I am doing my very small part by migrating large part of family and my employer away for a few years now. The world is better without Microslop. Buy unfortunately I know that this isn't always possible.

I do feel like the industry has taken a nosedive quality wise over covid in particular. Lots of new people only in tech for the money, no deep idea about computers. But I know stories like yours from a decade past as well. A tale old as tim

Yeah, most programmers are not curious hackers anymore. They are 9-5 white collar workers with hobbies far outside of programming, systems, hardware, etc. It shows very much as soon as you meet one of them. But, like you said, this is true

You could do the sane thing and not use AI, at all. That does the trick pretty well.

Ai isn't means to creation. AI is a scam on the whole of humanity, big tech stole humanities output in form of books, research and media, and are now selling access to the slop generator. I have created things long, long, long before

AGI wouldn't lie to me every chance it got. Current LLMs are just slop generators, nothing more.

Yes, and France currently has a huge problem with keeping their plants online in the summer when it's too warm. And building new plants is outrageously expensive, see Hinkley Point C. Oh, ans you still need to import fission material,

I don't agree that we are being left behind with regards to AI, I believe it's simply not worth participating in. I hope it all comes crashing down.

The only subscription I have is Spotify, since there's no easy way that I know of to get the discoverability of music in a way that Spotify allows it. For the rest: I agree with you.

I rarely doge a chance to shit on Microslop and its horrible products, but you don't use a browser? In fact, running all that junk in a single chromium instance is quite a memory saver compared to individual electron applications.
