  I don’t understand why people have to watch those ads. It’s one websearch that will save you a lot of time.

  I use Mozilla for desktop and brave for Android to listen to videos while the screen is off.

  Thanks for easing my mind a little. You definetly did in perspective to labor.

  You also reminded me I already had my first encounter with a callcenter AI by telekom and it was just as useless as the human equivalent, they seem to get the similar training!

  I just hope it won’t hinder or replace interhuman connection on a larger scale cause in this sphere mediocrity might be enough and we are already lacking there.

  The albeit small but present virtual girlfriend culture in Japan really shocked me and I feel we are not far away from things like AI-droid wives for example.

  I understand nothing about ai and haven’t used it in any way nor do I plan to. It feels wrong for me and I believe it might fuck as harder than social media ever could.

  But the pictures it creates, the stories and conversations don’t seem like hot air. And I guess, compared to the internet we are at the stage where the modem is still singing the songs of its people. There is more to come.

  I heard it can code at a level where entry positions might be in danger to be swapped for ai.

  Gotta admit I’m a little afraid it will make most of us useless in the future.

  I had nitrous one time about 10 years ago. Friends of a friend had one of those devices where you could pinch the container and the gas would flow into a Ballon on the other end.

  Just exchanged the air in my lungs with the gas in the Ballon until I kind of passed out for a second, followed by a wave of euphoria and laughter.

  Was fun, but not something I would do again, even without the included health risks.
