Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto

  • Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto

    This sentence is more than two thousand years old, and I believe it is more relevant today than ever.

    Human beings have always created tools to improve their condition. Their productivity. We have invented tools for agriculture, medicine, electronics, and more. Each of these techniques and technologies has solved a problem (often creating others, but that is part of the game).

    One thing I have never understood, however, is the desire to dehumanize ourselves. To remove from humans what is human. It almost seems as if the dream of many is to become machines. Productivity at all costs, even if it means crushing people, just to see numbers grow. Results achieved through shortcuts, even if that means losing something along the way.

    Alongside this, there is also a push toward total standardization, stripping away the unique traits that define us as individuals.

    To be human means having emotions, desires, dreams, thoughts. If we give up all of this, what is left of us?

    @stefano The reason the gap between humans and robots is closing so rapidly is not because robots are acquiring human characteristics, but because humans are becoming more like robots. And:

    @catavz Black-and-white cartoon by Randy Glasbergen from 2000 showing two people at a desk. The left figure has a large nose, curly hair, and glasses, holding a document; the right figure has a long nose, glasses, and wears a patterned tie, also holding a document. A desk with a laptop and keyboard is behind them.

    Cogs inside a machine designed to crush everyone and everything? (I know it's a rethorical question but I couldn't resist).

    Grandiose day! However I haven’t read the book yet thou’. I spent my evening today building a automation by forking Tinker hack Blusky integration for running playlist etc. I am halfway there but when I run tested it – the last block doesn’t seem to work so I’ve contacted them about it. I hope soon to get help. This year I did lot of techie projects for myself like vibe coding built ways for me after taking course on ai and then vibecoding snake game and all of that. Later, doing html/css course to understand the basics and loving it all and then jamming up with neocities more. This year I also got excited with Nothing community project challenge – and built a marketing plan even the date was done and all. As I got to know late – being so inspired by the brand I went ahead and did something cool too. Nothing has cool software and hardware. The UI is cool as they say it. Got back to the ropes of smartphones as I grabbed Vivo iQOO Z10X as my daily driver – as they call it! I’ve since loved watching tech videos alot. I do love tech. I am not very much diving into fitness gadgets as of yet. As that would just tumble me down of anxiety passage I find.Well, the Founder of Mastodon is giving the next baton to new guy. Felix! Also, Eugen did a wonderful job with Mastodon. I saw his interview on YouTube while dinnering my way up through the day. I also read how a 101 year old Barista has been serving since WWII – that was the good news over bsky this morning. Also one 87 year old lady did something cool – which I don’t recall. You know we don’t care much to remember good news as we keep bad news itched in our brain for like whole time and all. Bad news is impactful is it? It creates fear and then that becomes memorable all of a sudden. Ah!
