Future.

Scratch to Reveal

I'm sure there's a reason.

I'm confident I'd hate it if I knew what it was.

The younger generations are not getting dumber.

They're scoring poorly on tests measuring skills we say are important, as the people making the tests. The younger generations are doing what they do. They're getting better and better at navigating the world that they've been given to navigate. Not the pretend world we're testing for.

Narcissism, immediate gratification, pacification, credulity, hell, gambling ... those are the skills we're demanding of them with our actions.

The next generation will be better than us, just like we were better than our parents, at coping with the world we have put them in. No matter how fucked up that world is.

That we have put them in a world that does not reward or value creativity, deep thought or connection is 100% our failing, not theirs. They're not stupid, we are. It's it's fucking unconscionable.

I worked for Avery a million years ago and completely botched my time in that job, losing me that opportunity and subsequent opportunities bound with his future projects. And I will regret it until the day I die.

I hate him. I hate him so much because he says really insightful things. He says just boringly because he's talking and he feels like talking at that moment. It's exhausting. It's exhausting to have had access to temporarily someone that smart and to no longer have access to them really and then to continue to be like taunted by their intelligence from afar.

What a dick. What a dick. I hate that fucking guy.

In an interview I saw on LinkedIn. That I will not go find because I don't even know how you reference content on LinkedIn and I would never do that to my website. But he mentioned, in effect, Jevons Paradox in the context of AI reducing the cost of software development, or software developers rather, that are going to exist. And it's so obvious.

I honestly have not heard anyone speak about or reference this specific phenomenon in this context before. And yet it's obvious. And right in your face. And how is this not being talked about more? This is completely reframed the way I think about the way that AI is invading the space that I work in.

Fuck this guy, honestly.

There's a connection to Prometheus to be made here, by a smarter person.

I mean the mediocre movie. (Better than mediocre, I shouldn't be reductionist). I mean, the real Prometheus also, and probably more meaningfully. I mean, neither of them are real. There's no real Prometheus.

Like, probably someone was named Prometheus, so there's a real one, but I don't mean that guy. Could be a woman. I don't mean him or her. Or they.

So, the most recent, and historical Prometheus' could probably be connected. There's no doubt a lot of historical Prometheus'.

Holy fuck. Here's an animated gif.

Here's some RennsReviews. AI has Ruined Everything.

Let the stupidity keep rolling, baby.

There's a new model. Why wouldn't I let it reproduce the same game made by mistake by the same DJ? Sort of. Not really the same. Kind of.
