Why are we trying to give up everything that makes us human by offloading it to a machine

Because we don't enjoy actually doing it. No one who likes writing is asking chat gpt to write for them. It's people who don't want to write but are required to for whatever reason. Humans will always try to come up with a way to not have to do the work they don't want to but still get it done, even if it's not as good. Using tools like this is very human.

I'm so sad we voted against it. Legalizing magic mushrooms had more support than making tipped minimum wage the same as normal minimum wage.

Or the result of cost cutting...

It's crazy how different people are. The idea of sitting through a video to do something like this is so painful to me. Like I find it useful for physical things where seeing the motion can be helpful, but I still generally find doing things that way awful. Please, please, please just give me written instructions for things. Especially if I'm going to need to refer back to it a few times (e.g. there are multiple steps that take a bit of time).

Do VPNs make that feature kind of pointless? We can't access most things from home without going through a VPN. Every where I've worked (and gone to school) was like that.

Does your RSVP have options for remote vs in person? My options are "accept", "decline", and "tentative." If I want to tell someone I'm remote that day, it needs to be a separate message.

Caffeine is physically addictive. You get withdrawals if you're addicted and stop cold turkey. It does vary person to person. But most people get a splitting headache.

That's because they are. It's just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

Introverts don't not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. "You're not people" is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.

Right? Grown ups can be trusted to get their work done without someone watching them all the time. It's small children who need constant supervision.

In exchange, Microsoft can give them some special access or special keys or some backdoor.

They might be doing this. The thing is, putting something like that in makes so much more likely you'll accidentally create an exploit for other actors as well. It's why security experts are so against backdoors. They fundamentally compromise security.
