  • My wife opens Facebook on my phone a lot because shes nosy. Last time I opened my phone and it was already open. I scrolled for about 2 minutes waiting to see if anything would interest me, nothing did. Eventually it came up with a real person’s name and I realised I wasnt on reddit.

    Took it fucking ages to do the one thing I would want it to do.




  • Absolutely it is. Thats where we got the phrase “kicking them upstairs” from. Promote the useless guy to a position where they can’t actually do any damage.

    If AI succeeds in replacing a lot of those “positions”, we’re going to face a tsunami of idiots.

    Theres good reasona for luddite behaviour “they tuk er jerrrbs” style. Theres good reasons for environmental impact. Theres good reasons for fear of privacy, and cyberpunk dystopian overlords forming, and possibly terminators, and anger over theft of intellectual property etc, the fact that you didnt ask for it and its happening to you anyway, the effect its having on the hardware market for home computers/gaming, the fact that its not actually reliable yet.

    Theres a lot going on in that space.

    You’re right though its pretty incredible, and im still impressed by it, but I dont want to use it because i know it’ll be wrong a lot of the time. The only thing I’d want to use it for is to help me with things I dont know, and in that space I dont know that its doing it wrong. Either I blindly trust it and fuck up my project, or I research everything myself as well to make sure its right and at that point why bother?



  • Different parents have different sensibilities i guess, and different books have different contexts. I’m not very well read in this field at all, but at the beginning of one of the Tiffany Aching series of Discworld books, a subseries wrote specifically for young adults, a 13 year old side character gets beaten by her drunken father into a miscarriage after he found out she had a boyfriend and the main character has to bury the remains and saves the father from hanging himself.

    Most of the series are Harry Potter level magic and adventure, but that was pretty shocking and I’d be a bit wary letting my 12 year old read that.
