I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia.
But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

@tante My fondest experience in software was building (over ~9 years) an ERP system with the founding principle: "We want it to work for at least 30 years" which had a lot of knock-off effects. We were allowed to improve things that mattered more for maintenance than functionality.
The joy of being able to shift technology on the frontend with little effect to the backend, having response times in single digit ms and so on.
There was plenty to improve, still, but I had pride in my work.

@nina_kali_nina Despite my article talking about a specific branch of tech that I think is worth noted for advancing (which I know you felt uncomfortable with), my general feelings about where society is going because of the AI industry slop'ifying life is shared. Sorry shit is awful. :<

@cwebber I basically cried about AI for an hour, I can't even begin how the whole industry is... Like *This*. And people are happily giving them money...
