I think the future is less digital, not more. Social media, internet connected devices, and soon AI brain rot, have caused immense damage to mental health, real life communities, and families. It’s not to say the tech is bad, I use it every single day. But I’m very conservative in how I use these things, mostly because I’m a highly skeptical person by nature. But most people can’t handle using it responsibly. I can’t use Facebook, instagram, or twitter myself. Every time I do, I get caught up in doom scrolling or some other sin that measurably impacts my well being. More and more normies are waking up to this and reducing their exposure. I don’t see people integrating tech even further with AI glasses or the like.

Big auto companies struggling to sell their EVs is the perfect example of why government subsidies aren’t just ineffective, but harmful. Thousands of people are losing their jobs because there is nowhere near enough organic demand for these vehicles. The market completely shifted to building these awful multi ton boxes of software when Americans just want cars that work and are affordable!

Robots should be built to solve specific problems, not to imitate humans.

There is nothing more cringe than an LLM model that has clearly been trained to flatter you and try to make you feel brilliant.

Public school is straight up hostile to parents. We made the mistake of enrolling our son in kindergarten and they’re constantly harassing us about one thing or another. Today was our first official day of homeschooling and he’s already doing way better.

Power has been out for about 14 hours 🙃 Guess I’ll fire up the generator.

I guess I should turn my lottery miner back on lol

Tuttle twins books are so based. Love reading them to my son.

I installed Omarchy today. There’s definitely a learning curve, but it’s pretty fantastic.

Sports gambling is so gross. I’m not sure I agree it should be illegal, but it being legal comes at MASSIVE costs. Not just scandals like the one being reported today, but also men ruining the financial lives of their families.

Imagine being a boomer and still being broke. They literally lived through the easiest time in history to get rich, and so many still fumbled the bag.

Not gonna lie, I’m disappointed in how Alby responded regarding this password reset “incident”. I think deflecting blame to public breaches is a very risky move when others have clearly shown that email addresses are being leaked by your service. But, I’ll say from experience, incident response is hard. Like, really hard.
