Picture posts from people I don’t follow about things that have nothing to do in my feed. And there’s no way to say “I don’t want this”. Probably worse than AI slop videos. #youtube #enshittification

I’ve now had several software subscriptions following the same pattern: 1. Stuff random ai features everywhere 2. Price increase… I’m at a point where I’d be ready to pay more to get the ai free version back.

Dear YouTube AI slop makers. Can you at least switch up the voice every now and then from the default setting? Half of YouTube shorts has the same voice now… but well, going to look at the kitties on mute then.

After a cancelled train and one switching platforms two 2 min before departure, IF you still make your long distance train, you have at least the privilege to enjoy edge signal while not being able to get any food. German public transportation. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Today the amazing public transportation in Stuttgart takes me 2:10 to get from Ludwigsburg to my appartment in Esslingen. That‘s 30 km. By car I can get to Zurich in 2:30. It’s just getting ridiculous by now.

So apparently companies don’t tell you anymore that they are comparing providers and according to which criteria. The just ask for a proposal for something fluffy and tell you afterwards „btw, we actually only want this off the shelf thing and are comparing for price“. Disrespectful.

Ok, I briefed ChatGPT to act as a master copywriter, research scientific evidence on this matter, think long and hard and then suggest improvements. It makes it more salesy in a way I don’t like. And it makes the content worse. By how it’s rearranging it, I can see it’s not understanding the nuance.

Deutsche Bahn makes me strongly consider flying longer distances within Germany again. It’s almost impossible to justify the time investment and the amount of delay, not to speak of letting people wait..

Wir suchen ab sofort eine/n Kaufmann/-frau für Büromanagement (m/w/d), Berlin-Mitte, halbe Stelle, sehr hoher Anteil Homeoffice. Ja, das sind KI Bilder, Photos von uns selbst gibt es auf der Seite „Unser Team“, Link zur detaillierten Ausschreibung der Stelle ist im ersten Kommentar.

Today at the pharmacy Dude <orders some kind of homeopathic pills> Clerk: „Any questions about intake?“ Dude: „No. I mean I could take a hundred of those at once and I think it won’t make any difference.“ Me: …

Germany, where you do not even have have stable enough mobile reception to have a phone call on a train ride between two major cities. I had better reception in the middle of Transilvania where there is a whole lot of nothing and free roaming bears.

Every time I try to use ChatGPT for something more than a surface level research task, it starts to blatantly make up stuff. If I ask it for sources, it sometimes even makes up the source. Sometimes it uses an existing source that is about something entirely different. 🤖💩

I was just asked what my age, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability status is for a conference submission. By an American company. Without indication of what the data is used for. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s fascinating how mindfulness comes from a non-dualistic background and involves overcoming the ego and at the same time seems to produce ever increasing numbers of egoistic pricks. Where did it go wrong?

Amazing. When your domain providers software lets you make changes to dns records without telling you there is another active setting that will reset everything inadvertently. And suddenly it’s silent in your work inbox while you wait for an important reply from client…
