I am mentally burned out, I can’t read about one more ai model, i can’t read about one more surveillance, I can’t read about anything new anymore. Why can’t people just make a better battery? How about a nice sounding commercially available keyboard? I am exhausted of reading posts after posts after posts, anthropic released this master model, deepseek released this giga model, there’s a new surveillance system, new spyware, new processor, new gpu, new location software, then I avoid then people start to literally start to talk at me about how their favourite country is using their favourite technology, my peers will talk about American professors encouraging adoption of ai, my tech pilled comrades will talk about China teaching deepseek to kids in school, like of it was upto me, kids wouldn’t see a piece of tech till 5 and only get basic com sci at 6, literally please for the sake of God learn to live for a moment instead of constantly chasing the next big thing and let others live too. We don’t need more, we have more than enough in the world, this world is drowning in our garbage please let the world live and let people like me live. Please don’t drive us to death.
Hexbear is more anti “AI” than other places, but it’s disheartening to see some comrades fall for it. Definitely shouldn’t offload our cognitive abilities to the hallucinatory LLM just cause it’s FOSS (not really FOSS cause of the weights afaik) or China. And agreed, techbro new shiny thing consumerism is very pervasive
It’s not even just lemmygrad, hexbear, reddit, or school, it is just life, I turn on YouTube no matter what I am watching I get ads of a gpu that can run games 4k 60+fps, I am just existing with my phone but it will be filled with notification of how powerful this new mobile chip will be for smartphones, how powerful 6g will be, like man we went so much far but depression rates are at an all time high in every place you can imagine be it socialist or capitalist, maybe just maybe we need to overhaul global education system to not be competitive, create a world with less screens and algorithms tracking our every step, have less burden on kids, and center what animals do best in free time which is playing.
Use freetube, has no ads and sponsorblock, for mobile phone unless you can use lineageOS or have a pixel with grapheneOS, try using Universal Android Debloater and it will remove any kind of annoyances and spyware
