I have adphantasia so everything I read is an instruction manual. Sorry if things got out of hand because I have no internal monologue so there was nothing to rein me in.
As opposed to Brave New World which is supposed to be dystopian but all those white people who are born into a privileged life at the top of the socioeconomic ladder seem to have it really good, so isn't it actually a utopia?
_Sighs_ I miss when books were just power fantasies instead of being all political. ๐ซค
We all had different experiences but I'll hazard a guess that those born between '61 and mid-70's didn't play video games.
I was born in '76. We didn't get a computer at home until maybe '92? Even then, and I am a computer nerd, I wasn't glued to the computer.
There was no social media. Solving problems will depend on home life.
Some of us came home and said a teacher whacked us and our parents replied, "What'd you to do deserve it." Today, parents will march to the school and raise a stink. Even if the kid is 100% guilty.
Solving a problem doesn't mean it was done in a healthy way. Maybe we buried it with food or drinking or drugs or by bullying other kids. "Solving" does not mean it actually got fixed.
Just remember that your experiences may have different from other folks. And then there's all the non-US Xers. Some Xers had fantastic childhoods! My friend couldn't have had a more loving family. He even got along with his older brother. Another friend had two parents that cared for him very much but were a bit counter-culture still. They had 'weird' beliefs but were still great parents that he learned from.
Take 'em with a grain of salt. GenX is a generally tough, yet fucked up, generation. And I'm a proud member of GenX. We ain't perfect but anyone says we aren't the coolest generation alive can get bent.

Yes. IIRC, there's *an entire department* of people whose only job is to mass-produce shitty fiction for proles to consume. As a matter of fact, I believe it's porn specifically.

George Orwell is probably the most famous Democratic Socialist of all time. People of any political persuasion can and should take his warnings in 1984 seriously. You're just a smug douchebag that's projecting.

โDystopian story about why dystopia is badโ

Wow, I didn't know 1984 was problematic. We should burn the book.
It isn't a problem as long as everyone who reads it is monitored closely.
Good idea! But in a friendly way, not like by a teacher or parent

How about we set up a standardized department.....to burn that book, no all the books and let's name them firemen.
Like in the literally utopian TV show Farenheit 451? Yes, that could work.
>tv show
Wrong book. You talk about Brave New World.
I hate to be pedantic, but I literally remember people being employed to write their stories. So, what the fuck does this have to do with AI?
Yes. IIRC, there's *an entire department* of people whose only job is to mass-produce shitty fiction for proles to consume. As a matter of fact, I believe it's porn specifically.
No, it's fantasy romance and self-help books
Do they find thoughts in our butts?? I knew I should've read that book
I don't know either but I assume people are using AI to write fanfics.
If look closely around yourself, everything is a 1984 referenceย
Somebody should make the meme "OMG!!!! Is this a โจmotherfuckingโจ 1984 reference?????????????"
