  • You don’t need to jump straight to cooking full meals.

    Stuff like rice/beans with some sauce can be made in like 2 minutes. Like, with as much effort as ramen.

    But that stuff will stay in your stomach and slowly get digested, so you’ll need less energy drinks at the end of the day.

    But cooking is like anything, start out small and easy and then just slowly start adding stuff. Once doing the small things feels natural, add an extra step or two. Like just throwing a chicken breast in a pan.

    Even if you used to be a good cook, it sounds like you need to go back to basics and work yourself up to the fancy stuff.







  • Not all AI slop is spam, but all spam now is AI slop

    Paraphrased because I watched it this morning, but that really stuck out to me.

    The pace that they can slop this out is so fast that everything authentically human is going to be buried unless sites make a concentrated effort to separate our AI from everything else.

    Like the Pinterest lady was saying, it’s already so bad that every picture on her feed is AI. Pinterest didn’t fence off the AI, and like a weed it’s choked out everything else. If you don’t like AI, you’re going to leave because all you get is AI.

    And the people who stay, will keep engaging with the AI slop.

    It’s a death spiral, eventually the only ones left will be bots. Because the less humans engaging with the AI accounts, the less real feedback they get. Like, were not that far off from AI making posts the bots like and ignoring humans, because real humans will be a statistically insignificant percentage of those sutes.

    The entire Internet will be AI slop, made by bots, for the sole purpose of getting upvotes from other bots. No humans necessary, just burning the planet down for no fucking reason.






  • It won’t last forever though…

    A lot of the non-upgradability is the pursuit of smallest form factor. But then everyone throws a case on it anyways. Miniaturization has diminishing returns and we hit that long ago with laptops.

    Eventually we’ll hit it with phones, and then it’s just a matter of time till a solid “base” with swapable components come out. There’s been a couple already, but they still require a sacrifice of size or speed/power.

    That’s why manufacturers are trying to push us to watches or glasses. They need to shrink the form factor to keep up the (insanely profitable) strategy of selling a brand new unit every 2 years.
