    Remember when the internet was treated like AI when it first dropped? People up in arms about internets influence on young people/kids.

    This all seems really familiar.

      Honestly low-key technophobia has always been a major sentiment in otherwise tech-focused parts of the internet and it has always fascinated me.

        The new thing about this new technology is that it’s taking our jobs away without creating any new ones. I fear the day some stupid higher up decides that a chatbot can do a better job than me.

      I mean they were right about the internet. The corporations turned most of it into a cluster of competing megamalls that make people anxious while selling them things.

      Never mind that even just open a port 443 anywhere in the world will open you up to roving bands of OC scrapers, which feed the next evolution of corp power.

      It’s not like a bunch of basement nerds made LLMs and now corps are trying to muscle in (like with the internet). This new technology is theirs, from its R&D to now its aggressive rollout across all sectors of the Internet they control.

      I don’t have much hope for the commercial AI or LLM services that are available to most consumers. I think they’re going to enshittify so bad that we’re going to need a new word for it.

        What kind of selfish, emotionless psychopath do you have to be to legitimately think that libraries being unused, forgotten, and closed is a good thing?

        You ever thought about this: maybe if you visited your library in person more often, you’d actually have more friends.

          I never said that.

          All I’m saying is just because The Internet caused library use to plummet doesn’t mean Internet = Bad.
