Ah yes, the good old “everybody else is an NPC, but I, the superior specimen, see things clearly”.

And yes, I already know how some people will respond to this - with some version of “I’ve never had those issues, maybe you’re the problem.”

Maybe you don’t quite have things as figured out as you think you do?

It’s not that I’m trying to say what you’re describing isn’t a problem, but this tired schtick in itself is just another “script” as you called them, and I seriously doubt variations of that are going to be the main response. This line of thinking isn’t particularly novel in any way, in some ways people have been going “y’all are just automatons” for thousands of years now, and eg. Yrjö Kallinen, a Finnish politician, talked about this stuff in the 70’s and probably earlier too (there’s a playlist of this on Youtube in Finnish for any Finnish speakers who might be interested) – the phrasing he used was that most people live like they’re “in a dream”.

So, it’s not necessarily that you’re wrong, but that this kind of “automation” is a lot more widely recognised that you give people credit for

You should stop using the PowerCore 10000 ‘immediately’

Engadget “journalists” don’t know how to use quotes

Edit: it’s probably I who doesn’t know how to use quotes

(is great (oh (really (like-p lisp you))))

If the data you’re handling isn’t sensitive in any way (or you can eg. anonymise / pseudonymise it) and you don’t have anything else sensitive on the VM, it wouldn’t really matter either way – and as @[email protected] said, if you’re running an executable from some yarrr site you’re probably going to get malware

Just run it in a VM?

Doing stupid things because stupid people do stupid things too 👌

Comparing apples to oranges doesn’t make any more sense just because someone else does something even dumber.

In fact, maybe we should run offices like that. Just breed developers in a closed system

At some point going as far as trying to genetically engineer an even larger hamster instead of just changing the design so that it could use multiple smaller but parallel hamsters

This is the correct answer

This better be Franchesca’s choir version of the song.

Edit: it indeed was the choir version

Well, better late than never.

“And finally, this isn’t about regrets; I have none.”

It’s going to be never.

People (and I’m using that term in the loosest descriptive way possible) like this are completely incapable of learning from their mistakes. Trump could have her shipped off to CECOT and keep her there until she died from the abuse, and her last words would be “no regrets MAGA lol are you triggered libs”

Makes me wonder what the fuck they think they voted for

You called someone an “instagram drama queen bot” for absolutely no reason, and you think everybody else is being cruel to you?

People don’t dislike you because of your neurodivergence, but because you consistently act like an insufferable asshole towards more or less everyone and then use being neurodivergent as an excuse

lol no he wasn’t, that was never ever going to happen

Same here, and pretty notably I keep getting more left wing instead of more conservative and the same’s been happening to my friends too, so even the idea that you automatically get more conservative as you age is pretty suspect.

Shit, right now in Finland the under 25’s are more conservative than Millennials, at least based on voting patterns

I’ve become much more flexible in my thinking and beliefs the older I’ve gotten, and statistically young people are much more likely to have extreme positions on things.

If anything, you’re probably going to have a worse time convincing young people who think they know everything, than older people who understand that they don’t.

inb4 checks and balances is DEI

Do you think I’d be calling it AI slop if I was trying to hype something up? Seriously you’re having some completely different argument here, you’re so sure you know who I am that you don’t even bother to read shit. Just because I said you don’t know jack shit about what you’re talking about you think I’m some sort of AI fan.

I’m just going to go ahead and block you because this is like talking to a wall. Dear gods you’re as bad as the “AI will solve everything” morons

Eh, they’ll come around…
