#PhoneBrain
CarBrain + PhoneBrain = 0. They cancel each other out.

At the least, it’s hard to be optimistic that the emergent AI + phonebrain wombo-combo might reverse the trend—in school or, as Robert observes, more broadly

it is perfectly sane and normal to both love your phonebrain and hate some propellerhead doing numberwang on an algorithm to try and get you off the payroll.

to stream content all day AND not want skills you've spent 30 years honing to be diminished by some $-driven ghoul.

100% compatible ideas.
fam, don't be mad if someone calls you a "Luddite" meaning "scared of tech".
not what it means.
the Luddites knew (much) tech was just capitalist interventions destroying the value of their labour.
so they fought back. w/ direct action.
tech isn't always 'labour saving'. it's 'revenue shifting'.

It is what they want it to be. Not the artists or devs, but the people pulling the strings. It's been said in interviews that they were appealing to phonebrain with the streamlining. Nintendo keep clearing their buggy messes for release because people keep buying them. The result is empty fields.

the general impression of 'a human with a phone' is not the impression of a parrot owner! it's a phonebrain that grew rudimentary legs that stumble a little behind, and the human the appendicitis, no matter if it's chatty or a classmate that took possession of the phone.
