How does a 30-something even find something to share with a 18-year old? What could there even be in such a relationship apart from the obvious domination?

Yes, post-truth slop always has this bitter aftertaste. Big ass bullet list with talking points and links, and you know the pusher has been groomed with counter objections etc… exact same methodology as the alt right pipeline.

This seems about right. Anecdotally I never learned as much as I do since I use AI. It’s crazy good at explaining stuff with exactly the angle you require according to your level and learning style.

I’ve done some hardware hacking, built my own Linux distro for a project, got way better at administering my home server.

The most fun I’ve had is to try and locate the rights to an obscure science fiction short story for a podcast I want to make. This led me to contact a few editors, library archivists, and a couple of noted literature professors. Genuine fun and connections, with the AI helping me navigate mountains of information, the legal aspects and also the cultural differences between the US and UK publishing scenes.

All of this is just in the last few months, it would have taken me years pre-ai or more realistically I would have given up before getting anywhere.

Didn’t you hear? Elon announced the total collapse of the baking industry within the next 6 months.

Recently finished a side project and I was glad I could go with pure login/pass auth. No email no oauth, just a pass phrase for account recovery. It’s refreshing and so damn simple.

Also cinema is so old that nothing new happens. The same problem occurred in the 30s, 50s, etc… each time needing a “new wave” to break the execs out of their trance.

Yeah people will only consume content that had been marketed to them then turn around and complain that no original stuff is being made :'(

It’s funny cause I’m old enough to remember the exact same thing being said during times that are now considered a golden age.

Interestingly, Roots was inspired by the first nu-metal albums, especially Korn’s first album. That’s crazy to me and i would have guessed it was the other way around.

I mean what’s the point of morging if you’re gonna do it intermittoucly?

I don’t know about other bands but the bit about iron maiden is really stretched.

I guess if you consider the first lineup to be the one for their first concert in a bar’s basement, alright. But if you take the first album, Dave Murray was already in the band and still is.

testing is doubting
