I’m glad to see that NaNoWriMo was able to articulate a moderate and reasonable position around AI. The vitriolic and largely unreasonable hatred of AI (despite legitimate concerns around training with unauthorized creative work) is technophobic at best. It’s just a new tool, and like new tools, we will adapt to use it ethically over time.

In the meantime, I will both continue using AI to improve my writing as well as be a patron of human artists as I have been for the last 15 years.

Baby Boomers are the new Amish

Technophobic but still rely on just a “little” bit of technology. Just a tiny amount. Just a smidge. Just Cars, Air conditioning, heating, stoves, ovens, airplanes, gps, artifical intelligence, the internet, and PHONES. The biggest thing baby boomers love to complain about is PHONES. Yet they claim to be so dead set on ensuring that their kids aren’t allowed to use them.

People joke about the Amish for giving up on technology advancements but only up to a certain point as they still have houses, communities, and buggies. But the real problem is Baby boomers and their refusal to embrace and understand technology.

In response ...

I didn’t want to just jump onto someone else’s post, so I’m replying to this post from @pierceaholic in reference to the boss being a technophobe. 

I actually try to embrace this aspect for most of my bosses. Though it shows up in different small ways for all of them. 

I enjoy the technophobic boss. In fact, I really tried to make all my bosses embrace that trait, though each does have tiny little skills in that arena. Some can barely work their phones, while others are a little more savvy. But none of them could even come close to Shaundi’s skills which pale in comparison to Matt and Kinzie’s, of course. 

Remy is only skilled with tech that destroys--e.g., scopes and explosives. Beyond that she’s very much a luddite. SHe can barely work her old Nokia phone, that she keeps forever and a day until an incident with the Luchadores and one of their trucks (one of those automatic grenade weapons may also have been involved) shows her that the phone actually isn’t as indestructible as she thought it was.

Furia’s got shelves of notebooks, journals filled with scribbles and artwork, as well as old journals of her mother and grandmothers. That tradition was passed to her in that way. It’s something that has to be addressed in SRIV because she is highly computer phobic. Though she is tech savvy enough to change ringtones (her baby brother taught), and send texts. With the advent of “OK Google” type services she got a little better at it, but she’s more likely to lose or destroy her phone than any other boss. 

Cinq is probably the savviest. He’s neurotic about his phone and what’s viewable. Being a bit of a hound, that shouldn’t be surprising. I bet Shaundi shared most of her tips with him before they started sleeping together. He’s on social media and good at building interactions there.

Ravi is probably the least tech savvy. She doesn’t do well with phones, does worse with computers. About the only technology she’s well-versed in is Matt Miller.

Wei Sheng breaks the mold, but only a little. He’s pretty good with his tech. He can work a computer, probably even handle some spreadsheet functions and the like, but he’s not a hacker or anything extensive like that. But he could get done what he wants.

Technophobia- Fear of technology

[crimsonbubbles]

there’s a post making the rounds, of a picture of the Titanic going down and all the survivors in the water are getting it on their smart phones and idk if it’s one of those “we really have a messed up generation that people would do that kind of thing if they could” posts, but why wouldn’t you do that kind of thing tbh? if there’s a huge event like that that goes down in history (bad word choice) then sharing it using smart phones and the internet is a blessing of this generation, not a curse; never before in the history of anything has information and knowledge been so easy for anyone (with the wifi password) to access, it offers a whole new perspective on things from the view not of winners or losers, but of passers-by who see things exactly as we would. 

I just felt the need to get that off my chest
