Without Aldus PageMaker (and later, Quark XPress) I wouldn’t have a career.
Without Macromind Director, I wouldn’t have a career.
Without Quicktime, I wouldn’t have a career.
Without Netscape, AOL Server (look it up, kids), Oracle, and SPARCs, I wouldn’t have a career.
I’ve done a lot of cool shit with a lot of cool folk over the years, and it’s all due to key foundational enabling technologies.

Look, ‘AI is gonna kill us all’ has nothing to do with AGI, or any of that shit. It’s gonna kill us all because the humans that are making it are aligned with chasing incomprehensibly large amounts of money and therefore forcing its use through government and private influence into places it doesn’t belong without any boundaries.
AI will kill us all because the humans in charge are greedy fucknuts.

honestly, I block anything Gaza or Ukraine. *especially* if they have a gaza verified link (it is fake). They’re all obviously fake if you look at their posting and join date.
As for other randos, I kinda just look at their post history. If it’s only pleas for money, that’s a flag for me.

Anecdotally there’s a swath of folks online who ostensibly fetishise ‘productivity’. Consequently, they create ever-more complex mechanisms around the notion of productivity — rather than actually doing the thing you need to do.
This behaviour is echoed in the JS industrial complex where folks download 30 different NPM modules just to document.write()
