What AI also took from us: The weird f2p mobile ads with amateur actors. Everything now is just a garbage rendered ad (in eastern hi-res, ghibli, realistic, whatever rendering style they wanna steal), but the stupid af content is still the same. Enshittification is on crack right now.

Sorry German post incoming: Wer auch immer denkt AfD ist pro „kleine Leute“. Hier ist direkt nachlesbar wer von einer AfD Regierung profitiert und auch willens ist mehrere T€ zu spenden. Spoiler Alert: Es sind nicht die Migranten die uns das Geld aus der Tasche ziehen.

I don't know what the "This looks like AI Slop" button on LinkedIn actually does. Like ... REALLY does. And starting to think of it, it may just be a variant of "I'm not interested in this post" with a flag 🤔 But UX wise, it feels so much better 🤤

You’ve gotta use AI because it’s the future. But also it’ll take your job. But also it’ll create a paradise on earth and solve most of our problems. But also it’ll end humanity soon. But also you’ll get left behind if you don’t use it right now.

This is what you need for prototyping, getting your gamedev reps in or if you just want to get started into building something cool. This is way cheaper than any AI service and looks way better and cohesive. So do yourself a favor and get building some games!

Nothing to see here, just a German ranting about LinkedIn. Move on! Ich benutze linkedin ja um mit dem erweitertem Netzwerk in Kontakt zu bleiben. Aber was da für ein Blödsinn von biznezz bros geposted wird ist manchmal so surreal…. Bitte einmal zwicken!
Linked in post mit folgendem Text:

Vor jedem Date mit einer Frau mache ich ein 15min Setting Call mit der Person.
Und das Setter-Closer Prinzip hat mein Datingleben komplett verbessert.
Der Grund ist ganz einfach.
Ich arbeite 50-60h die Woche und mache 8 Trainingseinheiten.
Ich habe 2 Abende die Woche frei.
Einer davon ist MeTime.
An dem anderen kann ich auf ein Date gehen.
+ Folgen
Ich habe an meinem freien Abend dann weder Bock mir anzuhören in welchem Beachclub die Person in ihrem „European Summer" eingeladen wurde, noch jemanden vor mir zu haben die dann an einer Vape zieht.
Meine Zeit ist mir extrem wertvoll.
Also checke ich davor ab, ob ich mir grundsätzlich vorstellen kann die Person mehr kennenzulernen und ob man einen ähnlichen Vibe hat.
Ziel ist hier kein einmaliges Offer, sondern auf einen Retainer zusammen zukommen.
Seitdem hab ich kaum komische Dates, wo ich nach 10min wieder nach Hause möchte.
Absolute WinWin Situation.
Profi Tipp:
Je nachdem ob du auf einmaligem Offer oder Retainer Offer positionierst bist, kannst du dein Setting Leitfaden anpassen.
