  • I can’t get ragebait out of my feed any more. I block a subreddit and five more with identical depressing and/or rage-inducing content take its place.

    The way to optimize is to make a multireddit of only your preferred subreddits and check that over and over again. For example, for me, https://old.reddit.com/r/AutoHotkey+FreeGameFindings+news plus a bunch of other ones, whatever you’re comfortable with and enjoy. Be highly selective about what you add to this multireddit and then Reddit becomes heaven because of your awesome filtering.

    Because of my ultra-curated multi, Reddit was mostly fine, if not even excellent; I’m just wanting to leave because of its centralization and to support FOSS endeavors.












  • This is actually false, which was surprising to me upon hearing this podcast episode: The TED AI Show: AI therapy is here. What does it mean for you?

    Some people actually prefer AI counselors because they never judge, they’re infinitely patient, and they remember everything. There is a role for them. For me, while they’ve always messed up code, they’ve typically shown me a different way to attempt to do something that I didn’t think of before, which eventually led me to newfound tinkering that got me to develop working code needed for my projects.

    For this case, I think it’s the framework of AI being inserted into an existing institution that is causing this emotional stigma. If it was started separately as its own AI pep talk program or motivational system for social outreach and equality, then maybe it would thrive. So I think it can’t replace church activities simply because of their innate history.
