    Oh, the morons are definitely worshipping AI.

    My brain-dead neighbor who said he would ask chatgpt when garbage day was after I told him what day it was and then pointed at a sign the city zip-tied to the parking sign 15 feet from where we were standing at our front door that said what day it was. That kid definitely worships AI.

    I must be off my game today. A headline started with “Sam Altman Says” and I accidentally read the whole headline.

    I will say, as an old and fat and gay millennial, Gen Z actually does make me optimistic with this trend I noticed of a lot of them rejecting newer tech and going more analog.

    I even know a few who tossed out their smartphones for dumbphones and some of my other Gen Z friends asked me for help on how to burn CDs.

    I dunno, with how bad things are these days, this is something that gives me hope.

      Millennials need to stick with supporting Gen-Z. I feel like as people start inheriting money, or choosing to use destructive tech like AI, the media is going to get better and better at dividing Millennials. Elder Millennials are most at risk of splitting off.

      I don’t want us to get to a point where Gen Alpha hates Millennials. Millennials are very good at rejecting media programming and trying to break systemic cycles, hopefully that’s our thing, and the next generations can steer the ship somewhere better than boomers did.

      CDs are digital storage - source: every CD player from the 80s through the 90s proudly displayed a “digital” decal on its body.

    Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.

    By posting this type of shit you are building his platform and legitimizing his opinion.

    You are an enabler of one of the most privileged, selfish, and arrogant pieces of shit alive.

    Stop.

    This goes for OP and Futurism.

    People like Altman live by the saying “No press is bad press”, by both ways you can interpret it:

    • There’s no such thing as bad press; and
    • Not being in the press is bad.

    Even if ragebait/engagement-bait. In the end it only legitimizes him.

    And I get that by responding I’m also engaging, but I see this type of comment as more of an “investment” than an “engagement”.

        It was cool just long enough for the novelty to wear off and the facts of how it was developed, how environmentally destructive it is, and what it will be used for to come out

      I last thought it was cool in… checks notes 2016, when an innocent project to differentiate the content and style of images got turned into a big social media face alteration filter data harvesting thing. Feel kinda guilty about accidentally contributing in whatever small way that was at this point
