Alright, but if I end up getting stuffed in a goo-filled pod so the AI can suck my energy out through a massive plug in the back of my head, I’m gonna be pretty upset.

I think this is a good enough reason to actually put in some effort to phase out ipv4 and dhcp. There shouldn’t be a way for some random node on the network to tell my node what device to route traffic over. Stateless ipv6 for the win.

Honestly, huge shout out to the wave of enshittification crashing through Google and reddit and forcing me off their platforms. Decade-long debilitating addiction solved.

Sucks that we live in the one timeline where AI is guaranteed to become an agent of coercion and exploitation, and do a better job than any human at optimizing the system of inequality.

I don’t think an algorithm is responsible for the fact that most sane people are generally against genocide. People being pro-Palestine in this specific situation is a humanitarian response and should not be causing any amount of concern because it is the morally correct position here.

HOWEVER, the fact that we just witnessed the fucking letter to america go viral on tiktok, wherein a soul crushing amount of people publicly stated they agree with a fucking jihadist manifesto, is cause for a massive amount of concern. Tiktok definitely needs to face consequences for letting that happen. We also can’t excuse the audience for that type of behaviour. Whether it came from a deliberate propaganda campaign, or a sketchy algorithm, or just mass stupidity, audience members need to be better. If you read the letter to america and you think bin laden was right, you’re a moron, and you’re contributing to the problem.

I would highly recommend python. It’s fairly simple syntactically, which makes it less overwhelming someone who’s just looking at code for the first time. It doesn’t force you to learn about functions and classes right away, like other languages would, so you can focus on the real basics until you’re ready to tackle the more abstract stuff.

The fact that it’s on the ‘simpler’ side doesn’t make it any less powerful, either. It’s one of the top languages used for neural net AI and data science. It’s also really great for throwing together a spur of the moment script when inspiration strikes, to automate a really boring task, for example. And yes, you can also make games with it.

Plus, the fundamental concepts that you use to solve problems with python are mostly the same in every language, so once you get proficient in one language, you’ll be able to pick up other languages much easier.

Whichever language you do end up choosing, good luck on your journey!
