I’ve just been reading about how in the future, AI will allow us to speak with animals, and people will be able to communicate telepathically and live in their own VR worlds. (etc., etc.)
Man, this isn’t a world I want to live in. I’m so tired of the constant paradigm shifting that you have to put your brain through with each innovation. I wish technology just stayed frozen in the 1980s – there would be so much less uncertainty in my life and I could just focus on being a human.
Innovation keeps being forced on you and I just feel tired. >!And I’m only just in my 20s!< Is this ok? Is this valid? When resisting it is a loser’s game…
Maybe it’s aggravated by the fact that I do programming and the industry standard libraries constantly keep evolving each year. You’re stuck perpetually playing catch-up.
yeah, im a full stack guy and im old and it sucks constantly having to learn for the job, but ya know it hasnt really changed all that much in the last 30 years. gen AI doesnt exist so its ‘revolution’ certainly isnt going to be pronounced before im retired.
im certainly not afraid of some predictive generation as its nothing knew, its just [much] better than it was.
you led with speaking with animals and virtual reality but that boiled down pretty quick didnt it?
