Gen X chose to be the “I’m not really into politics” generation. As if electing our leaders was a spectator sport we could just not participate in. And then we all claimed to be too cool for political parties when we started noticing the world was really going to shit. Which is how we got centrists.
I know because that was me.
I hope I’m wrong but it seems like the ratio of selfish stupid people is constant across generations.
I’m a little jealous to be honest. I can barely talk to my dad anymore. He swallowed the propaganda hook, line, and sinker. Everything he says is word for word from cable news or facebook.
Both my boomer parents were hippies. My Mom literally lived in a commune for some time in her early 20s. She voted for the T-Dog in 2016 because she wanted to see real change.
I used to chuckle when I was a kid the way my Dad would look at me and roll his eyes when my grandparents would talk about politics and religion. My Dad loves his MAGA hats now. And wonders why his grandchildren don’t want to be around him.
My sample size of 2 says otherwise!
Every single generation in the past 100 years has said the same thing. “My generation will fix it when we’re in charge”.
The God Damn boomers were the hippies from the 60s. What the fuck happened to peace and love?
My generation (Gen X), my goodness, we could see through all the bullshit. We’re the original centrists.
Every single one of my children’s Gen Z friends are all so woke they never sleep.
Turns out every generation is full of selfish shortsighted dumbasses just like the one before it. Just like “The Greatest Generation”. Just like the boomers. Just like Gen X.
Faith in humanity…fading

Actually you can 100% have a permanent home for 8 dishes, 8 bowls, 8 glasses, 8 coffee cups, and 8 forks/knives/spoons in the dishwasher and just leave them there. Just put the ones you used that day back in their place and turn the dishwasher on when you go to bed.
I tried that in my early 20s. Luckily I still had a Frisbee left for cereal.
Right? Dancing humans and fighting humans and stripping humans are already awesome.
I want a sink full of dirty dishes to turn in to a cabinet full of clean dishes, and a laundry basket full of dirty clothes to turn into a drawer full of clean, folded clothes.
Why is humanity even bothering anymore? Nobody asked for a robot that writes novels and paints. Just shut it all down. Fuck this.
Oh sweet baby jesus no it is not. The robot would load the dishes into the the dishwashing machine, then put the clean dishes away when the dishwashing cycle is complete.
Goddamnit…why do my arguments never go as planned.
Wow. Brendan Carr is “facing blowback”? Finally some serious repercussions.
Awesome! I’ll give it a try.
Well that sucks. I was really impressed as a novice to open weight LLMs with the ease of use for Ollama on Bazzite.
I actually tried Qwen 3.6 27B but it wouldn’t quite fit in my 6900XT so I had to go down to the 14B. I don’t have the tools or the skillset to really test the capabilities of an LLM but with some very rudimentary system prompts it felt quite natural to me. Shockingly natural considering that talking to a real LLM running on my own PC felt like it was smarter than the Majel Barrett computer on Star Trek:TNG…
What’s the cutting edge now? Skool me…I want to try it. Can I grab one using ollama?
I ran DeepSeek and Llama and Mistral at home on my consumer grade gaming PC.
With a little tweaking of the system prompts and configuring web search, I was running a local LLM that felt pretty darn close to the commercial LLMs.
With this technology out in the open internet where you can download the models in a few hours I don’t see how the commercial AI companies are going to last. If selling “Artificial Intelligence” subscriptions is all your company does for revenue, you’re screwed.
I downloaded and ran an LLM that I could have a conversation with and feed basic coding problems to for basically zero dollars and ran it on my puny gaming machine…puny compared to enterprise-class hardware. It would be trivial for a company with a very moderate budget to buy some servers and start running their own LLMs that they can use to feed all the PII and HIPPA data they want.
100%. These LLMs are fantastic tools for when you could use an LLM to solve a problem or make something better.
Using the right tool for the right job is really not a complicated concept.
The problem, as always, is marketing and hype noise caused by the people who see dollar signs.
That vehicle is fucking dope.
Wow…I don’t usually do that but it was so convenient. I feel seent.
