I feel out of touch. I have no idea what ghibli is. Does this mean im old now

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studio_Ghibli You've probably heard of some of these, and if not, I would recommend checking them out!

Yeah I would like to check their stuff out! Ill have to see where I can watch some of their stuff. But the name is vaguely familiar. So maybe I have seen some and just don’t realize it

You've never heard of Studio Ghibli, makers of famous animated movies such as "Princess Mononoke" or "Spirited Away" ?

If that's the case, you have either been old for 30 years or you are actually too young.

Thank you for sharing this. Yeah tbh I am kind of a rock dweller. My wife was teasing me because I thought Alicia Keys was some 50-60 yr old white woman. When I saw her rehearsal on apple tv I was very confused for a moment there. My wife also thinks I am fucking tismed. I think I am just rarted but who really knows

I was leery of AI early on, but people told me it has tons of good potential uses. Sure, it seems to help search results, but almost every other time I hear about AI, it’s for negative reasons.

We've had ai for decades and it has infinite uses, finding cancer, observing space, math, doing corporate busywork, etc. the generative ai we have now is only good for hurting artists and culture.

I imagine half the people using generative ai for memes wouldn’t have been able to even get online in the 90’s since you had to shop for a modem, install it in an ISA slot (yes, open the scary computer box), determine compatible IRQ settings and reflect them in BIOS, hardware jumper, and software, find (or sign up for) a valid BBS / internet service, set the proper software protocol, and troubleshoot why it didn’t work the first time. I almost wish my computer made modem connecting sounds when downloading a file. Yes, this is my “walked uphill to school” story. :)

A d that's a great depiction on how the space you chose to be and the people you surround yourself with can and will shape your thoughts.

If you would have been surrounded by a different environment you would have read different news and opinions and you may had not change your mind in that regard.
