Thank you for the introduction. I finally have proof that all those "videos from the future" are fake. I knew they were, just didn't know what planar tracking was.

On another note: the Humane AI is released. Maybe the scam is that it's damn slow?

For a minute there I thought you described us (HN readership).

I'm hooked. Who was that?

Ok, this is weird. I just saw this book on a YouTube short a few moments ago. And now I see it here. Interesting? Could be that this is trending but the paranoia within has me leaning towards the old suspicion: the Internet is a unique bubble for each one of us. LoL

Yeah, that's basically how I saw it (someone apparently reposted the YouTube short on another website.) I was actually intrigued enough to further look into it, and have no regrets about having done so.

Someone in IT should do the same but specifically for printers.

Checking it out...thank you so much

Yep. It's not the clueless HR but systematic. I have yet to read anything specific about why this happens and the benefits of it.

One of the reasons I have realized is that it's sometimes about control. A manager (people, project, product) will not have as much control over an experienced employee who has potentially been at the company a long time or just has a lot of experience in general in terms of getting what they want from the employee, despite the employee having the business' best interest in mind. So it's an implicit attrition that seems to sometimes be desired.

Really? You don't read anything in parentheses? I think that would be harder to do (I'm joking, don't take it seriously) than actually reading the parenthetical information.

> I think that would be harder to do than actually reading the parenthetical information.

You must be joking, right?

When TikTok first came out, I thought it was ridiculous that people would just keep scrolling short videos for hours. I got sick one day, check it out, and spent half a day scrolling. I immediately uninstalled it.

I like having a smartphone. And as I have no kids, I only go home a few hours before I am to sleep. I can't have my workstation in my car, but the phone suffices most days.

But your opinion got me thinking: what gadget would I replace my phone with? Maybe a flip phone, a kindle, and one of those AI rabbit gadgets.

This is awesome and extremely benefetial in this AI era. But the paranoid part of my brain doesn't like that.
