When people talk to artificial intelligence, they speak what they received from another artificial intelligence. They are officially making artificial intelligence talk to artificial intelligence. They don't speak themselves.
One of the most amazing things happened during the day long power cut in 2025 in Spain and Portugal... eventually the cell towers went down and everyone just went to the parks and socialised. Connected with friends, strangers. Everyone was so in the moment because there was nowhere else to be, nothing else to distract them. People would pick up their phone and realise there was nothing there for them and put it back…
Sometimes people talk about these types of experiences and I get the feeling that it's an idealized picture of what really happened. I went through this experience in Portugal and it was exactly as described. Everyone came to the same conclusions during the power cut (that it is great to just hang and talk), only to forget the lessons the next day.

This reminds me of the Jewish Sabbath. Here in Tel Aviv, Saturday means no shops, much fewer restaurants, less programming on TV, gyms/etc open late/close early. The parks and beaches are full of people just existing.
Reminds me of my friends in Gaza, where every day means no shops, no restaurants, no home, no medicine, no food, no water, no hope. The beaches are full of people just trying to exist.

The person you are talking to did not personally commit genocide in Gaza. Just as I, an American citizen, did not declare war on Iran. In fact, I think the war in Iran is a stupid and immoral thing to do. It's possible that the person you are responding to feels the same about the Israeli government's genocidal actions in Gaza. However, you did not bother to find out. When you judge someone before knowing them, it is…
Did the comment you replied to actually accuse them of any of those things? I don't see them doing that. They juxtaposed the two situations, but they made no accusations nor casted any blame. There isn't even any prejudice I can see. Was the comment edited or something? I don't see how your comment makes sense as a reply to its parent.
But you can see why the Gaza response made sense? It was completely irrelevant to this discussion. I’m not sure how you’re missing the heavy sub text here.

You're only getting one side of the story, here. I suspect the user called "anal_reactor" who is a fan of "edgy humor" and thinks "most people have very little depth" miiight have a hard time with in-person socialization.
Yes, I do have a hard time with in-person socialization, but that only reinforces the point that at least from my perspective, people suck. Imagine that you move to a foreign country. At work you get to know Bob and Bob tells you that he likes traveling. Next week you ask Bob if he's going on holiday somewhere, and the week after you get a call from HR because asking people for their holiday plans is considered extre…
> Whenever you try to vent how you don't fit into the culture people point out that it's your fault you're the weirdo.
Surely it’s pretty self evident why this is the case.
I’m in the very same situation currently. A coworker vibe coded a PR for me to review. I asked: normally I would ask “why did you do xyz”, but what are you going to do now, proxy that question to your LLM? And is the LLM going to construct a “why” based on the nonsensical code it produced? Is this how we want to work? The review is currently stalled in absence of answers.

Do you find talking to an AI with your colleagues as a middleman faster than talking to your colleagues?
Sometimes, yes. Some coworkers ramble and give too much information, some leave out information. Sometimes there's a bit of a language barrier. If I can get to the nugget of what needs to be communicated and understood, it can be faster. But also, sometimes just having a conversation/meeting and having a transcript to break things down via AI is convenient and fast.
