Millennials are the last generation that will have the experience of living in a world before and after the advancement of internet. We know what it was like before everyone was connected. I sometimes wonder if the way I feel about AI is similar to the way boomers felt about the internet. Will the new generation make fun of me for complaining about the old days?

i didn't have even access to electricity in my childhood, can you imagine

I can’t lol

😳….. respect🫡🤌🏽⭕️

…. I only go back as far as affluent families only having one car🤔…and a lot of people having party lines for telephone service…dialing only 5 numbers on the rotary phones to call someone…and ashtrays on your chair arm in airplanes (that was before W Bush ruined air travel with TSA)🤔🤷🏽‍♂️

Can’t believe boomers let the feds ban cigs on planes yall are the worst generation 🤭

😂….it wasn’t my mom I promise you😳😂😂🤦🏽‍♂️

She was also a boomer….im ackshully close….depends on whose generational line you use….ive seen myself on both sides in different articles

Just depends on who they’re gaslighting that day lol

you don't have to good ser.

a lot of Chinese people were like me, 20, 30 years ago we had absolutely no idea what life's gonna lie ahead, even tho no one was feeling painful or poverty.

then it's like miracles happening every one is getting everything and getting used to urban lives.

Peeple are so convinced quality of life is better with all these baubles and massive personal debt/manipulation🤔

…but my grandpa and his generation (who as children mostly road in horse pulled wagons) sure looked pretty happy in their few pics

…also seemed like they were more connected with their neighbors, family, country and God

…and maybe most importantly they understood right from wrong, taking care of each other and had purpose in life 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️🌅

That’s because all propaganda was centralized 😂🤭

Tru….but I’m not sure the incentives were as misaligned 🤔🤷🏽‍♂️⭕️🌅

100%. modernized life != more peace of mind

We will for sure be worse than the boomers

I use AI sometimes so maybe not as bad but still pretty bad

🤔😂😂…I’m every way😳🤭😂🤣🫂⭕️

It's bad enough that Zoomers don't even have the memory of having to make things work. When I bought Quake 3 Arena at the store it took hours before I had the drivers, patches, and DirectX installed just to play the game. To say nothing of battling Linux in 2000.

Seeing how my kid interacts with technology is frankly worrying. They're digitally native all right, that seems to mean for many they know as much about tech as fish know about water.

It’s pretty crazy to think about. I’ve seen toddlers that can’t even walk grab a phone and scroll TikTok then swipe away notifications and decline phone calls to continue scrolling. They know where the app is and how to open it. Wild times.

It's weird to think about being from the "time before".

Weirdly enough, I find AI quite normal. I don't feel threatened by it or worried about it at all.

Maybe I'm being too gullible, or nonchalant about it.

I’m not threatened by it. I don’t believe that AI is sentient or aware. It won’t take over humanity or anything. But I’m worried about its effect on humanity. People are already insanely retarded. Outsourcing more of the little critical thinking left to AI could be dangerous.

Remember the prophecy tho... ⭕️👀

The prophecy? 👀

Refresh my memory

That's true, many will find it convenient to let the machine think for them. They'll be the same people collecting their cbdc ubi payment, and living life oblivious.

I really think bitcoin is freedom tech for people that want to be free. People that are willing to struggle for freedom. Bitcoin isn’t saving sheep because sheep can’t be saved. They are sheep. They are doomed to subjugation.

Ask nostr:npub132ny9cnwv5rjzw0ppk6ev34gn2n48zjejed2k0kcjxgawxt86mps7f9u95 about the time before electricity.

Candlelight is actually very healthy & good for the eyes/soul.

Fake news. Stacey can’t see for shit.

🤨🤭😂😂

😳😂…we were just better damnit🧐😂😂😂🫂⭕️

It's cute that Stache is pretending to be born after 1965 😂

👌😂😂😂👌

I’ve seen the line of demarcation vary from 1962-1965🤷🏽‍♂️

I don’t make the rules🤔….i just enforce the MFs😳😂😂🤣🤣🫂🤷🏽‍♂️⭕️

Stache enforces the rules. He's a fed!

2nd confirmed in the ⭕️

He a fed! he a fed! he a fed!

😳🤨….mcd looks like we’s gotta find us a new ⭕️🤦🏽‍♂️🤌🏽

What’s this “we” shit white boy.

The "we" means he wants something done, but doesn't want to do it himself. Stache is showing himself as a boomer, not a Gen Xer 😂

By saying “we”, he’s also trying to reduce accountability by putting the burden on someone else.

Do better Stache 🤭

A fed AND a commie?! 🧐🤔🤣

Oh no! 🤣

Justin’s dad!

Surprised he edited out the part with miss T on all 4s😳😂😂😂⭕️

Your former commander in memes

It's too bad he was replaced by his commander in chief. I'll miss him

I wonder what he’s up to?

Yoga maybe

A stack of NDAs & Grindr, likely

His wife did leave him. 👀

Who wouldn’t?

Before politics he had

-wife

-kids

-career

After politics he has

-kids every other weekend

-everybody hates him

Describe Canada is one picture 👆

Shawinigan handshake was top tier Canada. I wonder if Carney can do a choke hold to a protester…. 🤭

Our commander in memes can’t do that

🤔yeah maybe….but it’s just a stepping stone🤨….i really eyeing tyrant🧐🫡😂😂

😳😳😳🤨🤨🤨🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣

Classic boomer move

It was a brilliant play. His only move really.

This is how I win most arguments.

Just refuse to play

You guys don’t even know how to use a printer 😂

This is ackshully factually correct😖🤨😂😂

Chill man

We invented those pieces of shits.

More reason to hate gen x. Printers are so trash they barely ever work and they always need more ink 😂

I like printers. 🖨️

Digital sucks. Touch some paper.

Paper receipts disrupt your hormones and lower testosterone. Only a ghey generation would invent something like that.

I'm pretty sure no one does. Printers work when they want to work. They're the unionized worker of the computer that goes on strike once in a while to throw a tantrum.

So they’re the boomers in the tech world built by gen x. What a weird timeline, life must be a simulation.

As for the prophecy, ⭕️ will bait AI to enter into a hell thread and then let it fry itself in an infinite loop trying to solve a retarded quest. Or something like that, the oracles have difficulty reading the timeline this late at night.

We definitely broke the other AI on nostr

Takes a while to accept this

I believe it’s true but my actions still are not aligned with it

You don't want to give up especially on the sheep you care about

Can you ever really save a sheep? I think their best shot is to suffer so much that they break free from being sheep. Saving or helping them isn’t doing them any favors in the long run

That was my path and probably yours. Pain is the best teacher but most will just medicate the pain away with a vice instead.

Pain was not my path. It was part of my path but not the main factor. Maybe I’m unique but I had someone redpill me when I was finishing up college. He gave me the information and pointed me in the direction to find the information. I went down the rabbithole and went further than he did. I would’ve found the truth but I needed to know where the rabbithole was first. Once I found out what the problem was, it was only a matter of time until I found the solution. When I explain the problem of central banking to normies, most acknowledge that it’s bad but they never do anything about it. We are not like them.

See why did you go down the rabbit hole when everyone else in the same situation doesn't bother

I’m different. I don’t trust other people to place my best interest at heart. I don’t trust that other people are necessarily more intelligent than me. And I don’t trust retards in power. I choose to take control of my own life and take responsibility for the good and bad that happens to me.

But why tho. Why do you have this discernment and almost all others don't. Why are you not a sheep when it is much more likely on average you should be.

Million dollar question. Maybe we are the genetic anomalies. If these traits gave us a better chance to survive then maybe evolution would weed those sheep out of the gene pool.

I think we're the ones who left the tribe looking for better lands while the sheep stayed. It's not safe for all the sheep to take this risk all at once so we do it and the sheep eventually follow if we survive.

That’s how most of human history looks. A few people make these discoveries or invent something that changes the world. The masses benefit without contributing to those discoveries.

Yes, it's hard pill to swallow, but likely very true.

Mic drop.

First of all nostr:nprofile1qqsg678njqapkuyvwa5kup7j7jgxteujhqcgy4ne4ajsxy7z6v3nxuqpzdmhxue69uhhwmm59e6hg7r09ehkuef0qyg8wumn8ghj77npwqh8wct5vd5z7qfpwaehxw309aex2mrp0yhxcetcd9hxwar0de3xjarrda5kutn0wfnj7ruzpmc, I wouldn't anger the gods before a flight. I'm more and more inclined to think that planes fly because of the passengers' mood rather than lift and whatnot.

Am I making the tech gods angry? 👀

People seem to take more readily to it than I would like to see. I have this curmudgeonly attitude toward it. Like, I think it would be better if AI only taught people to go out and learn to create things on their own, instead of doing it for them.
