I have a very hard time reframing things

Because you are not supposed to. Emotions exist one layer of abstraction lower than consciousness, hence frontal lobe can’t override them manually. It’s evolutionary safety measure

If you have arachnophobia, just think of it as the spider-man, this will surely do the trick /s

Why not spend 5 minutes and find a place that has exact same meals, but doesn’t use AI?

I would take Word (or LibreOffice Writer) bullet point list with prices and ingredients list over “pretty” AI menu at this point

Your point can still get across

Probably even sharper than with AI, because it looks cleaner and has less distracting elements

I might not be able to tell every time something is AI. That’s true.

But if a person has put zero effort making sure it doesn’t look like AI, then I have every right to call that out.

If you cheat, at least be smart about it and not get caught.

Surely this will make them finally realize it is unsustainable to demand consumer to upgrade their hardware every few years?.. Right? Right??

That’s weird. If they want an OS to tinker with, Windows is the worst option really. Why not Arch or Gentoo or NixOS?

I am no coder, so I only ever need to modify configs or write down my thoughts. nano for configs, Standard Notes for thoughts

This article’s title is ridiculous. What do you mean ‘why don’t normal people use agentic AI?’ Were they supposed to?

I think there were already some research findings, how software developers tend to drastically overestimate how much AI helped them, while AI was actually hindering their productivity. It could be the same case here.

What AI is really good at is spitting out plausible sounding garbage, pretending it did some comprehensive research on the topic, and making people feel like it’s helpful without neccessarily being so.

I am not a conspiracy theorist

Shill harder, we need to deliver more shareholder value

So true lmao. I have been using Linux for 4 years. Recently three of my friends have switched, each went for a distro I would never go for myself, nor recommend to anyone. Yet I was just happy for them and hopeful for FOSS.

Saying this as a person who once said systemd is bloat, proprietary drivers are backdoors, Firefox is bloated spyware, use only FSF approved distros.

Signal is better, but if the concern is Telegram scanning messages and automatically sending them to the police, that doesn’t seem to happen either. Durov doesn’t care, for better or worse, like Telegram being used for drugs and terrorism. Although Telegram employees themselves could be snooping through your messages, that’s true

She may have overestimated the degree of privacy her DMs had. That’s also on her.

Her fault for being too busy teaching kids and surviving on $40k salary instead of researching perfect OPSEC and going down the digital privacy rabbit hole

Mass surveillance has been around for like, what, 20 years now? How well has it worked out with preventing school shootings?

Passive indiscriminate mass surveillance doesn’t do shit to prevent or stop crime.

Becoming a billionaire really does seem to get to people’s heads, the younger the billionaire the worse.

Zuck is being completely reckless, burning through hundreds of billions of dollars hopping on every futuristic idea, and doesn’t listen to anyone’s fair criticism anymore.

He probably even thinks he is some great visionary and everyone else is holding him back, and that’s why they work for him, not the opposite.

In a sane socioeconomic system we wouldn’t people get this rich and powerful for their own good, especially young people.
