I have no idea how. But after I quit social media I managed to convince my wife to give it a go. That was 4 years ago. Has linkedin for work, and goes to a couple of sports related subreddits, but that's it.

What should I be looking into?

I suppose I could already be replaced with any number of services (vercel, heroku, Google cloud run etc..). But I haven't yet. I think I still provide value in other ways. (Also a sys admin)

You do realise planes already fly themselves right. And at some airports even land and takeoff.

If everyone prompts code. Less people will actually know what they're doing?

But it's the same thing just at a higher fidelity. Which is impressive don't get me wrong. But they are also kinda bad looking. Like even there good examples have so many issues. I just don't see how this gets extrapolated into the ideas in various posts like full length movies, custom TV shows and holodecks or whatever else people dream up. Do we have any examples of tech that just kept improving at exponential or linear rates? Why is everyone so confident it will just keep getting better?

If I didn't have a kid, I wouldn't have a phone at work. It would probably be off in my locker or something.

That's not how it works for sleep though.

I'm not that old (got home internet in my teens). But got an old c64 from my uncle when I was in primary school. It came with a stack of magazines. In them was all this code you had to copy paste to get a basic game. I don't remember exactly but I don't recall I had anyway to save them either. I don't have anything to add, but you just made me think of a neat memory.

Wasn't it like this before tinder? That's kinda how I remember it was when I was going out to pubs/clubs.

I would say no.

There needs to be more choices. American suburbia is on another level I know, but there is no reason you can't have a bit more density, walk-able or bicycle friendly neighbourhoods, centred around amenities and public transport.

Not disagreeing with you. But we (those of us old enough to remember) still kept in touch with our friends that moved away to different unis before social media existed.

Is it optimising for all users? And assuming people thumbs up the correct info. I wonder what accuracy percentage we are looking at there. ChatGPTs responses are so confident when wrong I fear people will just give it a thumbs up when its wrong. (This is if how I understand the feature you mention is working)
