Vaguely insulting to factory workers, first.

Second, much of the AI use is counter productive. Some of it is metrics chasing.

I really appreciate written words over video.

That post made me angry at how stupid the built environment is in most places.

Many people are terrified of being uncomfortable and confrontation

What an incredibly idiotic thing to do! Both of them thought it was okay to trust the lie machine with their lives! Darwin award candidates.

They don't say things because they believe them to be true. They say things for the effect they want it to have. They lie. Or maybe just bullshit, because they don't care about truth at all.

I find the people who are worst at thinking use AI the most.

I don't know what it does on Lemmy but I'm clicking the gold star on this reply

Generally speaking, snakes only attack when they feel threatened.

Well, a lot of conservatives feel threatened. The fear isn't justified, but it's real.

When I was a kid, I'd usually get As or B's. This other kid told me whenever he got an A, he'd get $20 each. I said to my mom, "why don't I get anything for my As?"

She said, "Because [other kid] is kind of stupid, so it's a big deal when he gets one"

This was not a satisfying answer.

I also remember in late middle school, we were in the computer lab (I'm old) given a sort of free form assignment to do something for whatever book we'd read. I made a basic little game in BASIC (I'm still old). Some kid wrote the book title in WordArt. The teacher gushed over it, and I got a "that's nice" for my fully operational game. Infuriating. Had a huge impact on my respect for authority and academic career, probably more than warranted.

My therapist tried to make me see the teacher's point of view. Kyle was always fucking up and off task, so rewarding him when he's not a fuckup for once must have felt like a big payoff. But I was always good, and she didn't really understand what I was going on about, so she didn't engage with it.

This is as much a movement as it's going to get. Peer to peer.

I know. People are an endless source of disappointment.

Refuse to pay. If we all just refused to pay, they would have to change.

But too many people don't care, so I guess we'll all just suffer.
