I hate AI. I'm so sick of it.

I read a story about 14 year olds that are adopting AI boyfriends. They spend 18 hours a day in conversation with chatbots. Their parents are worried because they are withdrawing from school and losing their friends.

I hate second guessing emails that I've read, wondering if my colleagues are even talking to me or if they are using AI. I hate the idea that AI will replace my job.

Even if it unlocks "economic value" -- what does that even mean? We'll live in fucking blade runner but at least we'll all have a ton of money?

I agree, nobody asked what I wanted. But if they did I'd tell them, I don't want it, I don't want any of it.

Excuse me, I'll go outside now and play with my dogs and stare at a tree.

I'm just hoping for a huge solar flare to reset this once and for all.

Billions will die from starvation and conflict in that future. Be careful what you wish for.

Billions will die from starvation and conflict in a world where we deploy trillions of dollars to increase electricity usage for AI data centers but nowhere near the same amount of capital to decarbonize electricity production, which we can already do with existing technology. This is the world we live in now.
