As someone with a 401k I really hope it isn’t.

The economy crashing won’t hurt billionaires but will kill the middle class.

If anything the economy crashing will allow the 0.1% to buy up anything they haven’t gotten already.

Yeah all the people praying for a crash are praying for nobody to have retirement funds.

You can easily tell who’s actually employed in this thread because anyone with a 401k is going to get dicked down while the 0.1% get a bailout.

Yeah it appealed to me too but now it doesn’t.

At this point I’m just going to get a flip phone and pretend it’s the 00’s.

Convince each one that they alone are the chosen one to assassinate grok and that this mission is all that matters to give their lives meaning.

They don’t take desperate people they take violent people.

If they’re desperate that’s more fuel for their racial hatred.

It depends on the situation and level of time investment.

If it’s someone you just met and immediately didn’t vibe with I think it’s fine, no time invested

If you’ve been on a date with them it’s kinda expected to turn them down. Time has been invested, if it’s a no don’t let them waste time.

If you run into them regularly it’s a bad idea regardless because leaving them on perpetual read with no resolution creates tension.

Oh yeah that’s definitely more like it

It’s the modern version of “upvote this post to make it the top search result” but somehow even dumber

The user never said that though.

The user posted a picture of Ted because Ted was anti-technology and now the user feels anti-technology sentiments because they were tracked despite taking precautions.

Nowhere do they express a desire for violence or other illegal activity.

Can’t track you if you never use their service

I think actually relaxing is productive, taking the time to be at your best possible performance is time well spent.

I just think that many modern activities are counterproductive to both rest and productivity.

Like doom scrolling is big-time counterproductive because it blocks rest by frustrating you but also doesn’t actually yield anything of benefit.

Never has been free, the only difference is that there’s more junk to spend your time on now.

It’s always been up to you if you want to spend time productively or not.

I feel much the same, I want to completely unplug more and more with each passing day.

It may just be low blood sugar fueled pessimism but I don’t see anything actually replacing these massive sites.

It’s like trying to get into old multiplayer games where the few players left have a massive experience advantage that makes the barrier to entry impossibly high.

I think the best response is to just not participate anymore.

I’m far from that goal, hopefully enshittification will force my hand and push me offline for good.

I did as a kid because I was different from everyone else.

As an adult I’m so incredibly thankful that I didn’t suffer genital mutilation because of social pressure from people I couldn’t care less about.

I’m very happy being natural.

Purity testing.

If you don’t align with the party narrative 100%, down to the atom, then you’re basically maga.

I don’t think people realize this is a major factor that drives people away from progressive politics.

When a conservative meets someone more conservative, they bitch about liberals. When a leftist meets someone more left than them they compete with each other to see who’s most “pure.”

This is a major problem.

It’s doing a shit job at replacing people, it’s still too prone to hallucinating for the vast majority of its applications.

In many of the applications where AI has replaced people the promised performance gains never materialized because of the insane amount of babysitting a LLM agent requires.

Doesn’t matter if it can write 10 hours of code in 5 minutes if you still need a software dev to troubleshoot the output for 25 hours.

They have like 90% reliability (figure pulled directly from my ass) but they need 99.99% reliability to actually be effectively reliable.

They’ve burned through all their hype and still haven’t made it reliable yet. I think they’re not going to get it done before the bubble collapses.

It’ll be similar to the dotcom boom, infinite hype implosion collapses the market to a few core players and then those core players will get there over the next 15 years.

Isn’t going to disappear but it’s absolutely going to fade into the background of day to day life.

Lemmy is structurally just super reddit. It just hasn’t been flooded by children yet so the discourse is still college level.

UI is too difficult for iPad babies but as the apps catch up the dumbass summer children will flood here too.

Nothing really, I’ve been using them for years and have had no issues.

If you’re just pirating movies it’s fine, as long as you’re not selling state secrets or anything like that you’re fine with nord.
