I use rock mostly.
I have a weather rock outside my kitchen window. If I look out and it's wet, I know it's raining. if I look out and it's white, I know it's snowing.
Likewise, I have a fitness rock about 100 yards up the mountain. If I can get to it, I know I'm fit. If I can't, I know I'm not.
Do folks seriously need all these gadgets to figure out the world within arm's reach?
.
"Need"? No.
And they don't understand just how dangerous integrating our lives with AI, has the potential to be.
The biggest problem I have with the devices is that we don't use the devices to adapt to our needs, we change our behaviors to adapt to the devices.
As parents we are supposed to provide our children with the tools for survival. How will our children fare if all we have taught them, leaves them relying on devices that will fail them when they need them the most, or a world where their survival depends on those that will assess their value by whether they are deemed useless but easily made useable, or expendable?
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
