Every generation has their "I remember when I heard about _____" event. If you were old enough to know what was going on in the world in 2001, you probably remember finding out about the attacks. What were you doing? How did you find out? What do you remember from that day?

TW: AI discussion.

Recently, things have been getting rather crazy with AI to the point that I think many are being forced to reckon with its potential. It has been demonstrated that this technology is capable of solving things like millennium math problems, which has drawn response from many fields medalists. There have been very public instances of big tech losing control of their experiments. Many top researchers are expressing discomfort. Now, of course you could dismiss this all as marketing but I personally think that would be a bit of wishful thinking.

I would like to have an open discussion about the current moment in time. Therefore, I ask you, people of tildes, where do you think we are and where do we go from here? Please feel free to pull out your crystal ball and speculate wildly. Or, please feel free to call it all bunk. I just want to hear your opinion.

• Do you feel concerned about AI or are you still unconvinced?
• Do you think AI will take your job? Why or why not?
• Are you considering a career change or any other big life decisions because of the changing world?
• How are you advising your children, regarding schooling and careers?
• Do you have a subscription to an AI service? If you have one, how do you feel about it?
• Do you think that this technology will be a net positive or a net negative?
• How do you think the human race will change, if at all?
• Do you think we will see a serious incident driven by AI in the near future?
• Does it bother you that humans may not be the dominant intelligence at some point? Do you think this is even possible?
• Does any of this affect your sense of identity or individuality? How do you feel about your skill set and hobbies?
• What do you think it means to be human in a machine dominated world?
• Overall, are you feeling optimistic or pessimistic?

For me personally, I have shared my opinion many times before. It is a rather pessimistic one.

I recognize that this is a heated topic, and I would like to request that even if you disagree with someone, that we treat each other with respect and kindness. Thanks.

I am helping a small business owner make and host a static website. What are the best options for hosting the site and paying for the domain?

For hosting, I was considering GitHub Pages, since it's free and just built in to GitHub.

For the domain registrar, I see a lot of people on places like Reddit discussing Namecheap, Porkbun, Cloudflare, and Ionos. I was originally considering GoDaddy, but I saw a lot of posts were saying that was the #1 place to avoid. I saw a lot of older posts recommending Google Domains, but I see that has since been killed by Google.

So, for about 3 years now, the only game I pretty much play has been Slay the Spire. I have about 650 hours on the first game and almost 400 hours on the 2nd one (which came out in march of this year...). I recently beat (again) A20 with all 4 characters and A10 on all 5 characters in STS2.

I have tried playing other roguelikes, but I always come back to StS because it's the only one that is 1) a difficult enough challenge 2) fun 3) turn based combat 4) intellectually challenging 5) playable with a controller

I tried Balatro, Dicey Dungeons, Slice and Dice, Darkest Dungeon, Vampire Crawlers, Brotato, TFT, Binding of Isaac, Hades, Gungeon...

I liked them all, but none of them provide all my 5 criteria, really.

You guys have any recommendations?
