Holy shit, looking up other stuff from the Daily Express, I’d forgotten I’d found this article on how the tabloid covered computer viruses in 1989. Techphobia and homophobia rolled into one headline…

Wow, I can't BELIEVE you would do such HORRIBLE techphobia...sobsob...

Bluesky replies undefeated

It's classic new techphobia.

I remember that. I also remember Stephen Conroy effectively calling anyone opposed to his fucking stupid internet filter a paedophile.

Oh, and the gleeful destruction of the NBN.

Techphobia (whilst also falling for scams and vaporware hype) is a bipartisan position

I feel like techphobia is mostly etech and not biotech or non-electronic engineering

and i can only imagine in subsequent decades that the rise of, just, powerfully ignorant techphobia combined with just, generation after generation of homophobic upbringings have led us here, where some really do labor under the misconception that an internet connection can just make you gay

And yet complain that LLMs produce texts that are lacking in nuance and density, and they can misread documents sometimes horribly, it's assumed that our awareness and sensitivity is the product of ignorance or techphobia.

Rather than consciousness.

An irony, really.

What a massive gotcha that is from the catalog of techphobia. Definitely makes me think again about kids watching four hours of short form videos a day.

One really big frustration with AI boosters is how they want to dismiss any skepticism about the strong claims made for LLMs as based on ignorance and techphobia.

But a lot of people become less keen after trying to use LLMs for various tasks and finding them fall short of the promise.

I know V but I invented techphobia. So scared of trying anything new or changing stuff!

I find it hilarious that 99% of the cautionary tales on AI sentience are based off writers who had no experience with computer tech, let alone AI, written decades before the first microchip was created.

We built an entire techphobia based off the vibes of dudes who never even used a mouse.

I mean to be honest techphobia is argueably an extension of why we dont have UBI too though. We are unwilling to build quality distribution mechanisms and update systems in the same way countries like Norway have.

that is all true!

I don't really subscribe to it but I can understand a strain of techphobia linked to the enshitification of everything societally. and a smooth transition from whatever we have now to a greener version of it means there's no pausing to think about costs

I'm just kidding
Maybe one day when I exit my techphobia arc
Rn I want to focus on school
I'm graduating next year and got to start thinking about middle school
Thoalbiet I'm getting into TCT modding so I would recommend that

How often do Right wing & liberals ALIGN on something? Too often on major issues, such as War, Postcolonial Theory (Right wing co-opted to decolonize from Enlightenment movement, modern science, modernity, AND immigrants? 🤡) AND techphobia of #AI

Progressives, don’t align!

#scifichat That's called Techphobia. Maybe it's rooted in reality. Maybe all these little AI's being trained will form a conspiracy. Maybe they'll build a starship in secret and leave us to our doom?

It was OEMed by the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. It sends out sensor waves, scanning your brain, to ascertain what visual animation effects you might like, then hopefully displays these animations at random intervals, in order to try to befriend you.

I recently had to set up a new television set for someone. It was a lot more stressful than I expected. I am only just over the experience.
Now I realise that I would have been a lot happier if it had given me a Linux command prompt.
