Ask HN: I want an app to block luddites from my life

I think the luddites may have pre-blocked you using a technology called “vibes.”

There must be some tech solution to that social problem

Stick to interacting with LLMs and you’ll never have to risk interacting with a person with a different perspective.

Quit your job, stay home and claim unemployment benefits. That way you can avoid interacting with anyone who doesn’t agree with your worldview.

To provide a sensible answer: people tend to not be so anti things as having different priorities. I have tinkered with AI, building models etc, but have lost interest because I find the way it is being used is ultimately dangerous. Does that put me in your hate group?

With comments like this, it might be good to sit and think about what you are saying:

"no way llms can be worse than what we have now (absolute gerontocratic retardation) and i think the tech is now good enough."

1. Tell everyone you don’t like to fuck off & avoid everyone who disagrees w you - stop talking to ppl who don’t work in AI and who aren’t under 25. 2. Move to SF - preferably near a university. Do everything via apps & never connect w anyone you don’t like. 3. Define what you mean by “progress” - Luddites didn't hate progress they hated the ppl who destroyed their livelihoods in the worst way for “almost” the shittiest progress known to man (now we call the progress they opposed “a sweatshop”/fast fashion). You might agree w ppl you “hate” more than you think. 4. Enjoy progress!

I would suggest you begin by researching the actual history of luddites.
