Honestly the thing that helped me the most with my time management was Google Maps repeatedly stabbing me in the back. I was always leaving at the last possible second, relying on maps to tell me what that second was.

When I moved to the city and traffic became a serious concern, Google’s ‘20 minute’ estimate would balloon out to 30 minutes on important appointments like doctor’s visits and work. So now I look at the estimate, add the higher of ten minutes or 30% to it, and make it comfortably on time to wherever I was meant to go.

Yeah, it produces a couple of salient points about AI and mental health, but then it feels the need bookend them with these lurid tales of sudden madness. Honestly when you have dudes leaving their wives and kids for chat bots out in the real world, you really don’t need to spin yarns of deific delusions. Or at least you should back them up with a source.

This is exactly what happened to be. I tried Mastodon for a bit but it was kinda boring? So now I’m here.
