This sounds like something that would piss off Roger Waters

You’re right, that’s true. Maybe social media probably wasn’t the best example on my part, lol

My point still stands though, yes, a lot of the time new tech is embraced by young people, but a lot isn’t and AI is one of those times. Survivorship bias makes us forget all of the new toys that didn’t catch on. Especially as capitalism enters it’s later stages and enshittification makes these products low quality earlier and earlier on

Then you have the recent(ish) problem of the market starting to try and invent new tech for the sole purpose of being an investment for wealthy people, like NFTs and the Metaverse. Sometimes they’re not even trying to make something useful, they’re just making something and hoping if they convince everyone hard enough it will become the next big thing

I think humans have a habit of thinking that the way things have been during their short lives is a cycle that has been happening forever, but the capitalism of today is very different than the capitalism of 20 or even 10 years ago, I think young peoples skepticism of AI is just one sign of that

I guess I’m just trying to say is technological progress is more complicated and unpredicable than markets like to pretend it is

Also every time you see me delete a comment it is the poop joke. You’ll never catch me though.

No it was really embarrassing you never want to see it

How easy to be against the platonic ideal of a bad thing

I’m not sure what you mean by this. It absolutely isn’t easy to be nuerodivergent and be against ableism, I assure you. If you’re saying what I think you’re saying, you’re no better than the type of chud who accuses people of only being against transphobia for virtue signalling reasons. Sorry if I’m misunderstanding you here.

And we’ve grown and changed a lot since the dirtbag days, self crit and growth have also been a part of this sites culture. We have always tried to not tolerate bigotry here, this ability to adapt when this sort of thing is brought to our attention is on of the only good things about this place or we would just be another stupidpol or Trueanon

No, fuck off back to reddit

I don’t think the idea that all new technology is loved by young people is correct. Boomers love AI and are addicted to social media too. They love that shit.

I think what is more likely is that people of certain demographics are more susceptible to marketing and peer pressure than others. I even think that a lot of times there are a lots of reasons why a product might not take off that is independent of demographics altogether a lot of the time

Capitalists want a simple, measurable, predicable market of constant growth and regular periodic innovation but sometimes real life doesn’t work like that. Innovation and technology doesn’t move in a gradual straight line like a video game tech tree. It’s sporadic, has offshoots, sometimes doesn’t change for a long time and other times changes very quickly. Not all of it is useful or long lasting, some is. You can’t force it in the same way Disney can’t just force people to like the movies they churn out periodically just because they ticked all the right boxes. It has to be natural, in the right place at the right time.

I don’t know if I’m making any sense lol

is this because you think I’m coming after you?
