Do I Even Like Computers Anymore?

The mid-2026 state of the tech

I like computers. I like to look into a computer to see what was in them. I like to write little codes and thinking about maths and logics. I like installing random OS I found online and just screw around in them. I even like to . I really like computers. It's one of my favorite hobbies.


I don't really know if I ever want to like them anymore.


Maybe it's the current state of tech at large, but just the idea of liking tech in anyway gives me this kind of disgust that it

It's the future! We will be in there!

Hey so I don't know if you know this, but I heard that is on the rage right now. Did you know you can create a novel in mere seconds? Wanna make art but you don't know how to do it? Call them up and have your own "masterpieces" in minutes! Go and use it! You can do anything!

And I hate that.

Here's the thing. I don't think that so called Arti Inte is all bad. It could have some usage! If it was limited to "ML with ", that would be fine. But the everyone was raving about: the generative kind, that I, and many others, dispise with a passion.

Not gonna reiterate how inefficient and unethical these sort of things are. That they need enormous ammount of data to train (many of them they don't got permission to use), a metric ton of energy to compute, and most of time doesn't return a comprehendable or mostly accurate results, because they can't, and will not, think for themself, they only predict what the words mean and what will come up with that.

It's everywhere

It all feels like the people/company pushing this crap thinks that we, the consumer, are stupid and we will have to use their cool robot to do our daily life. Oh you don't know where to get dinner for your partner? You can just look at any plane near you and pick one you interested. But we know you can't do that! You have your best friend Gemini! Tell him where to go! He knows what places have banger foods! Hey you numbfuck! Can't write a single e-mail to save your life? Go and let our guys do it for you! And for what? How many money have they put into all of this and how much they made for it? I can tell you (or rather, rephrase other people's word for it(love you ed)), FAR TOO MUCH & NOT A WHOLE LOT.

Some people will insist that if we can't get used to it, we would be "left behind" or some shit, we have to put it everywhere in our life or else you won't be a "modern citezen". Why tho? Why would I want the, still in prototype, super autocorrect machine controlling what I do? What things can it do that I couldn't? If I want to write a crappy story, I have myself! I don't need a machine to give me some dull & boring wall of "words", I can just smack my keyboard around and come up with something uncomprehendable beyond beief! I know how to code. I might not do a great job at it, but at least I know what codes I just wrote. I don't need all those abomination... cat thing, I can draw one myself! I'll do it right now!

Busted up my "mspaint" and got this one done in a minute.

Welcome to the torment nexus, population: everyone

You know, I'm yapping all of this without touching on one major points against it. And this time, I'm gonna put my

2025 sure was a year alright. The year where everyone seemingly went insane. The year where the world's biggest nation started to be a man-baby and throw out . As of, oh god, half a year into 2026, the madness doesn't stop. We got, what, 300 wars going on at the same time? Everything is expensive. Wh

I am living in Taiwan rn, which, has it's share of problems. But having to read what every other place, esp US, the biggest nation today, are crashing out, it's rather bleak to say the least.

Lights at the tunnel

At least in western teritory, many people . We east asians haven't

And while the big tech is burning down, I at least have that others are working on fun things.
