one still has to think. Also about this ai automating stuff and humans playing around. I believe there is a time for this and time for that

why should we trust THE USA and anthropic ?

We need limits though and that's the whole point. The effect of doom scrolling on the young brain is something we can't just turn a blind eye to. Add to it bad people trying to hurt the young ones and using them

I joking argue that we should cap computer speed at 486 level's. You can still do office stuff, some graphics and audio but you are not running a doom scrolling setup with that kind of limited hardware. You are barely running Doom!

I think smart phones are really cool when they aren't in the attention economy. But high performance but low power draw chips and media accelerators unintentionally allowed for these kind of social media setups to be viable.

I agree, but in that our constant drive for MORE and MORE compute is the real negative.

We've gone back to heavy CPU burning applications rather than nimble and efficient. Not to mention the amount of background processing for tracking.

Even Microsoft was once sued for how much energy they wasted with nonsense.

You don't need much client-side power to implement addictive UX.

I am working on Stylify. It is an AI based word formatter. It uses local ai models so that nothing leaves the computer. Most of the time is spent on formatting word-docs rather than writing the actual content, that's the reason I thought of building one. You can see it here in action https://stylifyword.com
