Before remote work, some of my coworkers became friends, but most were just colleagues or cordial acquaintances. Working remote, the same. I've met a few in person and made and retained friends I've never met in person.
I think remote work is a cancer not because people secretly hate it, but because I think it continues the trend of isolating everyone from one another. There's a lot of great things that have come from the internet, but it's also brought about a deterioration of the social structure. We don't go out and see each other at the movies, at the mall, at the grocery store, at the restaurants, community events, or even chuch... we don't hang around the water cooler or the lunch room and talk about what was on cable TV the night before that the entire country watched. The kids no longer hang out together after school, they "hang out" online or get lost into their phones. But remote work is the choice of the employer and the employee, it's not something that can be forced either way from a authoritarian perspective.
And when you work for a large company with multiple offices across states and countries, you're going to be driving into a corporate office to get on Teams rather than getting on Teams from your home office.
I’m sure I don’t have much of an audience left, but working on a Bushi SFF blog revival. I feel the creative muscles have atrophied and there’s only one way to fix that..
I have the least amount of sympathy for the “people are too stupid and unimaginative to use AI as a tool” assertion, though many of the comments directed at me seemed to confirm it may be true.
I think adoption is going to take time, but will speed up as the AI improves. I played around with ChatGPT over a year ago and wasn’t super impressed with what it was at the time. Recently I’ve started using it for personal projects and research and man the utility is astounding.
I’m sure I’m not the first to make the observation, but pretty amazing to me that our AI technology seems pretty close to on par with the Star Trek computer in a lot of ways.
As I work on some personal projects with ChatGPT, I’m thinking of 90a and 2000s era Trek…
Generally pleased, but hope for Lufia they leave the graphics relatively intact. Took a pass on Suikoden because the updated stuff looks like it came out of a mobile port. Seems to be a common design choice these days and I can’t understand it.
