In the very early days of the Internet, if your mom’s friend called to gossip it meant you had to reset the 5 hour countdown on downloading that single image.

MOMMMMM!!!

Happy mother’s day all

Part of the reason why we differntiate consent and enthusiastic consent

100 percent I want to watch that doc.

But also 100 percent I’m hitting pause if my wife just comes out and says she wants me to smelt her nickel

There was a stand up bit I remember from many years ago, before AI was a thing. It was about how having a search engine in our pockets has ruined human experiences. If you ask a friend a question it’s like, I don’t know, but I will in five seconds.

It used to be if you didn’t know something… You just didn’t know. Like listening to music and suddenly thinking… where is Tom Petty from? And you would ask your friends and they didn’t know. And you’d go through life just occasionally wondering. And years later one day you would see a stranger walking up the street in a Heartbreakers T-shirt. And you would introduce yourself and ask where is Tom Petty from? And they would say Florida. And after so many years of wondering , a wave of emotions would come over you. And you ended up marrying that person.

That’s what smart phones have taken from us.

It was a very funny bit and I feel like AI is that, taken to extremes.
