Topix Underground

I don't trust AI at all. It consistently gives me information that I can tell immediately is inaccurate.  I'm sure the military and CIA has a version that does better.

I actually functioned better before electronics...I knew to the penny what was going on, had files on everything, knew exactly where every penny was going, did my own taxes plus did the taxes for my s-corp, did the books, payroll... when you do everything by hand you become so familiar with the material that you memorize it.  Kids now read and write in a hobbled, abbreviated, topical and nonsensical fashion appropriate to their 'social media' universe. They exist three-quarters in a virtual reality - no job skills, no social skills, their personalities are formed by video games and doom scrolling.

All of it...the internet, streaming, social media, 'devices', ai, virtual reality, smart phones, smart tvs and appliances.... some of it is very usefull and life enhancing but the effects on human psychology individually and on the macro societal level outweighs the benefits. Like I said....at the end of the day, net-net it's a fucking plague.
