Yeah, maybe you’re right. Could be nostalgia playing tricks on me. I just remember how exciting it felt to join a new forum, or discover something like eMule, Sababa DC, or random p2p tools.
Everything felt raw and full of possibility. Even if a lot of it looked the same, it didn’t feel the same. There was this sense of exploring something alive.
This didn’t just start now. It’s been fading for over a decade. I remember when every forum had its own look, strange layouts, unique colors, and a vibe you couldn’t really describe but you felt it.
Now everything feels the same. Same layout, same font, same clean boxy design. Sites copy each other. AI just made it more obvious, but the soul started slipping away long before that
Lowering the voting age to 16 makes sense on paper. Many people at that age work, pay taxes, and take on real responsibilities. But let’s be honest, parties don’t push changes like this unless they believe it gives them an electoral edge
>No. But engineers who learn to work with LLMs will most probably outpace those who don’t.
I think that in a few years, programmers who wrote code before this 'AI era' (or whatever we will name it) will have an edge over those who were “born” into it. It’s a bit like learning to drive a manual before switching to automatic. You build a deeper connection with the machine. You feel how things work under the hood, Which makes you a better driver, even when the car starts doing most of the work for you
Each subreddit has its own rules listed in the sidebar, so make sure you check those. What’s allowed in one community might be completely off-limits in another, even if it follows Reddit’s general guidelines
Interesting read. I don’t have kids yet, but the author’s experience seems to come from a time when kids spent more time playing and interacting with each other, not glued to screens. These days a lot of young kids are on devices from a really early age, and from what I hear from friends who do have kids, many parents don’t pay much attention to that. So I’m not sure the idea that kids will just naturally learn to read still holds the same way. The environment has changed a lot
Nice idea. But honestly, what I'd really want is a script that tracks how many times it said "absolutely right" when it was actually just hallucinating
Yeah, he knows. We just laughed about how cringe we are.
For his last birthday I downloaded our entire chat history, ran it through Claude, and sent him a visual of our most used words. I also added a few of the funniest lines we’ve had (It wasn’t actually that funny by normal standards, just to be clear)
Honestly, I have no idea how that’s birthday-related but we both enjoy it
I’ve got a friend who sends me happy birthday wishes using Suno. I hate it. I love the friend though.
It feels a bit like watching an old movie where the scene drags for no reason and the background’s kinda off, but you still enjoy it. Then you go watch Netflix and everything is smooth, predictable, perfect, and somehow super boring.
I honestly like your version more, with all its imperfections. Feels more alive.
Once they lost all the pre-2016 content, I think that was it. Hard to make a comeback after something like this
