Why? I like shorts, bite sized, shaped for mobile when I’m in bed or shitting, interesting content — my feed is very curated after many years of training it, so I only ever get interesting stuff, no brain rot 👍. Coincidentally my Watch Later list is getting out of control. 😓

I KNEW THOSE SHORTS I’VE BEEN WATCHING HAD THE “AI LOOK” GOD-DAMNIT! With the smooth faces and the weird plastic looking contrast.

Yeah that’s a good point, too. 😊

You should probably not eat things because of how much calories they have or don’t have, but because of how much of their nutrients you need, and how much they lack other, dangerous shit. Also eat slowly until you’re full and no more. Also move a lot.
We shouldn’t need calculators for this healthy lifestyle.
The problem with needing to know which foods are healthy is because… well, we forgot.

You might also be surprised to find that research says cholesterol is actually not a bad or dangerous thing. 👍👍

Factoid = Common misbelief
I prefer this meaning, too, but it can also mean just an interesting little fact.

The big four double oh! Congratulations!

Yeah, I downloaded all those OSTs from YouTube to keep on disk and play via Spotify.
Also they’re available in Nintendo’s music app for on-the-go listening. 😁

I had Galaxy 1 and 2, the music is to die for. Both soundtracks are amazing. Beat them both!

When you imply that I am a fear mongerer, and grouchy, that honestly turns me off of this conversation. I’m not interested in these passive-aggressive ad hominems. I don’t know if you realize your rudeness, but sir, please.
Your wording also implies that you generalize me as/among “anti-AI ‘people’”. I’m not anti-AI. You lean heavily on the “old geezer against tech” argument, but that’s not what’s going on here and you won’t hear otherwise. I’m not even 40, bro.
You’ve been borderline civil here, so you know.
I know you’ve heard some of my arguments and I thank you for acknowledging those. I’ve heard yours as well, I hope you take my word for it. But this is where I’m done. I wish you luck in using AI, and have a good day. Peace.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 6 days ago:
We agree that AI has its uses and can be the correct tool for (many!) jobs.
You don’t see potential dangers in trusting a machine with acceleration and breaking? Tesla is screaming that you should.
I think there definitely are dangers, in the wrong hands. For my own personal experience, I use this technology, but I don’t trust it. That’s why I’m always vigilant, and I never fully let myself not pay attention to the road. Always keep my hands on the wheel and pedals if need be. The danger lies in people trusting these immature technologies (too much or at all).
I don’t know what Tesla says, I don’t pay attention to them because I don’t drive Tesla.
Anyway, one technology is touted as intelligent, and gives you answers. The other is marketed as a tool that can increase security, but with a huge disclaimer that the driver is always responsible for keeping an eye on the road and managing the breaks when necessary. (This is Volvo btw.)
It is luddite though.
Alright, call it whatever you want to call it. I don’t know if labelling makes any difference to our argumentation here. Both of our points still stand. All I was trying to say is that I’m not opposed AI for being afraid of the unknown or something, but because I know how it works and that’s what makes me hesitant to use it. AI makes mistakes, and teaches people bullshit with confidence. As well as all those other things you ignored.
But if we find a way to take out the human part of its inputs, then AI can be a really strong tool. Then I might consider using it for more things. But I still like to stay analog for some things, because living a more analog life I think is better and healthier for people in general.
If we rely on computers to make even basic day-to-day decisions for us, we are headed down a path that seems unhealthy. Like I said, it wouldn’t be conducive to independent thought.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 6 days ago:
My use of a calculator is not making me dumber, just faster. I can do the calculations, just not as fast. And I have to know what needs to be calculated in order to get the correct results. AI is more like “give me a budget that works for me”. I fear AI will allow us to bypass having to learn anything and prevent us from thinking at all. The leap is too great.
It could/should definitely be used as a tool, but IMO not used to create whole solutions.
Scaffolding = fine, I guess, but I think it can be a slippery slope if abused.
I have an example of actual people using AI to generate a vacation itinerary for them, and they just printed it and followed it on their vacation. Could potentially be dangerous, first of all. And it’s literally following the will of a computer and experiencing its version of your vacation instead of doing a little bit of research into what you want to do and see and experience.
I don’t know. I just have a bad gut feeling about it.
It’s not Luddite either, I am usually one to adopt tech very quickly and be optimistic about new shit. I for example trust my car to keep pace after other cars and automatically break when the car in front slows down. This is new tech for me as of this year. But what I’m seeing right now with AI induces strong skepticism for me. I have actual people I know that have lost whole projects due to vibe coding.
And the numerous examples of AI being blatantly yet confidently incorrect, racist, suicide coercion, all kinds of shit. Having its input be based on human output just doesn’t feel good. That’s not a good feedback loop. It’s not conducive to independent thought, at its very core.

typographic incontinence
This term tickled my linguizzle gland.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 6 days ago:
I think my point is, the consumer versions of AI, like chat bots, are pretty shit, and they’re making us dumber. They’re also kind of dangerous, of which we’ve already seen numerous examples.
I’m also not interested as a programmer. I’m not looking to bug hunt as a profession. I want to make my own bugs, dammit! That’s the fun part! To create something! Not fix something a machine made until it’s ready to ship. How boring.

- Comment on I replaced my truck's rusted out muffler 1 week ago:
One of my biggest problems I guess is not even knowing what the parts are called or what they do or how things function and how they’re built. I’ll have to start so far up, you know? Not like I can Google “how to replace rinkymadink in a Honda Shmonkaflonk”. I’d rather have to start with, like, “how does a car propel itself?” 💀
