Took me a moment

Not a meltdown at all. Calmly spoken nonsense. Title is clickbait. There, I’ve slammed them.

No no no! The “show all posts in reverse chronological order” cannot be a description of an outcome; it is phrased as a request or a command. The outcome description would be “posts get shown in reverse chronological order”! Also there is no way to show all posts, that’s not really possible with finite resources.

Unless you were thinking of an algorithm that prints out text “show all posts in reverse chronological order”, then you are completely right in that being the outcome.

Flags didn’t do much for us so far.

Being in “this is obviously wrong” category, I have no choice but to downvote this.

Do it to have a laugh but don’t kid yourself this will change anything. Your time is limited and precious, the machine can scale beyond our comprehension. It doesn’t feel and can’t be humiliated or humbled.

It’s not even about skill atrophy, it’s more subtle. You can quickly relearn forgotten skills.

Unlearning a habit, on the other hand, is much harder. If you get into habit of reaching for AI anytime something hard needs to get done it’s going to wreck your internal motivation and reward system. meme_historian describes it really well in this thread, I noticed the same thing happening to me.
