I still used to frequent it all the way up to last month, for some interesting discussions. But now... it's really become AI-pro^[Yes, I know it's been that way for a while, but either I'm feeling it more or the bots have gamed the website to the point that all you see are announces from big tech companies or people going on about their AI solutions] and any post that even hints about AI existentialism gets immediately cut down.

I find it hard to browse the site anymore, and lament the loss of expert tech discussion in my weekly routine.

I wish I could see it as just sad. Instead, it's like somebody is constantly trying to murder me slowly, and the fact that they haven't actually managed it yet doesn't make the experience any less terrifying.

    Well then join my workshop where I show you how to be sad AND terrified simultaneously while using AI to augment your limited human emotional capability.

    The workshop is free because your personal data is the product!

    Wait why are you crying now? This is good news!!
