken down so people stop linking to it and posting on there.

Whenever I browse Twitter I do it because others link to it

spoiler, and a lot of porn originates from there
. I'm glad that people are moving away, because that means these not as many people will use it as a primary source, and post art and other stuff somewhere else.
