zintismay.bsky.social @zintismay.bsky.social · 03/03/2026I'm skeptical of the AI boom. It can be useful, like a really focused, specialized model that reads x-rays or checks seismic activity. Becoming overly reliant on it for normal stuff opens your life up to getting disrupted when it goes down. Like right now with Claude. 100
