Its very silicon valley hype bubble made all the more exponential due to the "magic" of the technology involved. Look at a lot of Effective Altruism types. 80,000 hours a EA nonprofit cites Climate Change as #7 on existential thre

The enshittafication of TikTok is just starting. Right now they are still doing their best to provide a quality service rather than extract value. Instagram is about a decade into getting steadily worse, more addicting, and more unhealthy.

I have come to a similar conclusion. I still get better results generating d&d npcs with my usual random charts than using gpt. Although I have a suspicion it’s because openai has heavily clamped down on gpt responses so it will not giv

I have a pet theory that it’s not that people are more productive when they work less but that there is less work needs doing but few are willing to say it. You go back in time and a lot of great technological innovations have the inventors
