"learn ai or become part of the underclass"
how fried is your brain if you think you have to learn how to use ai. OH NO HOW WILL I EVER LEARN HOW TO TYPE IN A SENTENCE AND THEN BE DISAPPOINTED AT THE RESULT
Even in successful games I consider realism umbrella, like the sequels of Horizon Zero Dawn and Death Stranding, a few of the things that matter far, far more than realism:
- intentionally making the design choices together to create a cohesive world & increase immersion
- colors & sounds & textures which give us a sense of emotion and connection to the story & characters
- choices which **are** unrealistic , making worlds different enough than ours, places we want to explore and escape to

But at this point EVERYTHING touches a computer at some point. When things start going wrong in a hospital or prison, or within the government, someone is going to die.
The risk introduced by each Silicon Valley idiot-factory compounds the more that those systems interact with one another.
So I genuinely wish I could just deep-freeze my devices until we can sort this nonsense out.
It is supremely uninteresting, among other feelings, to be in any tech space right now, because AI has literally replaced every conversation around issues that AI cannot and will not fix.
Beside being a horrifying mess in its creation, it's not even _that much_ interesting of a tool!
"FOSS maintainers are unpaid and don't have the resources to manage large open source projects, they _have_ to use AI to get anything done."
I've seen this take a couple of times in recent weeks, and I've got two things to say about it:
1. We've been able to manage large open source projects for decades in the past, without LLMs.
2. Ever thought about how there may be a connection between "FOSS is unpaid" and capitalism producing trillion-dollar AI companies and more and more billionaires?

I wish I could recommend this piece more, because it makes a bunch of great points, but the "normal technology" case feels misleading to me. It's not _wrong_, exactly, but radium paint was also a "normal technology" according to this rubric, and I still very much don't want to get any on me and especially not in my mouth
