@socketwench Whenever I hear them speak of AI replacement I think of the Twilight Zone: "The Brain Center at Whipple's". In my head I hear the echo of the former employee: "When you're dead and buried, who will mourn for you?"

@socketwench *don't enjoy creative work

*are incapable of a creative thought and must steal them in anyway possible from the actual creative humans.

@grueproof Except for coteries, true for all of us. However, this is certainly not the vapid attention whoring of the Zuck or Mush verse.

@thegibson Honestly, as a relatively new human here, something like this is very much appreciated. I can understand why the general public is adverse to the fediverse, it's obtuse and takes a great deal of effort (over the brainwash billiverse) to find topics and folks of interest. The interaction is very sparse as well. Often feel like I'm shouting in a void. Which is decently true anywhere, but more-so here.

@SFRuminations Fear and pain are more seductively addictive than happiness and contentment. Especially in a culture that only sees life as winners and losers, there is a vicarious unspoken enticement to live through the other's pain.

@SFRuminations =)

Stuff like that terrified me when I was smallish.

@SFRuminations The horror of the news is something I avoid. Enough of it's syrupy vitriol still seeps into my life to give me the shivers on it's own.
