Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said "what's that?" I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded "OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words". The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.

I was helping a co-worker with their broken phone. Just saving the pictures from their phone to the computer.

Me: 'OK, I'm just going to make a folder on the desktop for now. You can move it from there to wherever you want to keep them'

Co-worker: 'I don't think I have a desktop'

Maybe unrealated, but they are also the most pro-AI of my coworkers. Open to just asking chat gpt for worksheets for thier students...

In my experience, the most pro llm/chatbot slop people are the most idiotic in terms of tech literacy. Its probably why they like it, it makes them feel smart and "techy" even though they have no fucking clue how computers work.
