    Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.

    The thing that was cool 5 years ago was at least cool once. AI has yet to be cool and it doesn’t look like it’s heading in that direction. Meanwhile it’s also taking a shitty economy and making it worse while enriching some of the worst humans alive.

    I will say, as an old and fat and gay millennial, Gen Z actually does make me optimistic with this trend I noticed of a lot of them rejecting newer tech and going more analog.

    I even know a few who tossed out their smartphones for dumbphones and some of my other Gen Z friends asked me for help on how to burn CDs.

    I dunno, with how bad things are these days, this is something that gives me hope.

      Millennials need to stick with supporting Gen-Z. I feel like as people start inheriting money, or choosing to use destructive tech like AI, the media is going to get better and better at dividing Millennials. Elder Millennials are most at risk of splitting off.

      I don’t want us to get to a point where Gen Alpha hates Millennials. Millennials are very good at rejecting media programming and trying to break systemic cycles, hopefully that’s our thing, and the next generations can steer the ship somewhere better than boomers did.

    How big asshole he is ? Guy thinks that he can say same things over and over and people won’t get sick of it. The product he sells is not work tool, it’s pop culture. The problem with pop culture is that it shifts to something else every 5-7 years.

    So RIP AI because time is ticking. Their product if it have not attracted enough people to survive will vanish in the next 1-3 years. Deal with it.
