      What aspects of crypto have been integrated into everything?

      I think it's scam. Before crypto scam was in couple of places but now it's everywhere.

          Aigen or Aibstenant something for a term. Vegan is not right.

            I’ll just stick with calling myself “old man yelling at clouds” for the double meaning and so I’m not a vegan of any kind, thanks.

              It's a lead. Because they've already made vegans mockworthy

                No I'm a meat eater who is anti-car! I'm more getting at how people have latched on to the energy use of AI models without realising the huge energy usage that goes into their daily lives.

                Definitely a good point to raise; thanks for doing so!

                Here's a fun one - where do you stand on those forced to commute dur to housing prices near inner city work (e.g. I live in near poverty paying a mortgage for a small place near where I work due to poor public transport so I can walk to work - how does this figure into the anti-car vision? Is it an employer issue, a government issue, a personal sacrifice, or something else entirely?)

                        Calling them after a maligned (if harmless) group seems like a choice to paint refusing to use AI as being annoying, preachy and scorn-worthy.

                        They seem very determined to pressure people into using AI regardless of it's practicality, environmental impact, or anything. Fuck this shit.

                          There’s been recent pushes in that regard, investment in AI shit has been enormous but the financial payoff for anyone besides hardware manufacturers remains nonexistent. So investors and corporations have recently redoubled their efforts into trying to get everyone to use it in the hopes that this somehow will make them profitable.

                            AI is the new crypto. It will appear to die off but the aspects that work will be integrated into everything.

                            Wishful thinking. Crypto never got anywhere anyway. I am already seeing AI slop on billboards and all.

                            Crypto went as far as a YouTube ad for me. I am seeing everyday examples of AI use and generated slop.

                                When the technology really gets beyond human comprehension and people are just guessing and throwing shit at the wall (or billions and billions of dollars), I think it's a sensible position to be a luddite.

                                  Meanwhile i'm over here like I refuse to use them cause none of them are very good other than making me README markdowns or commit messages. that's all I use AI for now a days.

                                  It feels like, to me at least, they've gotten worse especially when you use them in your editor for completion. Github Copilot just spews out garbage and even claude code feels like it has gotten worse in the past few months.

                                    So I'm not the only one who refuses ro touch it?

                                    Around me and everywhere it's getting insane that it feels like there's literally no one who hasn't used it or use regularly for all kinds of shit.

                                    Search sucks and the AI is faster for tech questions. Try searching a Linux cli question or obscure error. Lots of stuff from over a decade ago that are no longer relevant. And you have to wade through so much to find the right one. Or type in AI wait a minute and get the answer.

                                          Sounds like you are not eating enough small rocks a day. You should eat 1 small rock a day.
