Get ready. Angry Sightless Scribbles post incoming. Yesterday a fucking Tech Bro just came into an independent bookstore, where everybody was happily reading, drinking hot chocolate or tea, and this dick hole just decided to come in to try to promote his stupid shitty AR but he called it an AI glasses where it would attempt to use AI to generate images of things you were reading, as if the imagination is a stupid thing that needs to be disrupted. I couldn’t take the shit. I have to deal with these morons everywhere in my online life, and I sure as shit did not want them in my offline life too but the fucker would not leave. I stood up, slammed my cane on the floor so that it made a very loud, crack! I began by saying, shut the fuck up. That’s when the technological beatdown happened. I can’t express how much I hate these people. He just saw a bookstore and decided to just invade our fucking sanctuary, and he really, really, hated it that a person he saw as a luddite, his version of a luddite anyway, knew the tech and new the operating system he was using better than he did. I can’t stand these fucking people. On the bright side, the bookstore owner said I could write in there for free anytime, any day, and I get free hot chocolate for life because that beatdown was golden. If I appear on TikTok, you know why.

Second: I know nothing about you beyond what you wrote in this post, so the part about cracking down your cane made me imagine you as an elder wizard in "modern day" d...

I am one of the people who's brain actually doesn't have the power to imagine a full scene like that, one of the people that his tech might try to market to. But, nonfiction though...

AI does not need to be everywhere in every single person's head 24/7/365. I'd be the last person to say I'm 100% anti-ai, but we gotta stop s...
