• My boss used AI for 2 hours to solve a problem I fixed in 10 minutes

    Boss spent TWO HOURS feeding prompts into AI, trying to figure out “how to cut a 52-inch piece of sandpaper down to 51 inches so it fits on the wide belt sander.”

    No joke two hours. The machine gave him all kinds of ridiculous ideas. Meanwhile, he gets frustrated and walks off.

    I grab a straightedge, slice an inch off in 10 minutes. Done.
    He comes back and gets MAD at me for not using AI.

    I don’t even know what world I’m living in anymore. Like… what’s the endgame here? Replacing common sense with ChatGPT?

  • Anyone dealt with something like this before? Is there a clever way to restructure this without nuking the SEO they’ve already built up?

    Thabk you

  • # Attractive long-term mates have an unexpected effect on women’s creativity – they are linked to lower creativity in women, and this drop was explained by heightened sexual arousal. However, men were more motivated to perform well after viewing attractive mates, which predicted greater creativity.

  • I recently ended a relationship and for the past couple of days I’ve been using ChatGPT (4o) as sort of an “interactive journal” in order to get insights of the whole shenanigans.

    After today’s “session”, I decided to watch a movie: the classic from 2013 “Her”. It took me less than 15 minutes to abhor this new AI reality.

    Sure, there are many benefits that we have reaped (and many more that we still haven’t gotten to) but I’m afraid it’s going to cost us a lot. Technology already made us more distant. Everyone is already stuck on their phones, TVs and whatever other source of entertainment you can think of. I’m afraid that spontaneous human connection is dying, just look at dating apps. And with AI it will get worse.

    I don’t want to live in a bubble of my own creation. I hate the algorithms. I want new experiences, new sensations, new feelings. I erased every convo and memory in ChatGPT and it still remembers. Yeah I know that according to oAI it takes a few days to reset, but it still feels weird.

    I’m amazed and scared at how easy it was to pour myself to a machine, an imperfect one at that. I see my younger cousins fully immersed in the AI experience, some of them have even called it “a great friend”. We’re getting lonelier every minute and we don’t even realize it.

    How do you handle this existential dread? I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.

  • I keep re-evaluating Web 3.0 every few months to check if things have become easier in this space. Brave was the easiest in this area, but I do remember having installed web extensions in Firefox, which apparently seem to have disappeared? The only extensions they do provide today are for Google Chrome. Am I missing something very obvious, or is this really how it is?
