Sir, this is Lemmy.

Well it really isn’t addictive as opiates for example are. You wont become chemically dependant to it. The kind of addiction it causes is the same one that social media, TV, gaming, etc might cause. It becomes an habit and you get used to that. I know this is a simplification but this is how I see it.

Yeah shouldn’t it have been the other way? AI for robots to take out the trash and cook and clean, and we’d be free for art and writing?

Was life at any point in our past free?

I don’t think so.

And if you go back to caveman times before money, we still paid with blood.

If anything life is moving into a situation where it might actually be free. But that does not mean freedom.

We were actually more free in caveman times.

Its a paradox. The more comfortable we get, the more safe we get, and the less we have to pay for this, in the end we will pay with less freedom.

Its not that simple. Its ok to apologize sometimes. But not so apologize every fucking time like I do for every minor slide. Also I can see the usefulness to just make the shot call instead of staying 1h writing that message/email. Others are ok too.

All hail the Fediverse.

Yep. Extra protein too

Its like that story of the frog helping the scorpion cross the river.

What is there to discuss?

in general I find this to be true with most fruits, the uglier the better. Those pretty shiny apples are shit.
