>AI I'm apathetic. It's there, it's a tool. You won't feel that way in the near future.
Is it the same future where I sent crypto from my no-code app to buy a NFT to use in my Metaverse apartment that I interact with through VR?
As a 60yo male, pickleball is the best complement to weight lifting for my overall physical and mental health. Life is definitely better with adrenaline, dopamine and endorphins flooding your brain

This is a really bad take (and bad faith) because all the failed tech initiatives you mentioned barely had any adoption whereas LLM based AI tools are used by a billion people a week.
Crypto has a market cap measured in trillions of dollars. The future is (almost) here!

The points you raise are indeed wilful ignorance, easily rebutted. I gave you a link which summarizes the subject well, with plenty of references. If you're genuinely interested in understanding the world, you would study that. But what you're doing instead is cherry-picking reasons to refuse to accept strong evidence. Al Gore, really? You're really scraping the bottom of the denial barrel. Ironically, in your attemp…
There are glaring fallacies by omission in the article you hold up as proof, don't insult my intelligence.

It never occurs to some people that systems they operate in and trust could be 1) total and 2) corrupted to some extent at every level.
Nothing I can ever say, no link nor reasoned oratory could ever change your mind because, as I said, I believe you are captured by the system. You are emotionally invested in it and you work for it for free.
To convince me, people have to work, I'm not cheap and I'm unforgiving after corruption is uncovered. Putdowns and shame have no power because power is everything, and I understand the games people play.
The money will drain away and chase the next incompatible bubble or grift like AGI. Climate alarmism will become too much work to grift off of and people on the sidelines will gradually stop worrying about it. It's a good thing.

Seconding this. I only heard about Iran bombing 23 hours after it happened. I was playing SimCity 2013 with my 7yo. I’m reading older books, playing older games, exercising, and keeping a loose eye on AI so I don’t fall too far behind, but I always wait about two months before adopting anything new (like Claude Code, new tools, etc.). I know that’s pretty superficial, but the goal is staying sane, right?
Other people did the same as you and are now stranded halfway around the world waiting for flights. I get the gist of it but I think being informed is useful. The best way is having access to quality news with a balance. It does not need to be constant outrage.
Off topic? By a throwaway account AI slopper no less.
I saw a similar issue on r/PrivatEkonomi (Swedish.) Two doomerism post with subject somewhat adapted to the forum at hand. The two users were young accounts with private comment history. Someone is definitely on a propaganda tour trying to seed negative sentiment.
I am astounded by how many comments recommend completely withdrawing from worldly matters. While I can understand why this may seem like a smart move, it cannot be the right choice ethically (think of Kant’s categorical imperative). Of course, you cannot directly influence world politics. But choosing a small area where you can make something better—anything that positively affects your fellow human beings—seems to m…
Obviously completely throwing your head into the sand is deleterious, and understanding the national political climate is certainly an important part of things like applying for grant funding or understanding how to get Federal dollars to match State and Local dollars. But IMO the nationalization of politics is having a real effect on the effectiveness of local politics.
