Ask HN: I want an app to block luddites from my life
People who are anti growth, anti technological progress, I want them out of my life.
How can I do this
I want to never meet them, never interact with them whether online or physically
- shorekey 4mo agoI think the luddites may have pre-blocked you using a technology called “vibes.”
- julienreszka 4mo agowtf are you on about? anti progress isn't vibes it's cringe
- nicbou 4mo agoThere must be some tech solution to that social problem
- antondd 4mo agoIf only someone would suggest a tool they’ve built just for this purpose
- al_borland 4mo agoStick to interacting with LLMs and you’ll never have to risk interacting with a person with a different perspective.
- bigfatkitten 4mo agoQuit your job, stay home and claim unemployment benefits. That way you can avoid interacting with anyone who doesn’t agree with your worldview.
- beardyw 4mo agoTo provide a sensible answer: people tend to not be so anti things as having different priorities. I have tinkered with AI, building models etc, but have lost interest because I find the way it is being used is ultimately dangerous. Does that put me in your hate group?
- dnemmers 4mo agoWith comments like this, it might be good to sit and think about what you are saying: "no way llms can be worse than what we have now (absolute gerontocratic retardation) and i think the tech is now good enough."
- pmpmpmpm 3mo ago1. Tell everyone you don’t like to fuck off & avoid everyone who disagrees w you - stop talking to ppl who don’t work in AI and who aren’t under 25. 2. Move to SF - preferably near a university. Do everything via apps & never connect w anyone you don’t like. 3. Define what you mean by “progress” - Luddites didn't hate progress they hated the ppl who destroyed their livelihoods in the worst way for “almost” the shittiest progress known to man (now we call the progress they opposed “a sweatshop”/fast fashion). You might agree w ppl you “hate” more than you think. 4. Enjoy progress!
- pickleglitch 3mo agoI would suggest you begin by researching the actual history of luddites.
- julienreszka 3mo agoI did and the more I know the least it's helping their case.
