I’ve never used one, though a mate uses chat gtp constantly so I make him ask it things fairly often. However, I’ve just bookmarked DDG, that seems useful. If there’s a similarly private voice assistant for iOS (that works better than Siri) then I’d probably use that in preference to a traditional search engine a lot of the time
The post below this one in my feed is “Microsoft’s carbon emissions up by 30% due to ai”
That’s why this is such an issue, that’s 128% microplastic, just between those two things!
Speaking from personal experience, knowing that there’s a reason I behave a certain way has been pretty liberating. I spent my whole adult life up to my late thirties thinking I’d broken my brain or was just lazy and couldn’t concentrate. Knowing that that’s just how my brain is wired has made me feel a lot better about myself, and be less harsh to myself when I fuck up, and then being able to learn coping strategies of others in a similar situation has also really helped.
If you can give up on a new hobby or whatever BEFORE you’ve bought all the things and made your life even more messy isn’t a bad thing at all. If you’ve lent into it and bought all the stuff and nonsense, try to cycle through past hobbies rather than pick up new ones constantly. Find hobbies that complement each other, or use stuff that you already own, and ones that have low cost to try out. If you’re not making yourself skint or your life more messy by trying them out, then trying and quitting doesn’t matter at all, it just increases the chance of you finding something you really enjoy doing.
