  • 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.




  • 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.
