You might not like it but you actually live in a world with other people and building technology often affects their lives and they have opinions on it. For AI a lot of that impact has been negative.

I don't have the emotional energy to care, actually.

This is actually fascinating. How does my opinion matter? Should I join all the socials (this is my only form of social media) and stand on my soapbox and shout into the void? Do I need to express I care so others know I care and have picked a side and have opionions on evrything?

I do not care. My opinion does not matter. I can scream into all the voids. I can virtue signal until the heat death of the universe/until I die, it matters not. I don't have the desire to spend the limited emotional bandwidth on giving a flaming fuck about the world around me. I'm not that arrogant or self-centered to think anyone else cares.

“Learned helplessness” himself graced us with his presence.


What a useless response.

if you call picking your battles wisely “learned helplessness” then yea

Engineers not caring is what leads to people working for scumbags who build socially poisonous technology.

What if I told you I was a stay-at-home dad?
