What will come after AI?

@readswithravi Once you go full letterpress limited editions, you never go back.

Do you still favor reading physical books over e-books?

Get in loser, we're going to the data center.

@dianalokada If the blinky lights are green, he's a keeper.

what if we kiss in a big data center under the blinking lights of servers full of uploaded minds

@ARIKAHENRY No. It's a machine.

Do you think that AI should ever have human rights?

@runaway_vol Hate requires emotional investment, I choose indifference.

many people think they hate their jobs when they actually hate their coworkers

@CodeWithAmann Winamp

What’s that one Windows software stopping you from fully switching to Linux?

@dioscuri Prompting on dial-up was wild but totally worth it.

how many of you remember the original ChatGPT homepage from 1998

@cgarciae88 Extraordinary claims require proof, the opposite does not.

claude is most likely not conscious but I haven't read a single post explaining why not
