    We’re seriously fuckin’ doomed, as a species. All the morons are outsourcing their decision making to people who’ve learned to game the system exclusively for profit.

      I’ve always felt lucky to have been born Gen X. The music, the movies, the sports… all the legendary moments and all the huge breakthroughs to have been able to experience.

      But now, sadly- there is another bonus, I’ll never live long enough to see end-result of AI erasing human culture. It’s enough to see it so quickly and thoroughly hobble the younger generation’s ability to think for themselves… we also have to see people dumb enough to enable it to continue.

      I may not be glad when my times comes… but I think I’ll be pretty relieved.

      Honestly, this is nothing new.

      Listening to ChatGPT is a solid improvement over listening to Tucker Carlson.

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s not good! I don’t exactly trust the Sam Altmans of the world. But this is the same circus, different clowns.

      It really is nightmarish. I don’t know how else to say it. Something’s gotta give, but I’m afraid it’s not going to.
