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.


I haven’t seen an ad in like, 5 years I think. DNS adblocking + uBlock, and just avoiding ad infested websites. I successfully kept people near me away from “AI” while contextualizing it as a part of the larger capitalist system while; while promoting grapheneOS and such, I think many people began seeing how better FOSS is than proprietary corps
Yeah that’s nice work!
Luckily I’m surrounded by tech students who are already quite tech literate so they don’t worship AI. I mean there was a phase where some students thought AI would overcome humanity in a few years but that hype died quick.
Tech students that aren’t techbros? Amazing… I did some time in uni last year and everyone loved LLMs in IT lol
My uni is way more focused on hardware development than software so that probably makes a difference.
Fair enough, sounds nice, I had to quit university cause it was a bunch of traumatic bs and was bad
