The only generation that knows how computers work is also the most relaxed about AI:

"sex positivity" is a zombie reaction against sexual mores that haven't actually existed since the 19th century that continues to be perpetuated by children, adults who never got past adolescent hangups, and people who make money selling sex
it is not a serious evaluation of what sex is or what it means so much as a thought terminating cliche deployed to excuse misbehavior
this is way funnier than it has any right to be

AI is cool and badass. I like it.
No, it's not the end of the world. We can "contain" it.
Now I will rant for a moment about what I dislike about AI.
I strongly dislike when large corporations try to inject AI into every product, essentially forcing us to use AI.
I also strongly dislike when people use AI for every small little thing in their life, such as leaving comments on websites like Xitter, YouTube, Reddit, etc. It defeats the entire purpose of leaving a comment on something... you're supposed to share YOUR thoughts, not an AI agents generated string output. It's goofy.
I also strongly dislike the nonsense blabbering of AI propaganda, how it will destroy the world, or how companies need to "contain it", essentially acting as means to corner the AI model market, trying to strip it away from individuals who may want to host it locally. It's a facade of "Only WE can do AI, not YOU", whilst charging absurd fees for usage.
I also dislike AI nerds who try to tell me to use AI to do things I do simply because I enjoy doing them. Yes, maybe an AI agent could reverse engineer faster than me, or code faster than me, but I do it because I enjoy it.
AI is an excellent tool to enhance work flows, or learn (assuming it doesn't hallucinate).
Okay, that's all I want to say about AI for today.

bluesky rocks dude. i have given thought to this argument, though.
like, an agent largely wrote the code, but i don’t think that really matters? in the case of slop, i would argue the world would be better off without it. i think the world is better with this project existing.
if this was going to exist at all, it was going to be with AI assistance because reversing and emulating PMICs is so beyond my paygrade as a designer. and hiring someone to do it by hand was never on the table. the alternative is this not existing at all
I built Light Touch, a full-featured iPod touch 2G emulator for Mac. Networking + Wayback Machine proxy, GLES/3D games support, a built-in app store via legacystore.app, rotation, screen capture, the works. Have fun github.com/samhenrigold/Ligh…

Discord is hell. There used to be all kinds of self-hostable forums and message boards and CMSs and you could host IRC and be free. Now it’s all locked tight behind a corporate-controlled webslop app whose contents aren’t even indexed by search engines, and they can ban you for bullshit reasons and demand your ID and suck out your soul.
I want one

i think its reasonable to oppose ai safety because you believe the people who are declaring themselves in charge of ai safety are misaligned and the last thing in the world you want is for them to be the architects of your future

Never once have I ever wanted to be a kid, including when I *was* a kid.
Something is going wrong when young people see only the risks and responsibilities of adulthood and not its delicious possibilities.
