in a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.
feels like the worst time to be alive if you are the kind of person who is passionate about learning to do things the right way.
just fucking dark. everything is so dark right now.

Yeah, it's bad and getting worse fast.

I can't even use normal search engines to look up news that I clearly remember from a few weeks ago. Everything useful is being buried under an avalanche of shit.

"AI" is a weapon, we are under attack, and more people need to recognize the threat for what it is.

@violetmadder @peter

There are news stories I remember - ones that back leftwing points of view - that are just gone now, it seems.

And articles about regular stuff are all written by AI and full of just wrong information.

It's time for (some of) us to become archivists. Keep copies and/or notes of anything we care about.

I know somebody who's been doing this as a major autistic fixation for years, with an eye to sharing his collection. I sure hope it CAN be shared widely, before all avenues of communication are too restricted.

@violetmadder
Does he need a webhost or something?
