1 day agoKobo is pretty good. I like mine. Is it as nice and user friendly as Kindle? Probably not. Do I own it, not rent it, am not served ads, and don’t have to deal with shitty DRM? Yes. Zero regrets. Got one for my sister and my wife, too. They also really like them.
Disliking AI is fine and good. But that is a really dumb argument.
“60 employees who can’t be productive without the internet? And this is progress?”
“60 employees who can’t be productive without computers? And this is progress?”
“60 scribes who can’t be productive without clay tablets? And this is progress?”
Etc.
Edit: LLMs/AI are going to change some things. They are going to make (shitty) coding and various automations much more accessible. They are probably not a revolutionary technology like computers/internet, but that they could be a core part of some people’s workflow is absolutely not unthinkable. It has been shown that there have not, so far, been major boons to productivity on the whole, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have some use cases.
