  • I know there’s a big knee-jerk anti-AI sentiment on Lemmy, but some of these points are perfectly legitimate. Not the ones seeking emotional validation or trying to create social connections, but automating the tweaking of your resume and cover letters for all these companies that expect personalized engagement, absolutely. I’ve got extremely limited cognitive bandwidth and I’ve got too much to do besides branding myself and making you and your company feel special. If capitalism loves automation so much, then let’s automate this bullshit.

    I’m just waiting for this AI bubble to burst so we can finally move away from soullessly imitating human social patterns and toward the things AI is actually useful for: pattern recognition.














  • It gave us a little peace of mind when our autistic child was a toddler. He had just started eloping and he was very fast and very sneaky. Holding his hand wasn’t always feasible and we wanted to encourage some freedom and independence so a backpack with a tether was a good option, especially in crowded areas. He was free to explore something if it interested him but the gentle tug gave him enough physical feedback to understand that he needed to stay close to us. Now that he’s older we can just verbally remind him to stay close if he starts wandering off.
