I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
This is just sad tbh. They are going to be rounding up trans people into camps at this rate. The insane cruelty of the right on this issue is completely unnecessary and trans people are being scapegoated increasingly as the primary bag holders after the collapse of woke coalition
These tech people convinced everyone in the 2000s that we should turn over everything to them so they could disrupt and innovative new efficient systems. Then they just gave us scamcoins, uber, metaverse, airbnb, and ai slop. Now they demand more power to do what? Suck more?
The real purpose of AI is probably to rug pull all the repositories they used to train the AI from public access, like theyre trying to do with libgen. Then AI will mediate all interaction with that information and give them ultimate control to censor and manipulate it
@gezmedinger Thanks for the suggestions. Please have Beth O’Hara on your show sometime! She and I live in the same city but I have not done her program. A doc thinks I have Hereditary Alpha Tryptasemia, but all nebulous. Mast cells are complicated.
@FutureTiming@GoodWillsmith Agree 100% re: pop drivel garbage scene. But deeper cuts around - best IMO via the more intrepid roller rink DJs, been skating a lot. Was just on Battlecat’s IG via a Grammy skating party post and he’s one example… legacy dude making modern. Lots of talented young new too.
