i'm sort of over talking about AI. It feels like an inevitable steamroller I can really do nothing about and it feels like we risk just agreeing with each other here perpetually.

Also I think if anyone followed me in the first place it was for some retro-pc-tinkering topic rather than some hot take on the color of Sam Altman's underwear.

So, a poll:

Please stick to posting about obscure retro shit and torturing EGA cards for fun

Actually, your opinions about AI are the best opinions, please continue

Occasional AI doom-posting is fine but do it too much and I am going to unfollow you so hard
31.8%

@gloriouscow what I do is post my AI opinions with a content warning attached, so people who are tired of it can scroll past it, while those curious get to hear my feelings. but ultimately, your feed is your space, not mine!

@asie that is a good point.

sort of like good alt text. good cw tagging takes a certain discipline. today's AI rant was sort of in the latter half of a stream of consciousness about software licensing so I was just in it at that point with no planning.

@gloriouscow oh yeah, I'm not perfect either. but I think CW tagging is a solid compromise for "i want to talk about this, but i know some of my audience doesn't want to hear it for reasons which i respect"' - alongside alt accounts (for "most of my audience"), of course.
