2010s: Old Man Yells At Cloud2020s: Old Man Yells At Claude

@bakachu I routinely have that exchange with young people!

[datarama@hachyderm.io]

@bakachu To be honest, I think both having one's brain rotted by LLMs and scrupulously avoiding having one's brain rotted by LLMs are both pretty cross-generational.

My mother is 70, and she thinks LLMs are precisely as intelligent as toasters. But I also know someone else her age who's absolutely convinced that they have developed sentience and are plotting to get rid of the humans.

I know a 20-something who has outsourced his entire brain to ChatGPT, and another 20-something who thinks the entire field of generative AI is, and I quote, "puréed brain cancer".

Since I commute by bus to work, and my bus route passes a high school, I get to listen to a lot of teenage kids chatting. Some of them have "AI friends" and are excitedly telling their flesh-and-blood friends about their long sessions with AI and how AI is doing all their homework; others are using the term "AI" as synonymous with "fake" and/or "dumb".

@Nead I have almost a full year to remember to invest in a shotgun.

@datarama You made it that far, so you might as well just consider OpenClawFlare, a vibe-coded weekend project to let "AI" administer networks. @paveljanicek
