"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Sorry but you seem to be arrogant about how sociable other people naturally are. Good for you if you had many friends to do interesting things with and never felt bored, but I find it hurtful that you think not having those traits is to be shunned. You don't owe internet strangers entertainment, but is it such a crime that you need to rant about it decades after the fact?
Edit: Wording
The trait to be shunned in that is the trait of pushing your entertainment off on others.
When someone's entire engagement is "I'm bored", the unspoken follow-up is "entertain me". This generation loves to go on and on and on about "emotional labour". Well guess what: that unspoken "entertain me" is, get this, emotional labour.
Perhaps the people who say "I'm bored" should be told what I was told when I was single-digit aged: "There's no such thing as being bored, only being boring."
You're reading malintent into an innocent phrase. They could be subtly asking to be let in a friend group or just venting. There are many ways you could respond to such a sentence besides giving them entertainment.
If you don't have the slight bit of emotional availability to engage with them just don't. It's cringe to then go ranting about the time a boring person dared engaging with you and you stopped talking to them because you had so many friends.
