  I've never actually worked in tech, but I was a super early adopter spending a lot of times on BBSs and then usenet, IRC, telnet chats, designing web pages and doing graphics, flyers, icons, emojis and stuff for people I met online, and I've met a lot of super cool people for sure but it's all been virtual for the most part. It was so much fun in those earlier days when everyone was doing their own thing.

  This is simply not enough data for me, I'm holding out for the device that analyzes the content of my poo with mass spectrometry so I can really tell what's going on. /s

  So cool how every expert asked has completely dire predictions about the way we're headed but I guess we're just going to let this asshole do whatever he wants anyways, yolo.

  Ah somehow I thought we had passed that time, granted its been probably 40 years since I've seen the cartoon. I don't think I'll make it another 37 years lol.

  There is nothing smart about being voluntary walking surveillance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zuckerberg says people without AI glasses will be at a disadvantage in the future⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The world is going to be so boring when everyone is walking around with these things, even more oblivious and in their own worlds, with all the answers right there. No need to even speak to anyone anymore except for small talk and who likes that? I'm not going to be a walking surveillance robot which is what I really feel is the end game with this crap, zero privacy.
