I know you’ve got the most downvoted comment here, but I actually agree with you completely.

Using AI to replace genuine creative work is depressing.

In my experience, the latest AI tools (and agents) are more than capable of cutting corporate corners and generating the kind of bullshit busywork that defines so many “bullshit jobs.”

It feels like the perfect use case for AI given the system so many of us are stuck in. Be smart and use AI to get some of your time back at the expense of your employers.

You sound like a really wise dude. When you put it that way, it’s sooo true, I can’t believe that the simple act of buying a random book in cash is the antithesis of how consumerism works these days (we go online, read reviews, get tracked, get recommended books based on our search query and our “profile”, etc)

Also, may I ask what kind of games you’re into? That was a huge dilemma for me in the past. Like, should I run Linux or Windows. In the end, I gave up PC gaming after a lifetime of being a hardcore PC gamer and moved to console for simplicity sake.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response. You and I are pretty much on the same page on everything. I’m relieved to see that I’m not the only one who feels this way.

It’s unavoidable, isn’t it?

I checked my RSS feeds once today and read that SpaceX is developing their own particle accelerator.

1. No need for you to jump in, pretty sure the incoming black hole will take care of it.
2. No RSS for me tomorrow.

It would be different if you saw something regarding a change towards improvement but that’s never seen, you just get another endless scroll of shit that is destroying society with no way to change it.

Yes, that’s exactly how I feel. It’s almost as if it’s being deliberately rubbed in our faces about our true collective powerlessness in this moment.

The fediverse is just as bad as any other social network out there. Although the leaning is opposite, it’s still full of extremism, hyperbolic hatred, ridicule, mockery, division and sufferporn. Without filters, it would be as unusable to me as, say, facebook or trump’s social network.

Yes! I have so many filters enabled in my Lemmy client, but this morning, I stumbled upon a screenshot (since filters aren’t smart enough to extract content from screenshots) of an Epstein email that was so incredibly disturbing in its implication. These aren’t my vile thoughts, yet they’ve been bouncing around my mind all day.

I can’t take it anymore.

Please stay strong out there.

Why no mask?

Word choice is important here. Labeling woke ideology a “virus” implies accusers are deploying their own counter-ideology “virus”. We know that billionaire owned algorithms and social media echo chambers are already doing this to vulnerable people, but this confession hints at something even darker and not yet public.

This actually reminds me of the theory of quantum immortality (the idea that you’re immortal because your consciousness will always continue on in branches of reality where you survive). It kind of fits with your description of awareness “moving forward” only along certain coordinates of time or possibility.

I think he means that he actually enjoys the version that he’s getting 😊

I understand your point hence my upvote. I don’t know about you, but I mainly use Lemmy on a phone made by Apple. Many of my friends use Google phones and Microsoft computers.

And here I thought I was being clever. Thanks for sharing! That was great.

I hadn’t even noticed Basic Platinum before I posted. That one is such an oxymoron that it went full-moron.

Premium Pentium is the tier above Basic Celeron

Hey, I’m not trying to be a curmudgeon, but isn’t leaving multiple comments on a social media post about an AI article itself a way of engaging with it?

Any idea what font this is? Would love to recreate for the captions on my media player.

Did we, if kings still exist under a different name?

Totally agree, but what to do? Just forsake all entertainment, media, and technology at this point?

I’m not an expert, but my understanding is that federation adds significant complexity to the system. Even simple features take careful planning, so there’s a natural friction that prevents new features from being added carelessly.
