“Towards a quieter, friendlier web” by @cory

🔗 https://coryd.dev/posts/2024/towards-a-quieter-friendlier-web/

> Be kind, be honest and engage on your own terms. Walk away from anything that doesn't serve you and don't be afraid to craft a browsing experience that best suits you. A healthier web is one that's slower, friendly and serves you. Eschew things that make demands of you, insist or impose upon your time and attention.

Why do some people get so easily influenced by what "popular" people on the internet are saying!?

It seems those people don't have a will on their own. Even if that "popular" person has experience in some topic, don't let that drown out your own inner voice about that topic! You are on to something! Trust your !

(Of course this doesn't mean you shouldn't be open-minded to other people's perspectives and willing to learn from others.)

“Facts are irrelevant to the truth of the experience OpenAI sells, which is grounded in the fantasy of having someone you can always talk to and boss around without having to worry about managing their performance. The chatbot performs “assistance” in a way that makes its actually doing anything more and more beside the point”
