oh, it's another way of pigeonholing people into various invented sections, like alphabet idiots, and fecking mentally ill twats who think they are animals.

looking at it the only thing that leaps out is fact each successive generation loses more of the ability to think for themselves, and a reliance on gadgets and tech, how many of those groups know how to feed themselves? 

the animal kingdom adapts to survive, the human race looks for the latest "app"

oh well not long now and I can give less ****************s about it than I do currently.

I've always been unsure about all these wacky cohort names that get bandied around, so that was a useful reference. I doubt I'll remember by tomorrow though. 

 

In the interests of the all important transparency; I'm a solid Gen X. Before 43 (ND) gets his knickers in a twist about internet anonymity or something!

Apps are old school mate, it's all about finding an AI Tool to do everything for you now. 

 

It doesn't seem like many in any of those groups knows how to feed themselves. Just look at the ubiquitous UPF/junk "food" that we're surrounded by. Or the flocks of Deliverpoo riders feeding people poo 24/7. Crazy world when you step back and look at it.

It kinda ment something before 2000s.

 

Now it's definitely more a pigeon hole for Z.

As X & Y were easy to separate those that lived as tech was becoming useful but was very analogue Vs those like myself where technology was evolving at such a rate.

 

If you get my clumsy explanation, now it's all AI & nonsensical social media guff and mostly nonsense.

You can of course relax, there was a list on the news yesterday Microsoft have made a list of the professions that AI are going to wipe out, manual work (ie. tree stuff) is safe, customers service phone reps are screwed. Entry level graduate jobs have been wiped out - managers just use AI - but are not hiring anyone to to become experienced to do the stuff AI cannot.

 

(onto topic, one of the very few things Trump (or his advisers at least) has done is try to encouraging chip manufacturers to return to the US - AI chips are the next big thing)

Have I pointed out that AI is shit this week? A mate (solicitor) was over looking at a legal thing with me the other day.

 

"Hang on. I'll put it through chat GPT."

"Don't bother. It's shit. You can't trust it."

"I use it all the time. It's fine as long as you verify the answers."

 

So he puts it through chap GPT, looks puzzled at his phone for about 30 seconds and then reads something utterly unrelated. In the mean time, I've found the answer the longer-form way and am making a mental note to never pay him for anything on billable hours. Or indeed at all.

I'm going leave it a year or so and then start selling stuff that hasn't been enshittified with AI. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank as it'll be a niche market by then. Just imagine the the novelty of being able to trust something that's been written or spoken.
