Question
In the ones who walk away from omelas
Are the ones who walk away from the ostensible dystopia meant to represent people who think “that’s super fucked, the least I can do is leave the utopia and find a better one” or powerless revolutionaries who leave to build a better society? Or none of the above
I know a Mormon who recently started working for doterra
Maybe they’re born with it
Aw man. I’ve never had an autism diagnosis, but the fact that some of these comments read like a foreign language confirms the fact that you don’t always need a professional diagnosis
It is reassuring to know that there are others who share the same struggle though (please show yourself in real life)
No lol !neurodiverse@hexbear.net i will be your audience of one at the very least, let er rip
Oh boy do I have a comm for you
And I’m all ears because I’ve thought the same thing, I’m very logic-oriented and sometimes I see someone call what I would say “something that ChatGPT would say”

This sounds useful
How do I learn to do it
Big structure person here, and the big companies I’ve worked for are very structure-oriented.
But some are almost Squid game-esque, meaning you could be doing everything correctly but have one off day and be terminated
Shit forgot the smaller companies, very chaotic and disorganized. I think it’s a failure from a leadership standpoint when you can’t at least try to have some organization, but smaller companies seem to be obsessed with “innovation” and “automation” at all costs.
And turns out if your leadership doesn’t know how to automate without prompting chatgpt, you’re going to miss out on all of this “productivity”
The vibe seems generally OK until you suggest that maybe people should just consume less
Perhaps if we all purchased/watched less slop, we might be able to take back the slightest control over our data-collected and surveilled lives?
I like to believe that there millions of people in the US who share my sentiment, maybe they overlap with non-voters as well
It’s still incomprehensible to me how many people are on the other side of this, just no thoughts whatsoever regarding the fact that consuming is just like fast food fulfillment for your conscious experience AND its overvalued to an absurd degree
Absolutely fucking blows
Very re-assuring and validating to see that the experience is not uncommon
I’m not good with adjusting to rapidly changing situations either. Like I truly had no problem keeping friends in my life from ages 8-18, then shit definitely hit the fan when my 20s came around. I’ve only ever been able to make friends on dating apps (won’t even get into how there are no third spaces) which has always felt uncomfortable 🥴
Really appreciate the kind and thoughtful response, comrade. Unfortunately however bittersweet it may be, that makes a lot of sense :( I fear for my future though because I’m not the best at picking up where we left off part, especially considering the fact that sometimes I forget people exist if I don’t hear from them for sometime you know?
There’s also the case of when I meet someone who is very closed off and a reflection of all the qualities that make me insecure about myself but has similar interests and a chill vibe. And usually the latter wins out because it keeps my attention longer than thinking about the reality of the former :/
It’s terrifying. I truly believe AI was never going to do any good in the hands of the public, and the fact that 
was able to release it without a challenge
We’re just simulating the wild Wild West at this point
Wow China not doing a holocaust on animals for taste pleasure? How dystopian and antithetical to our American society
What a breath of fresh air, just saw a tik tok from a college student telling kids they don’t belong in college if they can’t write an essay without chatgpt. The more I think about this extremely powerful and extremely unregulated tool, the more radical I become.
Glad to see that some young people’s brains haven’t been completely destroyed by the algorithm
Just putting words together. Buddy must have studied at the chatgpt academy!
You gotta be fucking me. Why did instagram take away the following tab? Never deleted an app so fast, absolute enshitified garbage at this point, bye to the 4 people I actually talked to I guess
Incredible things are happening in China
👎 company is now fully on-board the Microsoft sharepoint train, meaning there is a “Home” section where you can see the date and time each person in the sharepoint group edited or opened a file
Just finding new ways to do surveillance at job which is unequivocally bullshit lol
Need more tech decelerationists on the left
