It’s not restricted to dumb people though. Most of my non-technical friends embrace it on way or another and they are not stupid in their own fields. It’s scary.

I despise ads, it’s brainwashing and psychological manipulation. No amount is tolerable. I have refused jobs at advertising companies even when I had money problems and needed to eat. If I were working for Google, I would quit.

I’ve been playing video games for 40 years, where can I get my money?

It would be logical to work less and get our own community. A lot of people work hard all their lives and die soon after retirement. That’s not logical.

We had the same propaganda with books, radio, and TV. Should we ban those things too?

It’s a lot of problems that I would never solve on my own, and both politicians and citizens don’t want to change: social media and AI are destroying humans, shitty parents dont want to take care of their kids, and climate change is destroying the world. It’s inevitable but the smartphone that I use is not responsible.

Smartphones are fine, it’s just a small computer that can make calls and is connected to the internet. You’re using it wrong.

If people can’t control themselves or their kids, it’s not my problem.

Access Denied

Nice article bro. Without reading it, I still know it’s a stupid idea.

No one thought that modern AI could solve arbitrarily complex logic problems

Except half the threads on Hacker News and Lobsters and LinkedIn.

Install MacPorts, it’s better than Homebrew. It’s sudo port install <NAME> instead.

Or moderators. Why would they need those people when the AI can fix everything for free and even improve articles?

It’s automated and exponentially worse. It’s not the same thing.

destroy open source projects

I do believe that too. The AIs are stealing all the code and remove the licenses, and the OSI recently classified “binary blobs” as open-source. LLM companies need fresh content and will try anything to steal that.

I would ask for a refund because it’s a broken TV. I’m not kidding, who the fuck accepts this?

It’s not smart if it’s not connected to anything. Only HDMI.

GrapheneOS has reproducible builds.

Microsoft is not even close to a walled garden

Were you in a coma for the past 40 years?

IIRC the Microsoft TOTP has an (obviously) incompatible format that you can’t store in Bitwarden.

Bitwarden being the only acceptable application for me, I would ask for a work phone if I had to use the Microsoft thing.

I have a Google account at work with the domain name of the company. The AI is annoying and I wished they used something else.

For me it was: Gmail to Tuta, Drive to Filen.io (some cheap German guys). But Sheets would be the most difficult. Maybe Zoho or Infomaniak? Infomaniak has the complete package IIRC.
