Work and consume media. Knowing every content creator and influencer gossip summary and seeimg all the livesteam clips and sharing reels about the drama. I can't think of any useful hobbies for the last few years. We were computer techs in some period of time (friends from school and childhood I was able to get a foot in the door at a company at least starting in my department for a bit) while everyone was doing their college thing but those friends that still kept on with that stopped coding once they saw AI could do it. The others I only know one works on his car but I don't know much on anymore since he's been quiet. Myself and one of the other 6 have stayed active, I'm outdoors adventure active while he is gym active
Hehe. I feel a bit "offended" by the ..."stopped coding once they saw AI could do it." Because that's not my reality. I do a lot of computer hobby stuff, tinkering, electronics... And for me it does shit. Doing the maths for sensor values failed, can't ever do memory allocation the way it's done on microcontrollers. Fails with slightly complex regular software projects... I mean it can do some quick and dirty webdesign and code some rudimentary apps and games if you're into that... Whatever people can do after they read a beginners coding book and a bit of copy-pasta. And it helps look up documentation. But I see zero reason to quit my hobbies with what AI can do as of today ๐
Doesn't sound good, though. I mean a grandpa will consume a lot of media after he can't get up and walk around any more. But that's not how it's supposed to be at 30yo. It is somehow modern society, though. Social interactions get displaced by para-social relations, like to a favorite streamer or influencer and you'd take part in their world. Combined with resignation we get people like incels. I'm about 10 years older and I still have a lot of friends who do stuff. Go running or whatever. Or they have kids and that takes up their time. I can see however, how things like social media steer attention away from human elements of life.
Yeah I don't agree that it's good in coding. I just see the reels that get sent talk about what's promised about it while in reality programs like Windows 11 have code written by AI and sucks with years of bug patches needed of the current damage, not including future
