While message is good, this ChatGPT article is unreadable. If this, then that. No point in reading some distilled, glossed over LLM bullshit.
But power user is dying and they are unable to write even a single blog post now.
The argument is based on the assumption that knowing what DNS, SSH, etc., is an innate good for the average person. But why should it be? The average user does not have the time or interest to run arbitrary code on their phone. In the same way that I do not have the time or interest to service my own car. Could I learn it if need be? Probably. Could they learn how to SSH into a server, change DNS settings, or clone a git repo? Probably. Is either of them worth our time? Probably not.
"You’ve built a generation that can’t extract a zip file without a dedicated app and calls it innovation"
OK, I'll bite - how does anyone extract a zip file with no dedicated app? Does one write their own un-zip app?
> We Raised a Generation That Doesn’t Know How Anything Works
Thinking is dangerous. That's why we dumbed down schools, media and everyday life.
People learn to code without having the slightest idea what a computer is and how this code is executed.
In the end this benefits governments and 3 letter Agencies.
> If this, then that. No point in reading some distilled, glossed over LLM bullshit.
My advice would be to get used to this style, or otherwise you'd risk to miss out lots of interesting articles.
Please further explain what you mean. I think this is a pretty interesting and well written article, but your comment made me doubt myself.
> The average user does not have the time or interest to run arbitrary code on their phone
You mean that apps installed by Play Store or Apple Store are not "arbitrary code" ? especially when some of them have updates every couple of months.
