Not ai or at any rate not ai alone. Some stuff just clicked for me wrt tech in the past 15 years.
Yeah well..I still stand by my general distrust of tech. If I got some things wrong due to apophenia, I still stand by other stuff, that perhaps didn’t directly apply but possibly somewhere.
I have never been sick. But I have been very distrait over contemporary. It’s that they are at least half telemarketer adjacent.
That’s everyone’s nightmare except for influencers and reality show stars - the kinds of people who don’t come up in any normal persons life except that odd bizarre VC and entrepreneur type of world. I am one of the last people to sign up for some sort of tacky next gen Apple Music and phone app. It’s my home. I don’t chase tacky fads. This is the one place I come to in order to avoid the output of those people from Si valley etc who grate on every last nerve I have. God knows I tried. I don’t like conflict or conspicuous scenes.
But with rare exceptions (high quality enough to not be kicked out as tacky and crass..I don’t want to be jfz9580m The Rube who is up for beta testing some awful and annoying thing).
We already have way too many connection technologies. I have zero interest in tech criticism blah blah. But seriously..my home is the one place I like to avoid crap I didn’t explicitly invite in which is rare.
That Black Mirror 15 Million Credits world.
I’d hate it. I have a streaming video service but it’s under my control. I don’t like the idea of AI agent type things just being decanted into ones space and..
Well anyway..I can see some use or coolness but I am still not one of Zuckerberg’s suckers. I have few apps on my phone and BirdNet is the only one that applies to the physical spaces in my yard.
I don’t some foul Pokemon go, angry birds VR basically mucking up wildlife rhythms or religious music..ambient Rivermind..again Black Mirror.
Epiphany I guess-like solving a puzzle with your unconscious mind in a way. I guess it’s kinda cool but then again it’s a mix. It’s not like the NiH or NIST or something anyone trusts. It’s these rando creepy tech companies that I don’t trust.
I don’t allow random crap in my house. I am not an oligarch. I have only my home and i don’t want random crap rearranging shit in my home according to the invariably tacky, creepy, unscientific and generally distasteful instincts of this tech environment.
No offense but the aesthetics alone repel me.
In my house I don’t want anything unscientific or generic anthropogenic crap strewn around. I kept my home a green space in an urban jungle for wildlife not so Angry Birds can be played by brainless morons. No offense to brainless morons ;-/.
