This is really how I've started to live life, and it's also how I approach solo travelling. No one can stop me from going, and no one can make me do things I don't want to when I'm by myself.

It does work well.

However, I'm not even 40 yet, but the idea is still the same.

He really is a weird creature.

To be honest, I thought they already required that. They just want to keep killing their site, but people refuse to switch over to Lemmy, so niche communities only remain on Reddit and Discord. It's very disheartening. People are morons. There, I said it.

Yes, definitely. I'm afraid that AI is going to keep advancing and companies will keep laying off even more employees then I get laid off and then I'm out of work and unable to find my next job. I've already been laid off once before and it already took me half a year to find a new job and that was even before the explosion of AI. I'm also afraid my shingles infection pain isn't going to go away and I'm going to be stuck with long-term nerve pain, despite my relatively young age, because I started antivirals like 168 hours after onset of symptoms because I was almost misdiagnosed twice in a week.

Yes, plenty of things to be afraid of, I think that's part of being an adult.

AI is very harmful to the environment, it destroys communities because of data centers, it killed the price of gaming and consumer computing, and it's being used to layoff a shit ton of people.

I use AI daily for my job because it's required, and I do use it outside of work too, but it's too powerful, too dangerous, and I wish it didn't exist. The way companies abuse it in the name of profit is too damaging for our world.

I don't necessarily think that's even techbros, it's CEOs/management ruining it. They're trying to bleed water from a stone, and they're killing the planet to do it without giving a snigle fuck.

Well yeah, they say that data centers create jobs just so that it sounds like a good idea to people. Thankfully, people are starting to realize just how horrid data centers and AI is for the environment and daily life etc. I say that as someone who uses AI for work daily, and unfortunately I do find AI useful outside of work too...

How can something be a fact if it's incorrect?

If they release server software required to run online games, they indeed can last forever.

Spooder-Man is a diabolical name.

It's my understanding that it's more of a last case scenario kind of thing, like, most guys don't want to have surgery on their penis and it can also have complications too.

That's true too, there is a cumulative effect.

I guess I'm a shitty person then because I use AI (even outside of work where I'm chosing to use it and not forced to use it), although I guess shitty people can still do good things so maybe it's not all bad.

I do get it though, the way AI is being used, the way companies abuse it to replace employees and layoff thousands, tens of thousands, etc, and the environmental impact AI has from the sheer scale of it is destroying the environment is all terrible and indefensible, but ultimately I find it too helpful for me to go without using it.

True, but paying a company $20 a month versus paying a company $200 or $2000 or $20000 or $200000 or $2000000 a month are all vastly different numbers.
