"Apple is closer than you think to seamlessly eliminating the final barriers between reality and the digital world. I wouldn't be surprised if, within a decade, we see this technology being pushed heavily in schools, the corporate world, etc. Is it dumb to be such a Luddite? With this and AI stuff it"
Anyone else feel they're becoming a full blown Luddite? · billuminati99 · ↑553 · 2023-06-07
"I sympathize with the Luddite mentality, but so far as what is the case with technology now. What is preventing us from envisioning technology being used for common good?"
"Like if you come up and say 'AI is fucking pathetic' they come out of the woodworks and start their discourse about how you are just a modern luddite and you don't understand the technology.. etc."
"I genuinely believe it will be viewed as the smoking of this generation when we are all retarded vegetables in our 60s"
"I was raised with effectively no technology. A literal Luddite in most ways. And I'm a pretty mechanically-minded person. I'm good with judging time based on the sun's position and can point to the north at any given time. But god damn I'm dependent on my iPhone."
