I do my best to avoid any AI marketing because I extremely despise it.
I just haven't quite decided on my new profession, yet, but it's either going to be with plants or with animals.

Really? I thought that this was common knowledge. On the other hand, my parents loved to quote Lewis Carroll at me and brother when we were growing up so perhaps this knowledge is not as universal as I imagine. “‘Twas a boojum!” was often used in conversation in my household when you expected one thing but discovered another (potentially dangerous) thing.
>Just turn notifications off. Just don't look at twitter/Facebook/tiktok. It's not hard to just not use the brain rot stuff. I get it you are addicted - I guess just be thankful it's not alcohol or cigarettes. Get help for your addiction.
That part is precisely the problem. "Just get help for your addiction" is not how anything works.
It's incredibly hard for an addict to stop using the brain rot stuff. A lot of very smart people make a lot of money making it as hard as possible.
Yep no one said it would be easy. It's hard for a smoker or drinker to get over their addiction too.
That's why you need help.
But you don't need to eliminate all forms of fermentation or combustion from your life to get over an alcohol or cigarette addiction. You don't need to eliminate all screens from your life to get over your tiktok addiction.
Arguably, and not to offend you, it is those very people who have significant ownership stakes and funding in (Not)openAI.
It's not like the people with more resources than in any time in human history aren't investing in and wanting AI to succeed for their selfish reasons to grow their own resources and influence more. So, yes, it can "do whatever it wants" as long as most people remain weak, subservient, and disempowered to hold accountable those who keep making these decisions negatively shaping the majority's world.
you exclude yourself from the possibility space of people who can act and do anything becasue you resign. so be it- that's your choice. create that reality you desire.
I refuse that reality though, and I accept that a majority including I will unite. Good luck to you.
Who has time to talk about billions in emoluments and pumping+dumping the American Economy to insider trade war news when we are subject to such calamitous fraud as a wet-behind-the-ears PhD getting overly enthusiastic in their grant proposal?
