they know, they don't want to tell us, so as to maintain said power structure.

this sounds largely like spiritualizing technology without wrestling with its material consequences. There’s something slippery about invoking “awareness” as both subject and substrate without ever pinning down whose awareness, under what conditions, and to what end.

"now is your shot at particpating" in what exactly? merely existing? you techno-mysticism types spook the hell out of me.

blah blah blah.. anybody else fatigued by all this nonsense?

Using AI to build AI to help AI build more AI with AI

while I appreciate the spirit of optimism here, I think it's equally important to recognize that blind trust in human resilience has often left us flat-footed. we've all seen time and again that things we once thought unthinkable: mass surveillance, algorithmic manipulation, ecological collapse, genocide, wars, all these things can and do happen, often because we assumed our better natures would prevail.

optimism without vigilance isn't hope, it's complacency. imagination doesn't just need space to flourish; it needs friction, scrutiny, and an honest reckoning with the systems that quietly shape or suppress it, and some prompt on an image/music/poetry LLM isn't going to do that for you.

go outside!

Sent yet another application, nothing. Y’all painting the office over there?

Tech feels like it’s been hijacked by enterprise-minded tinkerers obsessed with uptime and type safety, yet utterly allergic to soul. No one’s making beautiful or weird things anymore, just pipelines and SDKs for more pipelines. It’s like watching jazz musicians only play scales. So tired of this industry.

Because lithium batteries that could now be in the luggage compartment.

Honestly what’s the difference between this and what I already do with ChatGPT?

got it.

or like watching someone lovingly restore a fax machine with carbon fiber casing and a neural net to optimize transmission speed. I’m torn between admiration and existential despair.

why

I’m so tired of this corporate jargon infecting academia. Universities used to value clarity, now they sound like HR memos. It’s the same playbook: bloat admin, cut actual workers, rebrand inefficiency as strategy.

what a dog shit article. The claim that "apps" enable financial misconduct is unsupported, and the title's questions are left unaddressed. The central argument—that traditional companies are driving inflation—is never substantiated. The final paragraph reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of economics, suggesting that prices should fall once inflationary pressures ease, which is incorrect.

This severe lack of economic insight undermines the rest of the article's credibility for me. and at 500k upvotes, I'm really starting to question even bothering with this community anymore. Bot votes?

that's the McCarthy era red scare nonsense still polluting the minds of (mostly boomers / older gen-x) americans. it's so juvenile and overly simplistic.

that's the propaganda talking to you.

OP actually gave pretty sound advice. maybe be a little more constructive next time and less edgelord.

It's not a strict 12-18 hour window. Instead, it depends on the time frame between specific vocal or conversational cues / signal vs. noise.

believe me when I say this for reasons I cannot go into,, but no it's not.

wow, red scare capitalist propaganda from wsj.

cool keep us updated

yikes, while your points about Dostoevsky’s views are worth discussing, proclaiming what is or isn't appropriate for this forum as though you're its arbiter seems presumptuous. surely we can engage without the obnoxious gatekeeping of the conversation...

who cares, I'll be dead by then. -- conservatives

duh

where's the thing to zoom into? it's just an mp4...

do you also run a comic book store?

you can't build a fledgling indie game dev business on broken trust. it's that simple really.

what do you mean they don't have restrictions?

blah blah blah
