Maybe if we try this…
The Wars are mild!
Climate change is mild!
The wealth gap is mild!
High prices are mild!
Pollution is mild!
Meningitis is mild!
Worker shortages are mild!
What? That’s how we “ended Covid” wasn’t it?
Let’s get mild!
@rpoconnor@atRachelGilmore Canada had 40% fewer deaths than the US.
You fools made it harder and are still whining about it. My only regret is that more of you didn't get sick and disappear.
Maybe health journalists here should be letting people know that three times as many people are dying from infections as were before we let covid rip.
As the *single underlying cause* of death.
It's a complete absence of responsibility.
@LauraMiers I had dengue as a teen in the 1970s in South America. Apparently the older you are the worse it is, and it gets worse every time you get it.
This is not good news
His response floored me.
"Sometimes I forget words now. I'm so used to having ChatGPT complete my thoughts that when it's not there, my brain feels... slower."
He'd been using AI for everything. Writing, thinking, communication. It had become his external brain. And now his internal one was getting weaker.
Made me think about calculators. Remember how teachers said we needed to learn math because "you won't always have a calculator"? They were wrong about that.
But maybe they were right about something deeper. We're running the first large-scale experiment on human cognition. What happens when an entire generation outsources their thinking?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m beyond excited about what AI and AI agents will do for people in the same way that I was excited in 2009 when the App Store was launched.
But thinking out loud you got to think this guy I met with isn't the onnnnnly one that's going to be completely dependent on AI.
@Susan00510080 @BoswellDoug It just so clearly performative. Who aside from the most stupid and craven already cons would fall for this shallow spectacle
As an Xennial, not only am I rejecting AI, I’m beginning to hate all of it. Spam drove me off my phone & email. I ragequit Duolingo AI slop. I used to live on this app, but now I abhor it. As The People are isolated & priced out of society, the enshittification is accelerating.
