Another AI argument: "I'm studying Japanese and asked Claude to make flashcards based on the grammar points in my Japanese textbook, and it did in minutes what it would have taken me hours"

What if I told you that the act of making the flashcards is studying? When I went through the Naval Nuclear Program I went through a very similar process of making flashcards for all the things we would be tested on. I never actually had to use the cards. Making them was all I needed to do to sufficiently remember.

There is no way to optimize your way out of the learning process. It always takes the same amount of effort in the end.

We really need to stop letting the internet algorithms be in charge. I'm sick of bad things that drive clicks and views. I want boring good things.

Some folks find it confusing that there's a survival game called Rust and a programming language called Rust, but there's an easy way to remember.

If you get into Rust and there's a bunch of naked people running around killing each other with rocks, that's the programming language.

The most annoying thing about Breath of the Wild and open world games like it is you can't continue to explore the world after you beat the game.

Let me talk to NPCs who are like "oh, it's over?" Let me clean out monster bases that will never respawn now that the threat is gone. Let me enjoy the peace that all true warriors strive for!

Game devs got laid off but at least they still have a helping hand

Unsurprising that police tip rewards are in fact a scam that require jumping through all manner of hoops to collect. All the more reason to not snitch.

@thomasfuchs What's it called when you just edit prod files on the fly because it's just your tiny personal site and you're too out of touch and disorganized to operate any kind of web dev workflow.

@erincandescent @lori A site that definitely is in no danger of not persisting long-term.

@heatdeath The internet used to be something you had to sit down in one place to use and you could get up and walk away from the internet whenever you wanted.

But what content could possibly be the delight of so many very real people?

looks good to me

Wake up babe new genders just dropped

But the underlying problem still remains: The Internet is no longer a place for people to share themselves. Instead it's gradually becoming something to passively enjoy as algorithms feed you content to keep you engaged. Where that content comes from and who makes it is becoming less and less important, because there's no direct line from content creation to corporate profits.
