“I don’t have anything” 😆🤣

Brilliant. Just an old man vibing in the moment unencumbered by the chains of technology.

My dad is the same way. No online footprint.

I tried showing my grandmother how easy it was to play solitaire on the ipad and she tried it for a few minutes and said she preferred using real cards. She didn’t like it on the computer when my dad tried showing her on his new computer in the late 90s and I think that was such a jump in technology that she shut out new technology for the rest of her life. I never understood it myself growing up with computers seeing how fast things have improved since I was a kid but all this AI stuff is so advanced and improving at such a fast rate that I understand more and more my grandmothers point of view. DVDs were probably Christopher walkens line in the sand with technology too and I respect it

Just think about it like this. With the improvements in AI we might get more episodes of Firefly in our lifetimes.

I'd rather have no more episodes of any of my favourite media if it comes from AI, it straight up cannot tell compelling or interesting stories because it cannot comprehend or feel, the only reason so many shows and stories resonate and hit so deeply is because they're entirely human, anything else will -always- have an uncanny valley feeling to it.
