It could be argued that automating hand-crafted works — aka pretty much anything that is automated — is the death of art.

The typewriter was the beginning of the end of the art of handwriting.

Factories was the beginning of the end of hand-created goods.

AI has killed the art of handwritten code (which itself automated away other forms of art).

I think that’s the whole point the article/comments are making.

Many things we used to learn are becoming obsolete by AI.

A analogy (if not the best one)3 People used to be much less sedentary, and in some ways healthier, before automobiles (or working from home).

So setting aside intentional exercise became much more necessary to be less sedentary and healthier.

But it requires discipline and motivation, and many people don’t exercise enough as a result.

Before AI, learning was a necessity to get things done. We had to check our own spelling/grammar before these tools existed. Etc.

Now, learning and using these skills will be simply for the “exercise” of using our brains in ways that were necessary before AI.

Some people will continue to code ok the side “for fun” or “for exercise”, but it will no longer be a means to simply getting something done — that can be done with AI.

Any you certainly won’t be doing for a company whose primary focus is to make money.

100%. Yes, many of my points are mostly negated if you can’t charge at home.

Not only is charging away from home no less expensive — and sometimes more expensive — but the time it takes to charge on the road is a deal breaker.

That’s why I mentioned I own an ICE vehicle purely for long distance travel.

I’m hoping someday away-from-home charging drops (significantly) below gas prices, and also that charging speeds get closer to the time it takes to fill a tank of gas.

Or, more likely, that range will allow you to drive several hours without ever having to charge on the road, so that you can just use destination charging.

A lot of people responding to this thread saying to buy a cheap ICE vehicle.

Saving money on gas is only one reason to own an EV.

Other reasons include:

- rarely having to take it in for service

- never having to stop for gas when commuting

- a much quieter ride

- a much smoother ride (no transmission)

- instant torque

- no emissions

There are probably others I’m forgetting. But I can’t wait for the day I’ll not need to own an ICE vehicle (still better for long trips).

Yeah, everyone’s different, and it’s not uncommon for people to have very different experiences with VR, and I can imagine the same for the 3DS.

Really? I didn’t seem to have too many issues with it, especially compared to my experience with the Oculus Quest (where I can get headaches after 10 or so minutes).

After longer sessions with it, sure, but I don’t remember 5 (or even 20-30) minutes giving me issues.

Not exactly the same, but the Nintendo 3DS accomplishing 3D without any special glasses (using a lenticular screen) sounds similar.

I remember being blown away when I first saw it.

But that's exactly what the HN guidelines are trying to prevent/discourage -- meta discussion about Reddit-quality comments.

It doesn't add to on-topic discussion.

At first I thought “that’s a very specific shopping list for fridge magnets”. :)

While I get the spirit of your message, advertising has been around for over a century, and I don’t believe it has done near the damage to society over that timespan that AI will likely do in a decade (if we’re not careful and responsible).

I also don’t believe addiction and other psychological exploits are used for the sole purpose of ad revenue. There are other more direct forms of monetization involved, such as microtransactions and subscriptions.

If you really want to blame something, it really all comes down to one word:

Greed.

Not posture. My particular issue seems to be either injury or something resembling an injury. Pain is part of it, but range of motion is (currently) the bigger problem. And it happened pretty quickly.

I’ve had a Stanford orthopedist (remotely) review my records, and he feels that surgery may be the only thing that can get me back to 100% (RoM or pain).

PT may help, but it can’t heal the damage that’s been done.

> Obviously, don't take medical advice on HN too seriously

100%. But I do like to hear anecdotes, since I know no one personally that's had shoulder surgery.

But agree that everyone's different, and everyone's experiences are different, so I take it with a grain of salt for sure.

But still appreciated!

As someone who's going to the doctor next week to discuss potential shoulder surgery, this is timely.

I really need to figure out whether it's going to make things better or worse, but unfortunately, that feels like something a doctor can't guarantee one way or the other.

Any anecdotes or other experiences/thoughts are appreciated.

Hugged :(
