talk out loud
use words that people understand
everything else is written in sand
and i know it will blow over
i wish it would have ended
without being so long-winded
see this is why i have to stop being exposed to people's ideas, they're all just dumb and pointless and id be better off not making my brain buzz over something so worthless
even the more interesting conceptual issues (the interrelation between faith and community) aren't really my problems and every reply disappoints the prompt
mary is right that everyone is being cynical and nasty and it's ugly but the only alternative ive found to not be this way is hibernation and i don't want to do that right now
it's neat when learning is fun and engaging, but that isn't the point of learning. mark rober slop makes you feel like you're learning but doesn't leave you with anything on its own. often learning is painful and frustrating and it's all the better for it.
i feel like usually it just betrays a misunderstanding of the noun, or at least an unwarranted shamefulness about it and a diluted message to appeal to moderates (of which the author is likely a recent tepid convert)
i dislike every step of the canned dialogue tree that begins:
"ai is being used for x thing, skirting existing norms of responsibility, and this is bad"
"this is good actually, this could lead to the reduction in having to do x"
idk it's just always too narrow and stupid. what kind of institutional structure could produce x as a reasonable demanded activity and why do we have any reason to believe that ai performance of x would alleviate those pressures, even if adequately performed (big if in the short term)
