And Fediverse in general.
I was a lurker on reddit and have just now created accounts on Lemmy and Kbin. I find these two platforms engaging, even though they're small. I'm trying to engage more, not just lurk on here. I like the new communities on here, and I want to be a part of them.
P.S. I still haven't gotten the hang of Fediverse, completely.
Severence season 2 is probably going to be pretty good. Capitalism will eventually collapse under its own weight. Peak sweet corn season is in a couple months.
Nothing. Life's beautiful, enjoy while it lasts. Sit back, relax, enjoy, have fun. It's too short to be wasted worrying about things to be optimistic about.
Don't get me wrong, I am quite worried about some of the ways AI is being used currently. But any technology can be used or abused. And as someone interested in HRI and human-like robotics & AI, I always got reactions like terminator was gonna happen for real. Seeing that slowely changing is nice.
Now if only the ethics of those big companies making AI would also change, forced if not voluntarily, then we get some real cool stuff.
If AI doesn't bring our end, it will likely bring about the closest thing to utopia we can hope for. It would be far better at leading us than our pathetic leaders.
The weather. Ones freedom (i hope). Cats. Dogs. Other animals. Books. Neil Gaiman tvshows. Good people fighting the good fight still. That some societies has advanced to where pride can be celebrated openly. Seeing people excited about hobbies or games. People that sacrifice time and effort for free to create, host, and mod Lemmy and kbin and Mastodon. Nature and the effort done to creating green cities. Science progresses still. 3D printers and people using them to print stuff to help others, without charging an arm and a leg for it.
The standard of living in my country has absolutely skyrocketed in the last 10 years.
I no longer have to worry about cholera, the roof of my house falling on me, or being shipped to a conflict zone by an employer.
My new problems are more like navigating a career in IT, saving for a home, and harassing clients to pay me on time.
The number of problems I have has stayed the same, but the new set is much better than the old set and I try to pause a moment and appreciate that sometimes.
