My first impulse was to be sarcastic, but I don’t want to demean people who make a livelihood doing this. But it does make sense that the work most immediately threatened by “AI” may be the stuff that already felt like AI because it was being made to please an algorithm. https://mas.to/@carnage4life/110837325497553381
Same cute animation of doing the search, but then it actually visits the SEO spam pages one by one, maybe selecting choice bits of text and displaying sarcastic memes.
The 2023 version of LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com should be GreatIdea-LetsTryGooglingIt.com.

Less than a month til the state officially recognizes me as a Wife Guy

nostr:npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk In matters of oppression and similar, it's immoral and puts one fully on the side of oppression and other evils.
In less dire circumstances, it may be allowable.
nostr:npub1jppcsq73ezvldj33yxhs8nlddd7utzmu62yyq5cwjxzyysqpxcqqu5euxz Agree. The trouble is discerning the grey areas. I try to hold myself to a high standard.
This was gonna be a longer thread but mercifully for all of us, I got interrupted. Maybe I'll continue it later!
But I also think there are some virtues to all this, and I'm gonna own that too. The trick is discerning the difference. Honestly I am not sure I know how. Oh well, I guess, more fuel for the navel gazing and handwringing!
I have the personality of a liberal. I own this. I avoid conflict and I want people to get along. I try to understand everyone’s point of view. I navelgaze — including in this very post — and make decisions by weighing guilts. I’d rather everyone be happy, even if the wronged don’t get their due. I know this is a bit childish. I know some of it is the product of privilege, and some comes from trauma. Intellectual awareness helps me compensate for these biases, somewhat.
Thinking about the ethics of not picking a side.
Ah, all the lovely things I so quickly forgot about mask wearing are coming back to me now: the sweaty ear loops, the smell of your own sneeze…
… still beats covid.
nostr:npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk nostr:npub1hcc5kv2zwcnlwdthxru8cf8avcetpet86n9ymtgpm897dvml6wwsgk4xws there's an bot that will remind you: @ remindme
Just mention it in a reply to one of the posts. For instance, you could say, "@ remind me 2 days" and if you want it to dm you the reminder then say, "@ remindme dm 2 days"
Would that help?
nostr:npub1santejagssvugn3fcgdv9u94z6w37dukpwfwucqlcqluffw7n7uqv5vglw nostr:npub1hcc5kv2zwcnlwdthxru8cf8avcetpet86n9ymtgpm897dvml6wwsgk4xws Thanks - I recently discovered this myself! I’m actually referring to group chats on Signal and Whatsapp and whatnot, though. Frankly, if they worked like this, I’d be very happy!
nostr:npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk I think this is the majority experience tbh. Quasi hot take but I don’t think it was worth leaving X completely unless one or more of the following applied :
* you were getting lots of right-wing abuse
* you were foregoing all corporate social media
* you were trying to improve your mental health
Seems like many people found that none of the would-be replacements were active enough or sufficiently insulated against X-esque problems (eg, the bad moderation on Bluesky)
nostr:npub1hzxzusfa6nvfwvnpxp9vyc60sfm5rr5y0cr66egvvds06gywh23qtkr4fr Hmm…. yeah, I’m in category 3. I had already mostly quit.
nostr:npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk what about turning off all motivations for it? check at will?
nostr:npub1hcc5kv2zwcnlwdthxru8cf8avcetpet86n9ymtgpm897dvml6wwsgk4xws Then it’s the “forget it exists” problem. Maybe I should try a daily reminder.
Ok we really need to invent ways to keep up with group chats that aren’t stressful af. I mute it and I forget it exists. I unmute it and I’m bombarded, and my blood pressure goes up like 20 points.
nostr:npub1mdky0njswyvy6esxh964apx9e6mmwt8am4wuqk3ds5p4xyaav2dqvlaptk I haven’t logged on in months. It’s not just that it’s dead to me, but I don’t want to know which personal friends are still on it
nostr:npub106xske3m5agd7kejzpas24attqry73g2u00wqmjseacumqgtmn4s3382ve Oof, that's real.
