Watcher (and why nothing matters anymore):

So, in case you've been locked away under a proverbial bridge for a few days, Internet personalities Steven Lim, Ryan Bergara, and Shane Madej (known as Watcher) have elected to begin their own streaming service and ditch YouTube.

On the surface, that mightn't even seem like news at all.

After all, this sort of thing seems to happen all the time: The Try Guys left Buzzfeed to create their own company, Rhett and Link took the dive and diversified into paywalled entertainment a few years back with Mythical Society. Both of which however still rely on YouTube itself to generate views on the main channels, which funnel viewers into a FOMO type situation where "you can't miss" a special airing on the app (Mythical Society) or Patreon (Try Guys).

Watcher, in its infinite wisdom (stupidity, carelessness, unparalleled greed - take your pick) has decided that YouTube is pointless, and has moved ALL their content behind a paywall, claiming that the service was amping up to provide "TV quality programming", leaving only old content and the first episodes of the new shows up on their YouTube page as a subtle tease as to what you could get for $6/month.

It's now quite apparent from reading the comments section of their (now infamous) YouTube video, their official subreddit, and the tag on X that the fans were...not thrilled. The fingers began to be pointed within minutes. Name calling soon after. Then this blossomed into dissertations on why this was a horrible idea.

Then we found out that there was no app. Just a website. So you're paying for website access. Not a full blown streaming service to rival Netflix. Oh, and they don't even have their own servers, the videos are hosted by Vimeo. The deeper the comments section dug, the nastier the attacks got. Steven soon became the whipping boy. His past, his interviews, scanned and mercurially dug up for juicy tidbits (although all anyone gleaned from these was he's rich, was born rich, drives a Tesla in LA, likes fancy food, and has friends whom he values who are racist and possibly sexist and will not sever ties with them).

Then came the cries of incongruity. Shane Madej repeatedly said to "Eat the Rich", and here he was schilling for a platform that cost $6 a month. The cries began to pirate all of the new Watcher content because maybe he was under duress and was secretly telling them to do so. Fact is, I don't know if he was or what, but I'm certain he's under contract and wants his job.

Then came the videos from other internet users analyzing the video, and comparing this to the Try Guys situation with Ned a few months back. Both are disasters, each in unique ways with different players, and such like but here's the vast difference: none of this will even matter in a month.

Let me explain: We are in the total free fall stage of Watcher's Internet Streamer Service. What they do in the next 24-48 hours is crucial. If they revert back to their YouTube channel and apologize, they'll be fine. People will probably poke fun at them, but they'll be forgiven, eventually. But if they don't and they keep on, ignoring the fans, dousing the haters, and make it a month, I doubt we will see any resistance outside of a terse article or two.

Why? The collective memory span in this day and age is extremely short, many have likely already made judgment in their head and have passed said judgment. Therefore, they'll avoid the channel, and the streamer and will be blissfully unaware of any changes. Those who have joined up and paid will remain members, and those who have elected to remain subscribed will likely remain so and will watch the free content until they can afford the $6/month.

The thing is like it or hate it, if they decide to do nothing and ignore the public at large, they most likely will be fine. Maybe they will not have the hugest subscriber base, but people will forget about this. Something else major that is more salacious will spring up in the months ahead. Will there be lingering anger? Sure, but like I said before, these people have already passed judgment so they're already gone.

In an era of "nothing fucking matters" when your choices are sometimes entirely out of your direct control and are (at best) two sides of the same coin, it should be of absolutely no surprise to anyone that there is a fairly good possibility even after all that has transpired that nothing bad will happen. Lest we forget that old adage: "there is no such thing as bad PR".

Personally, I feel $6 is a tad much for a non-app based web streamer with little to no content. It was disingenuous to announce its launch internationally where even more people can't afford it, and some can't even view it. Steven wasn't upfront with who was in charge and now it really does seem like he's using the subscriptions to fund his international gallivanting. It's clear nobody wanted TV-show quality Ghost Files to take place in another country, nor did they want an old show revived with votes when you pay the first month's dues. They say it's a case of Watcher "not reading the room".

AI Can't Be the Whole Solution for Manga

So this week I found out out a Japanese start-up called Orange, who wants to be the Netflix of manga by translating a lot of manga with new apps and tools for the world to fight against online piracy. And to do so, the company will use AI to machine translate all of their manga into English. They also received $20 million USD in funding (one of their investors is Shogakukan) for their goal. This company wants to release up to 500 titles a month at some point.

I honestly don't know how to feel about this.

I read a more in-depth report from Deb Aoki of ComicsBeat and Mangasplaining about this whole startup. There's a lot of tout given by Orange about how this will help the manga industry overseas. Terms like deep learning, accessible content, influencers, reducing cost of localization, etc. are thrown around. Orange already has done some work for Shueisha for some of its MangaPlus titles. While it's apparent that the North American market only gets a small fraction of the manga published in Japan, there's concerns over whether this endeavor will end well.

A good number of manga translators and editors in the North American localization scene have commented on how bad this can be. AI machine translation is far from perfect. While DeepL (a Japanese language translation app similar to Google Translate) is arguably better than Google Translate, there's still errors abound. AI machine translation doesn't seem to be at a stage where you can just show it off to the world and have it translate something like a research paper with context. And even if the translation was good, there still needs to be people to fix errors AI will miss and the jobs to fix those errors don't necessarily pay well since they're the equivalent of "data entry" jobs.

And speaking as someone who reads up on mental health news, AI is not good for picking up nuances and differences that can help people for the better. It's only good for standardizing universal treatments. AI can not be open to the vulnerabilities of other people. One recent story I read last year was about a eating disorder helpline that created a chatbot to help those with eating disorders and how it bombed. There were complaints about how the bot didn't address patients' concerns that they were feeling down or bad about their bodies. Even worse, the chatbot gave some horrible advice by telling people to follow behaviors that led to their eating disorders in the first place. The support staff was fired in favor of the chatbot and while the chatbot was taken down after the complaints, it still left a bad taste in my mouth because mental health problems can never be solved without the human element.

I see this with what's apparently going to happen with manga. I don't see this creating a better world for manga readers. I'm well aware that there are a few professional manga translators in the scene who aren't doing a good job, but I feel they're doing fine for the most part. There's a glaring issue though that most people aren't thinking about - the amount of content we have out there.

We're in a golden age of having so much catered to us that it's ridiculous. Anime, manga, webtoons, video games, board games, music, etc. There's a lot out there. And to have a Japanese startup proclaim that they want to put out up to 500 titles a month, who realistically has the time to read all of them? I wonder if that's the point of these ventures - beat down consumers with so much material to consume that they become apathetic to what's going on behind the scenes.

I do want people to read manga, but I don't want them to become so overwhelmed to the point of burnout and numbness. That's the last thing any manga fan should want. I'm already hearing complaints from my fellow manga peers about the amount of manga we're getting here. It's nice to see bookshelves and libraries filled with manga, but which titles are really being read?

I also think there seems to be no universal standard that EVERYONE can agree with regards to localization. You have the professional side that knows a lot due to being inside the industry, but can be hindered by the Japanese publishing side and pestered by fans who think they know better. And you have the fan side that thinks they know everything because of scanlations and miscellaneous fan translations.

If you're a professional, it's a rough job and I applaud all manga freelancers who do it. Sometimes, I may not agree with the localization choices. But I'm not going to raise a pitchfork and treat them like they're witches. I know a few of those folks in-person and see the human in them.

If you're a fan, you can't expect a very casual reader to understand Japanese terms being spoken out right off the bat. It takes a while to get used to those terms. I'll use myself as an example as a riichi mahjong player. I throw out terms like suji, kabe, mentanpin, ryanmen, etc. to my fellow players. However, if there's an absolute beginner I'm talking to, they will have no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

I know some fans are like "Whatever, understanding those terms make me stand out. Yeah, I'm different! Screw the normal world!" But that makes it sound like gatekeeping to a certain degree. It's fine to have that kind of knowledge, but binding it to the very fabric of your identity is not healthy when circumstances change.

Orange seems to want a universal standard for manga translation by incorporating a variety of people into their process, but the fact that people will only be involved AFTER the translation makes me skeptical and the company is being called out for some things on their website. Both professionals and consumers will be screwed here. AI is being pushed so hard by corporations because it can readily applied to real life jobs and regular people in many ways, compared to cryptocurrency/NFTs, which applies only to people with a crap ton of money to spend. I've seen instances of AI usage at the company I work at - some of it good, some of it bad.

But nothing will beat the will and heart of the people. I think that's what scares AI-promoting people. Turning us into total mindless consumers prevents us from being mindful people that want to do right by others. Sure, reading manga makes me happy. But I don't want to be the only one who's happy. I also want people to make informed choices about what to consume.

I also want some people to stop assuming that Japan is the most "anti-woke" country alive out of their rage against localization because it's totally not. Japan has problems and there's people living there speaking out against them. They're "woke" in their own way. I swear that almost everyone who thinks Japan is better than the West hasn't lived there at all and are basing things from a very filtered point of view. I actually feel sorry for them because their lives are just so focused on consuming without thinking for themselves - a perfect market for the AI-pushing crowd.

I'll finish by saying that this AI-powered manga translation venture needs to happen with the right kind of people already on the table through the whole process and where everyone benefits. Everything bad with AI, as far as I've seen, has left people behind with no compassion or empathy. Manga has taught the wonders of compassion and empathy for all and I don't see the Japanese business side of things preaching what their works speak.

How Amazon transformed the EU into a planned economy

Amazon is a perfect parable of enshittification, the process by which platforms first offer subsidies to end users until they’re locked in, then make life good for business customers at users’ expense, until they’re locked in, then claw back all the value they can for themselves, leaving just enough behind to keep the lock-in going.

In a new report for SOMO, Margarida Silva describes how the end-stage enshittification of Amazon is playing out in the EU, with Amazon repeating its US playbook of gouging the small businesses who have no choice but to use the platform in order to reach its locked-in customers, making European customers and European sellers poorer:

https://www.somo.nl/amazons-european-chokehold/

The mechanism for this isn’t a mystery. Amazon boasts about it! They call it their flywheel: first, customers are lured into the platform with low prices, especially through Prime, which requires pre-payment for a year’s shipping, which virtually guarantees that customers will start their shopping on Amazon. Because customers now start their buying on Amazon, sellers have to be there. The increased range of goods for sale on Amazon lures in more buyers, who lure in more sellers, with both sides holding each other hostage:

https://vimeo.com/739486256/00a0a7379a

This flywheel creates a vicious cycle, starving local retail so that customers can’t get what they need from brick-and-mortar shops, which funnels sellers into offering their goods for sale on Amazon. The less choice customers and sellers have about where they shop, the more Amazon can abuse both to pad its own bottom line.

There are 800,000 EU-based sellers on Amazon, and they have seen the junk-fees that Amazon charges them skyrocket, to the point where they have to raise prices or lose money on each sale. Amazon uses both tacit and explicit “Most Favored Nation” deals to hide these price-hikes. Under an MFN deal, sellers must not allow their goods to be sold at a lower price than Amazon’s — so when they raise prices to cover Amazon’s increasing fees, they raise them everywhere:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/

It’s not hard to understand why Amazon would raise its fees: the company has an effective e-commerce monopoly. Like Ozymandias, they have run out of worlds to conquer, and so their growth has to come from squeezing suppliers and/or raising prices, not from bringing in new customers. This is likewise true of mobile companies like Apple and Google, who have run out of people who are so excited about incremental mobile hardware gains that they’ll buy a new phone every year, which means that growth has to come from squeezing app vendors:

https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2023/06/09/Pixel-4-to-7

This is likewise true of the streaming companies, which is why Netflix is cracking down on “password sharing”:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/02/nonbinary-families/#red-envelopes

It’s true of the movie studios, which is why they want to zero out their wage bills by replacing writers with automatic plausible sentence generators that will write stupid movies that they think we’ll still pay to see because there won’t be anything else:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/06/people-are-not-disposable/#union-strong

It’s certainly true of Uber, which is why they’ve double the cost of a taxi ride and halved the wages they pay drivers:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/12/algorithmic-wage-discrimination/#fishers-of-men

Monopolies “grow” by making their customers and suppliers worse off. But they have to be careful about this: if it’s obvious that you’re using your market power to screw buyers, you can get in trouble with competition regulators. That’s because the only part of antitrust law that the neoliberal project left intact is “consumer welfare” — the idea that monopolies should only face enforcement when they raise prices and/or lower quality:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/10/play-fair/#bedoya

This focus on price-hikes has given monopolists a free hand to squeeze suppliers and workers, because a monopolist — from Walmart to Amazon — can claim that squeezing your workers and suppliers is necessary to enhancing consumer welfare. The less you pay to produce a product, the cheaper you can price it.

When a company has a lot of seller power, we call it a monopolist. When it has a lot of buying power, we call it a monopsonist. No one ever made a bestselling, family-destroying board game called “Monopsony” so most people haven’t heard of the concept. But monopsony is every bit as dangerous as monopoly, and monopsonists find it far easier to acquire market power than monopolists. Few suppliers can afford to have even 10% of their sales disappear overnight, so a buyer who accounts for 10% of your sales can demand deep discounts and other favorable terms.

Amazon is a monopolist, but it’s also a very powerful and ruthless monopsonist. For example, its audiobook division, Audible, has a 90+% market-share, and it used that market-power to steal at least $100m from audiobook creators, in a scandal dubbed Audiblegate:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/09/07/audible-exclusive/#audiblegate

For Europe’s 800k sellers who rely on Amazon to reach their customers, the monoposony conditions are blatant and shameless. Take listing fees: Amazon’s “flywheel” pitch claims that as the company grows, it achieves “economies of scale” that can lower its cost basis. But Amazon’s listing fees haven’t changed, even as the company experienced explosive growth in the EU (remember, sellers whose Amazon fees exceed their margins have to pass those fees onto buyers, and also raise their prices everywhere else to satisfy the Most Favored Nation requirement).

Amazon books the revenues from these fees — and other junk-fees it extracts from sellers — in Luxembourg, an EU member nation that provides a tax haven to multinational businesses that want to maintain the fiction that they operate their businesses out of the tiny kingdom. There is sharp competition in the EU to offer the most servile, corrupt environment for multinationals, and Luxembourg is a leader, along with Cyprus, Malta and, of course, Ireland:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/15/finnegans-snooze/#dirty-old-town

But at least listing fees haven’t gone up, unlike other fees, which have climbed sharply. Amazon falsely claimed that its additional revenues from fees were the result of growth by independent sellers, which Amazon pegged at 65%. Later, the company admitted that the true growth figure was 22%. Meanwhile, fees are up 85%.

The true growth figure might be lower still. Amazon refuses to show the math behind its growth figures, or even say which sellers and sales are included in the figure.

The SOMO report cites research by Juozas Kaziukėnas of the e-commerce research firm Marketplace Pulse, who finds that sellers are now giving 50% of their gross revenues to Amazon, an increase of 10% over the past five years across the whole EU. However, different EU (and ex-EU) countries have experienced much steeper increases in fees — in the UK, fees have nearly doubled (up 98%), and in France, fees more than doubled (up 115%).

Many of these increases come from the Fulfilment By Amazon (FBA) program, which is promoted as an optional service, but which is really obligatory — careful research shows that sellers who warehouse, pack and ship their own goods get banished to the depths of search results, even if they have ratings, costs and times that are competitive with FBA. This is especially true of the “buy box” that lands at the top of most searches. The company refuses to disclose how buy box positioning is determined, but 90% of products in the buy box pay for FBA.

Amazon has used excuseflation to hike its FBA prices, blaming higher energy prices for price hikes that predated the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and blaming covid for price hikes that predated the pandemic.

Italy’s competition authority did yeoman service in uncovering the sleaze of FBA, publishing an investigation that showed that Prime and buy box made the notionally “optional” FBA into a must-have for merchants, meaning that Amazon could jack up FBA prices without losing business.

Another notable source of gouging came in response to the UK and France adopting digital services taxes, which were meant to make up for the tax-base erosion enabled by Luxembourg’s flouting of EU tax law. Amazon passed these taxes straight through to its merchants, without seeing a comparable decrease in the number of sellers using its platforms — an unmistakable sign of market power. If you can raise prices without losing customers, then, by definition, your customers have nowhere else to go.

I’ve previously written about how Amazon’s $31b/year “advertising” market isn’t really advertising — rather, it’s a payola scheme that auctions off the top of a search-listing to the merchant with the most to spend:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/28/enshittification/#relentless-payola

This is how you get a simple search like “cat beds” returning results whose first screen is 100% ads, and whose next five screens are 50% ads, many of them for dog products:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/interactive/2022/amazon-shopping-ads/

Auctioning off search results means that every time you search for something you want, you have to wade through screen after screen of listings for products whose vendors spent more on advertising, leaving less to spend on making quality goods.

This is as true in the EU as it is in the USA. The SOMO report shows that European merchants are required to spend ever-larger sums to show up in results for the exact products they sell, leaving them with a choice between making less money, raising prices, or skimping on quality.

But even the “winners” of Amazon’s gladiatorial combat among vendors can still lose. Amazon uses an automated product removal process that can delete some or all of a merchant’s products, without warning or explanation, and no one at Amazon will explain what a merchant did wrong. That remains true even if a vendor pays for Amazon’s “marketplace consultant” service — ask these paid Virgils why you’ve been cast into Amazon’s pit, and they’ll shrug their shoulders (and bill you for it).

And even if you can navigate the junk fees, the Kafka-as-a-service removals, the war of all sellers against all sellers for search primacy…you still lose. Merchants told SOMO that a product that survives Amazon’s gauntlet is likely to be cloned by Amazon and sold as an Amazon Basic or other house-brand product. Amazon doesn’t charge itself 50% junk fees, so it can always underprice the vendors it knocks off, and give its own products permanent top-of-search placement.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos once testified under oath before Congress that this doesn’t happen — and then refused to return to Congress when multiple vendors showed evidence that he’d lied:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2021/10/18/amazon-congress-letter-third-party-data/

He definitely lied:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/amazon-india-rigging/

Amazon has faced investigations and enforcement in the EU over this, and settled a claim with a promise to “not use non-public seller data to compete with sellers,” but given the company’s record of broken promises on this score and the difficulty of catching them cheating, it’s pretty naive to think they’ll stick to this.

The report quotes Thomas Höppner, a lawyer who has represented small businesses that Amazon screwed over. Höppner says the problem is that the EU evaluates Amazon’s bad deeds on a “case-by-case” basis, missing the big picture: “By the time one identified problem was seemingly solved, Amazon had long made amendments elsewhere with the same effect. We require a more holistic approach that considers the entire Amazon ecosystem and the various interdependencies within.”

But the EU’s enforcement approach is about to change significantly. The EU just passed the Digital Markets Act (DMA), which imposes a bunch of obligations on Amazon:

allowing sellers to offer their products on other marketplaces at different prices (Article 5.3),

not obliging business users to pay for one of its services in order to use its platform (Article 5.8),

limiting the way Amazon uses non-public seller data to compete with them (Article 6.2)

preventing Amazon from giving top billing in search results to its own products or sellers that have acquired extra Amazon services (Article 6.5)

The report concludes with a suite of recommendations for improving EU enforcement. First, they argue for a return to traditional competition law, abandoning the “consumer welfare standard” that is so friendly to monopsonies and their abuses of suppliers and workers.

They call for a probe into Amazon’s Most Favored Nation deals (“fair pricing policy”), the practice of sponsoring search results, and spiraling fees. They want the EU to adequately fund DMA enforcement, with “measures to prevent regulatory capture.” And they want Amazon to publish clear explanations for how search results, buy box placement, and other practices hidden behind a veil of secrecy.

Amazon will doubtless claim that disclosing how those systems work will make it easier for spammers and scammers to game their way to the top of search results. We should be skeptical of this claim — content moderation is the last domain where anyone takes the bankrupt idea of security through obscurity seriously:

https://doctorow.medium.com/como-is-infosec-307f87004563

Finally, the report calls for breaking up Amazon, forcing it to choose between being a platform seller or a platform user, calling this the only way to “prevent the conflicts of interest between its role as a platform intermediary, seller, and service provider.”

The technical term for this measure is “structural separation” — a rule that bans platform companies from competing with their business customers. This is the principle at work in the US bipartisan AMERICA Act, which would force Google and Meta to spin off the parts of their ad-tech business that put them in a conflict of interest. Right now, Googbook represents both publishers and advertisers, while operating the marketplace where ad sales take place, and they take 51% out of every ad dollar:

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/save-news-we-must-shatter-ad-tech

Structural separation hasn’t really been applied in the US for a generation, but it’s gained currency in recent years, for the obvious reason that the referee can’t also own one of the teams. I was in Germany last week speaking to regulators and politicians, and they espoused skepticism that the EU would embrace structural separation anytime soon.

But they were wrong! Today, the European Commission announced plans to force Google and Meta to sell off their conflict-of-interest ad-tech lines of business, mirroring the provisions of the US AMERICA Act:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2023/06/google-may-soon-be-ordered-to-break-up-its-lucrative-ad-business-eu-warns/

Structural separation really is the policy we should be demanding. It’s amazing that lawyers who would never argue a case in front of a judge who was married to the plaintiff will turn around and defend the idea that Amazon can fairly operate a marketplace where they compete with other sellers.

With Amazon dominating online sales, and with in-person retail cratering, Amazon’s decisions have the power to determine the outcome of whole swathes of Europe’s economy. This is the “planned economy” that the EU claims it detests and seeks to prevent — but it’s an economy planned by distant autocrats in a Seattle boardroom, for the purpose of extracting the surpluses needed to launch an endless procession of penis-rockets.

[lol-jackles]

I enjoyed the first episode of Season 4 of Walker, it's no peak SPN but it's grown into itself. I'm not an avid watcher but it's easy TV and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

So my question is, what number of viewers need to be on live and +7 for it to stay on air and with what demographic?

The live figures and demographic seemed to be falling, but that is the same for all CW shows.

Are you still expecting an announcement of an extended series announcement?

FYI, there is a picture of Jensen in Vancouver having dinner with some of the cast of Watcher, so the rumour is yet another guest star gig is on the cards...

With over 50% of total (legal) TV viewers in U.S are now online and catch-up services, Live TV viewers are only a small chunk of what advertisers use. Live TV viewings do matter, but the networks also look at how a show does in DVR (up to 35 days post-airing usually) and on streaming. Part of the reason why CW created the CW app was so they could get better user data, and optimize their content based on that (similar to the OG Netflix model), so it would make sense if they put less weight on Live TV viewership, as the OG CW had already done.  If one person watches twice on CW app then they would be counted as two content starts.   And if one person watched the full 40 min duration twice then they would have contributed 80 minutes of viewing to the show.  But if you want to a reach of unique non-duplicated viewers for a certain show, they’d be counted once.   There are a lot of different metrics but multiple viewings factor into plenty of them.  Same for actual true for linear tv - if you watch something on a dvr more than once they are all counted. It’d be cool if these streaming numbers were released, but unfortunately that’s a much less transparent process than Live TV, so non-industry people still base their ratings knowledge off of that.

The Nielsen ratings are still used and still matters and it helps that there’s industry transparency. Linear tv still sells mostly on C3 (commercial viewing live + 3 days). But networks will track digital viewing within the US.  There's a lot of metrics to measure “success” on digital platforms beyond viewership - how many new subscribers it brought in, if they stayed to watch other things, how long they spend on the platform, etc

Of course CW app doesn't have subscribers but downloads. On Valentines Day CW app officially crossed 100 million downloads across all platforms and was #1 in the Apple App Store for 3 consecutive years during fall premieres.

The rule of thumb is if an app has 10 million downloads, on average 30% of downloads are active.  So CW app has 100 million downloads, 30% are active, and a total of 30 million active users.  With ads, it's easy money for the network.

For context.  

Peacock = 31 million subscribers 

Paramount = 37 million subscribers

Max = 98 million subscribers

Disney = 111 million subscribers

Netflix = 260 million subscribers 

Of the Big 5's subscribers, we don't know the percentage of active watchers.  But streaming services actually prefer that you don't watch because that costs bandwidth.  Just like gyms make their money from memberships where most members don't go to the gym regularly.

At this point no, I don't expect series extension announcement. The whole industry is going, as they say in business downsizing, restructuring.

I said in another post, never say never to the idea of Jensen scoring a guest star gig on Tracker.

You and Sraxxze go to the library, the library pretty big but you notice the not so many people there.

“Long time ago, many people used go to here but now. They only use the technical thing most. You know there has Disney +, Hulu and Netflix. And they have book app, so they don’t need come here the library. In your time, did people go the library?” Sraxxze said, “well yeah. People use most technical thing too because they have books on line in the phone, computer and ipad.” You said, “maybe the technical is good thing but it could cause addiction of the technical.

Typing on the Computer to unlock the password. Then they click the website and google is “travel time place”

And pop up the travel time that tell you where the place. “Travel time is really exist?” I asked, I look at the computer screen. “Yes. Why? Did it don’t exist in your time?” They asked, you shake your head “nope. It said it impossible.” I answered, they nodded their heads then turned back to computer screens and click the website and it tell you where. I wonder is travel time is cost money? “Is travel time is cost money if you want go back to time?” I asked, they answered my question, “well yes, it 1 million for one travel time.” He said, “but how we go to the travel time place? Bring 1 million dollars for this?” You asked again, “don’t worried, I know who could let us to enter travel time.” They said, “who it is?” You asked again, “well she is bot and she is work as junior in the travel time, her name is koko.” They said, “so you guys are friends?” I asked, “yes, we used play game Fortnite if koko have free time.”they said. You wonder.. the bot turtle is based on teenager mutant ninja turtles..? “Hey.. I wonder.. the bot turtles that you said I can’t trust them but.. i want ask, do they based on the ninja turtles?” You asked, Sraxxze turns look at me, and their hand lay on their chin and thinks. Silent for few minutes then finally they respond “I think you mean teenage mutant ninja turtles it old cartoons, they stopped making and they being forgotten in the 3000s. I don’t mean offend you if it is your favorite shows or movie. I don’t know why they stop made this. But the bot turtles.. well yes they look like them. Maybe their creator created them as based on of teenager mutant ninja turtles.” They said. You want know who their creator is. “Who is their creator?” You ask. “Well let gimme show you.” They said, turn to the computer screen and click the news on the website and he clicks the link “the mostly famous tech scientist in the world” and you see the picture of creator and his Bot turtles, the creator look like 30 year old and he wear the glasses and his hair color is pretty peach red and he smile. Rest all of bot turtles is silent like not so smile. You noticed it only three bot turtles, you feel something is missed one. Sraxxze respond me, “the creator name is Winslow scarlet but someone called him, Dr.Scarlet. He is tech scientist and he are first successful the robots, travel time, and many things.” They said, “is he evil scientist?” You asked, “what no-“ you interrupted them “then why I should don’t trust bot turtles if their creator is not evil?” You said and crossed my arms and glare at Sraxxze. Sraxxze is sighing and respond to you “well.. you see-“ interrupted by the door open really quickly and loudly. You and Sraxxze turned to front door of the library, it the bot turtle ? It look like short bot turtle and he look like Mikey. “Hello, I am here for Y/N! I heard Y/N is not being here in the time!” Short bot turtle said.

Dear @chronicintrovert,

Hi.

One year ago today, I sat down on a Friday evening to watch this new show on Netflix. I didn't know much about it other than that it was gay (inclusive) and British, either of which is enough to get me to watch something.

I knew it was eight episodes, so I didn't intend to finish the whole thing in one sitting. But I simply couldn't look away. I was stunned by every aspect: The concept, the writing, the acting, the animations, even the blue-yellow color scheme that I catch some new detail of on each rewatch. Before I knew it, it was midnight and I was watching animated waves splash around Charlie Spring and Nick Nelson, confirmed boyfriends.

The next morning, I sat at a traffic light on my way to the grocery store when I realized I was smiling for no discernible reason (it was 8 o’clock… I had no reason to be happy running errands at that hour). It was leftover joy from the previous night. Never before has media so affected me — infected me — as Heartstopper did.

Today, I can happily report Heartstopper had a tangible, deeply positive impact on my life. I devoured your entire back catalog of work, each one as impressive and engrossing and relatable as the last. I continued on, plowing through stacks of queer books (thanks, local library!) with a hunger I haven't felt since I was a teenager. 

You've also brought me my own creative fulfilment. Heartstopper inspired me to write more than I ever had before, and to get to know other wonderful, dedicated, talented Heartstopper writers from around the world. Sorry, it's fanfic, I know there are legal and personal reasons you can never read it. 

Still, please know there's an incredible community of writers and artists churning out world-class fiction that extends the canonical stories of Nick and Charlie or other characters, or imagines them in new settings: Single dad Nick struggling not to fall in love with his housemate; a dating app AU that is a comprehensive study of trauma and healing; 10th century Vikings exploring historical themes of queerness; two patients meeting in a hospital and healing each other emotionally; professional rugby AUs that tap into queer sports issues; fics where Nick and/or Charlie are trans or demi; even one where they're soulmates who turn into cats when the other has naughty thoughts about them. And those are just the tip of the iceberg. 

On a more personal note, Nick and Charlie have enriched my life. My life is way better because I found Heartstopper. I try to keep compassion and empathy at the forefront, just like Charlie. When I'm angry, I think to myself, "What Would Nick Nelson Do?", and that usually involves calming myself and seeking solutions. (I have yet to punch a homophobe, but I'm not opposed.) 

I was also inspired by Nick to come out to my family and friends as aspec. I had long thought it didn't matter much, since I will never bring home a partner, so what was there to tell? But after watching Heartstopper, I desired to live more openly, and now I am.

I know all of this has come at a cost. You've spoken about the intense pressure to deliver season 2 and the ongoing comics. The cast has also faced inappropriate and invasive attention from what I firmly believe is a small minority of Heartstopper fans who clearly missed its message (not that those people should be considered fans at all). I'm not sure what to do about the world other than cherish your art and proclaim its ideals.

Thank you for your vision, your talent, and your years of hard work. Thank you to the cast and crew who brought Heartstopper off the page and onto my screen. I cannot wait (but I will!) to see what you create next.

Love,

A Heartstopper fan xx

Top Web Development Trends to Watch in 2025

Imagine websites as houses. Some houses are simple like a simple cabin with a single room, and others are extravagant mansions that are brimming with technology. The way we design and build the design of these "houses" has changed a significant amount. In 2025, the field of web development will be a major leap forward using new concepts and technology. Let's look at this internet development developments in a step-by-step manner just like we're building the coolest house you've ever seen.

1. Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)

Imagine Progressive Web Apps like hybrid automobiles. They blend the best aspects of two worlds, apps and websites. PWAs are a hybrid of both. PWA appears as an app that you can download to your phone, but it functions as a website. It's not even necessary to go to an App Store to install it!

Why PWAs Are a Big Deal:

Faster loading: They load quickly even when networks are slow.

Offline Mode Web-based applications work with no internet. Think about playing games, or checking your shopping list when the Wi-Fi connection is down.

Saving Space In contrast to traditional applications, PWAs do not occupy lots of space on your device.

Examples: Ever ordered food via Starbucks using their web-based app? That's a PWA! It's like magic and it does this without having to download an application.

More Search Engine Friendly: Artificial Intelligence helps sites comprehend what you are saying regardless of what you type or speak wrongly.

Example: When Netflix suggests films you might like It's AI working!

4. Dark Mode Design

Dark mode is similar to turning off lights and using flashlights. In 2025, more sites will provide dark mode choices because people enjoy it.

Why Dark Mode is Popular:

Simpler to the eyes: Especially in low-light conditions.

saves battery: Dark mode uses less power on devices that have OLED screens.

Contemporary Look This is just cool!

Examples: Platforms like Instagram and YouTube already have dark mode. It's similar to changing to a relaxing evening-time version of your preferred website.

5. No-Code and Low-Code Development

Websites used to be as simple as writing a book. you needed to learn how to write (coding). Nowadays, it's more of creating using LEGO. Low-code and no-code platforms allow people build websites without having to write any code.

Benefits:

Rapider Design: Websites can be developed in days rather than months.

accessible to everyone: Even non-developers can make stunning websites.

Cost-Effective: Less time spent coding means lower costs.

An example: Tools like Wix and WordPress are well-known no-code platforms. It's as if you give everyone a chance to become web developers.

6. Motion UI (User Interface)

Websites are now becoming animated, much like cartoons. Motion UI is fun and interactive animations to can make websites more interesting.

Why Motion UI is Trending:

keeps users interested: Cool animations grab the attention of.

User Guides: For example, the button could wiggle to indicate where you should click.

Enhances storytelling: Animations can tell stories without words.

Examples: Think of a website as a comic book which transforms into a live action movie with animated characters and moving panels.

7. Cybersecurity Enhancements

Imagine locking your home with the safest lock on the planet. In 2025, web designers will concentrate on creating sites that are super secure against hackers.

Key Features:

Better Encryption: Keeps your data private.

Multi-Factor authentication (MFA): Adds additional layers of security for example, requiring a fingerprint or a password.

Artificial Intelligence for Security It detects and stops the possibility of security threats.

Example: Cybersecurity is like having an alarm system or a guard dog to protect your website.

8. Internet of Things (IoT) Integration

IoT refers to connecting devices with the Internet, such as thermostats, smart fridges, and even automobiles. In the year 2025 websites are expected to connect more closely with IoT to give live updates and to control.

How IoT Changes Websites:

Live data Sites are able to display live updates, for example, weather data from a smart sensor.

Remote Control Change the settings of your devices right from a web.

Enhance User Experience: IoT makes websites interactive and modern.

Examples: Imagine a smart gardening site that informs your plants when they need water, based on the data collected by sensors located in your garden.

9. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)

Have you ever tried virtual glasses or explored virtual tours of your house? This is VR and AR working. In 2025, more sites will make use of these technologies to deliver immersive experiences.

Why AR/VR is Exciting:

Test Before You Buy: Virtually try on clothing or put furniture in your space.

Interactive Learning Discover a virtual class or museum online.

Interactive Storytelling Make stories come to life using 3D animations.

Examples: Shopping online could be like walking through an online mall where you can purchase products and check out what they look like.

10. Sustainable Web Development

As the world becomes more focused on sustainability, web sites will be the same. Sustainable web development is the process of designing energy-efficient websites that minimize carbon footprints.

Features of Sustainable Websites:

A lightweight design: Utilizes less resources for loading pages.

Green Hosting hosting websites using servers that are powered by renewable energy.

Minimalist Methodology: Designs that are clear and clutter-free.

Creating central policies for security integration

Helping teams with cloud security training and certifications

3. The rise of Serverless Architecture 

DevOps teams might increase their adoption of serverless architecture to simplify app development and management processes. In traditional setups, businesses managed and maintained their servers. But with serverless, developers can create code using GenAI tools within seconds and their cloud providers will manage all their code deployments.

Some popular services are Google Cloud Functions, AWS Lambda, and Azure Functions have optimized resource allocation and improved cost efficiency. It reduces the complexity of managing infrastructure and allows development teams to deliver features faster, with less overhead.

4. Introduction of MLOps in DevOps

Source

MLOps aims to overcome challenges with ML projects, including building, deploying, and managing ML models in production. MLOps applies the same principles as DevOps to machine learning projects. It helps teams to collaborate, automate workflows, and ensure that models are deployed and maintained efficiently.

MLOps ensures that the model is tested, updated, and deployed to production quickly and reliably. It automates tasks like training the model, testing its accuracy, and rolling out updates without causing disruptions. This allows businesses to continuously improve their ML models and deliver more accurate predictions while maintaining a smooth, automated pipeline. 

5. Automating DevOps Using NoOps and NewOps

This approach minimizes the operational requirements by automating the workflow, without any human intervention to monitor the tasks. NoOps is a way of doing this, where IT tasks are fully automated and the need to manage servers and infrastructure manually is removed.

Source 

In NoOps, things like setting up infrastructure and deploying applications are handled automatically through cloud services, without much human intervention. Big companies like Google, Facebook, and AWS use this approach to scale and run their systems because it’s impossible to manage everything manually at such a large scale. So, NoOps doesn’t mean there are no IT operations, but it’s about doing things automatically rather than manually.

However, NoOps is only relevant for a homogeneous IT environment, with minimal changes at the infrastructure level. Thus, a shift to NewOps is required to address the shifting landscape of modern IT operations, making it suitable to handle heterogeneous IT environment with several change and handoffs.

6. DevEdgeOps Pltaforms

Source 

DevOps for Edge Computing is about applying automation, collaboration, and continuous delivery to manage applications and systems at the edge of the network. In simple words, closer to where the data is generated. In traditional computing, data is processed in large data centers far away. But with edge computing, data is processed locally, allowing for faster decision-making and lower latency.

In DevOps for Edge Computing, teams use automation to deploy, monitor, and update software directly on edge devices, which can be harder to manage than centralized systems. 

As the need for edge computing increases, organizations are looking for solutions that simplify the development and management of applications in edge environments. This has led to the rise of DevEdgeOps platforms, which offer tools and processes specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of building, deploying, and running applications in edge computing setups.

7. Green DevOps for Sustainability 

Green DevOps is all about implementing DevOps practices with a focus on sustainability. It involves designing and implementing a DevOps approach to reduce the environmental impact of the CI/CD pipeline. These continuous processes consume a lot of resources and impact carbon footprint.

Businesses can implement sustainable practices to contribute to sustainable deployments. Brands like Netflix, Google, and Microsoft have adopted Green DevOps operations.

Netflix uses automation and containers to reduce resource use when deploying software.

Google focuses on energy efficiency and sustainability in its data centers. It uses cooling technologies, renewable energy, and efficient hardware to reduce resource consumption.

Microsoft provides tools like Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions to help users build sustainable applications.

Looking Forward

DevOps is expected to grow significantly with upcoming businesses adopting it for better performance. To take advantage of this growth, you need the right tools and strategies.

IPTV requirements

Super Fast Internet Access

Firstly, it is very important for IPTV service providers to deliver a buffer-free experience to their customers on multiple compatible devices. So it is necessary to buy a high-speed internet connection. You need at least 25 Mbps of internet speed.

Since most IPTV services provide full-HD Live Channel streaming, so maintaining an unblemished viewing experience is crucial. In several countries, a fast internet connection has become routine, allowing users to stream videos with ease.

Fancy-schmancy streaming gear

Indeed, without a doubt. It should go without saying! This provides convenience and ease where your users would enjoy accessing your content anywhere over a compatible stream. To this end, an Android-based system is a reasonable starting point, given that it creates an open source ecosystem that facilitates customers obtaining a validated load from their devices.

With Amazon Fire Stick, there are a lot more options for streaming on IPTV devices. The main reason for Firestick’s popularity among the users is its lot of features, easy to use UI and a lot of supporting contents.

Also, well-known streaming services will usually have their own official apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Peacock, Hulu, etc.

For years, multiple Internet streaming services in platforms such as IPTVs and satellite bundles have satisfied people’s entertainment demands.

Selecting IPTV Services: Some Considerations

Look at which things they offer

Prioritize your Choices Selecting an IPTV Provider Keep in mind while a lot of providers will throw you a ton of channels, not all of them are going to give you quality ones.

If you’re looking to get one, see if they offer a sports or kids channel as part of the package.

Stream Signal Strength

The quality of signal networks is one of the most important aspects to look for before selecting the best IPTV provider. When the signal is not strong, issues including white noise and resolution can occur.

If you are, say, watching a game that is based in Canada, then this might not give you the highest quality viewing experience. So, during the trial period, test items.

Take Note of User Reviews

The best way to know whether the USA or another country’s IPTV services are helpful is by reading user evaluations and ratings. Users’ honest feedback at the conclusion of each day will point to several key factors.

They will allow you to take them at their word as they explain to you why you need to choose them over anyone else. Social media platforms should promote it better.

Sites Served

Local platforms that could potentially offer IPTV service! Not every brand may offer premium content in the global market. There’s a growing linked TV preference among most European countries, including Ireland, Spain, Germany, France, Portugal, and Belgium.

It is important to listen to what and where they provide so you can manage their features accordingly and be happy with the ones you purchase. You also want to be able to get to your profile from anywhere.

Choosing the Right Device For Your Plan

The second parameter you will need to consider is device compatibility. Despite most of us being accustomed to watching TV on conventional screens, some people can now choose to watch their favorite movies on smart gadgets that you have probably used before.

Also check how many devices the members in your home can use at the same time, so you can enjoy your use without interruption.

Buffers & Internet Speed

We live in a modern day where gen-Xers are bulletproof. We expect to be able to open our channels in a trillion seconds rather than in minutes!

With advances in internet technology, you may want to use providers that don’t use buffers when placing calls. Platform services, needless to say, will never market themselves as slow-moving. So say the thorough investigation will show.

Beneficial Customer Service

The first is tech support. There is nothing you can do to stop this, hence you must always watch out for it. It is one of the most essential pieces of hardware, so you’re going to need the best video streaming platform to help you feel confident about it.

Moreover, the moment you start dealing with one of these trustworthy companies, see how transparent they are in the communication.

Financial Considerations

The last bottom line to answering which video streaming services are best is, of course, how much they’re going to cost you. Remember that there are a variety of different services available today, and that some may be more costly than others.

The Future of AI App Development: Transforming the Digital Landscape 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept but a present-day reality, revolutionizing various industries with its capabilities. One of the most impactful areas of AI integration is app development. AI app development is increasingly becoming a hot trend in the tech world as businesses seek innovative ways to improve user experience, streamline operations, and offer personalized solutions. From enhancing customer service through chatbots to automating complex processes, AI technology is shaping the way we interact with mobile applications. This blog delves into the future of AI app development, the benefits it offers, and why businesses should consider embracing this cutting-edge technology for their apps. 

Why AI App Development is a Game Changer 

AI is enabling mobile applications to perform tasks that were once unimaginable. From image recognition and natural language processing (NLP) to machine learning and predictive analytics, the capabilities of AI are diverse and impactful. With AI-powered apps, users can experience seamless interactions, whether it's a virtual assistant answering questions, an app predicting shopping preferences, or an app that can recognize spoken commands with high accuracy. 

Incorporating AI into app development allows developers to build apps that not only perform specific tasks but also learn and evolve over time. Through machine learning algorithms, these apps can gather and analyze data, improving functionality with each interaction. This dynamic ability to learn and adapt is what sets AI-driven apps apart from traditional applications. In a world where personalized experiences are highly valued, AI app development offers a significant competitive edge. 

Key Benefits of AI in App Development 

Personalization and Enhanced User Experience 

AI-powered apps can offer personalized experiences by analyzing user behavior, preferences, and patterns. This allows apps to suggest products, services, or content that aligns with individual interests, creating a more engaging and tailored experience. For instance, streaming platforms like Netflix and Spotify use AI to recommend content based on user activity, which keeps users engaged and coming back for more. 

Automation and Efficiency 

AI enables automation of repetitive tasks, reducing human effort and improving operational efficiency. Tasks like data entry, customer support, and inventory management can be automated through AI, allowing businesses to save time and resources. Apps built with AI can assist users with routine actions, such as setting reminders, managing emails, or automating financial transactions, freeing up users' time for more meaningful activities. 

Predictive Analytics 

AI is a powerful tool for predictive analytics, helping businesses anticipate user behavior and trends. By analyzing data patterns, AI apps can forecast outcomes and suggest actions accordingly. This can be particularly useful in eCommerce, where AI can predict the likelihood of a user making a purchase, enabling businesses to offer timely discounts or personalized offers. 

Natural Language Processing (NLP) 

NLP is one of the most exciting applications of AI in mobile app development. It allows apps to understand and interpret human language, making it easier for users to communicate with their devices. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to chatbots that provide 24/7 customer service, NLP-powered AI apps are transforming the way users interact with technology. 

Enhanced Security 

AI-powered security features are becoming increasingly important in the mobile app landscape. With AI algorithms, apps can detect potential threats and vulnerabilities, reducing the risk of data breaches and cyberattacks. Machine learning models can analyze user behavior in real time and flag suspicious activities, enhancing overall security and user trust. 

Understanding Mobile App Cost Calculation 

When embarking on AI app development, understanding the cost is a crucial factor. Several variables influence the development cost of an AI-powered mobile application, such as the complexity of the AI algorithms, the platform (iOS, Android, or cross-platform), and the development timeline. This is where a mobile app cost calculator becomes invaluable. It allows businesses to get an estimated cost for developing their app by inputting details like features, functionalities, and design preferences. 

The mobile app cost calculator takes into account the costs of various stages of development, including planning, design, development, and testing. It also factors in the cost of integrating AI features like machine learning models or NLP capabilities, which can vary based on the complexity and customization required. Having a clear idea of development costs can help businesses plan their budgets more effectively and make informed decisions about their AI app development projects.

“The Cognitive Toll of AI: What’s the True Cost of Smarter Machines?”

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our daily lives. From personalized recommendations on Netflix to virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa, AI has revolutionized how we interact with technology. But beneath the surface of its dazzling capabilities lies a less glamorous truth: the cognitive toll of AI. This refers to the mental and emotional challenges humans face as they adapt to living and working alongside increasingly intelligent machines.

In this blog, we’ll explore the hidden cognitive costs of AI, dissecting its impact on how we think, work, and navigate a world where machines are becoming increasingly “human-like.”

The Cognitive Coast of Convenience

AI thrives on making our lives easier. It automates mundane tasks, predicts our needs, and even makes decisions on our behalf. While this convenience is undeniably valuable, it comes with a catch: mental dependency.

Reduced Mental Effort

AI-powered tools are designed to eliminate repetitive cognitive effort. For example:

Navigation apps like Google Maps save us the trouble of memorizing routes.

Grammar checkers like Grammarly polish our writing, reducing our attention to spelling and structure.

Over time, this reliance can erode our natural cognitive abilities. Research suggests that when we consistently delegate tasks to AI, we may lose the skills needed to perform those tasks manually. The more we use calculators, for instance, the less confident we become in solving basic arithmetic problems.

Decision Fatigue and Overwhelm

Paradoxically, AI’s abundance of options can be overwhelming. Recommendation systems on platforms like Amazon or Spotify inundate us with choices. Psychologists have found that too many choices can lead to decision fatigue, a phenomenon where the brain becomes exhausted from constant decision-making. This subtle strain on mental bandwidth affects our productivity, focus, and emotional well-being.

Impact on Emotional Intelligence and Social Skills

AI-powered communication tools have transformed how we interact, but they’ve also raised concerns about diminishing empathy and social intelligence.

AI as a Social Buffer

Virtual assistants, chatbots, and automated customer service systems minimize human-to-human interaction. While this is convenient, it also reduces opportunities to practice social and emotional skills. As a result, younger generations who grow up with AI-mediated interactions may struggle with face-to-face communication and empathy.

Blurred Boundaries Between Humans and Machines

Sophisticated AI like ChatGPT or humanoid robots blurs the lines between technology and humanity. People often anthropomorphize AI, attributing human emotions and intentions to machines. While this can enhance usability, it may lead to unrealistic expectations and frustration when AI fails to meet them.

Cognitive Bias Amplification

AI systems, while advanced, inherit and sometimes amplify human cognitive biases. This has far-reaching implications, especially in sensitive areas like hiring, policing, or medical diagnoses.

The Feedback Loop of Bias

AI algorithms learn from historical data, which may contain biases. For example, a hiring algorithm trained on data where men dominated leadership roles might favor male candidates. When these biases go unchecked, they create a feedback loop that reinforces societal inequalities.

Mental Load of Identifying Bias

For those who use AI in decision-making, identifying and mitigating algorithmic bias adds a new layer of cognitive complexity. Professionals must not only perform their roles but also critically evaluate AI outputs for fairness and accuracy — a skill not everyone has been trained to develop.

AI and Job-Related Stress

One of the most profound cognitive costs of AI is its impact on the workplace. While automation increases efficiency, it also introduces new stressors:

Job Insecurity

AI’s ability to automate tasks raises concerns about job displacement. Workers in industries like manufacturing, customer service, and even creative fields face the anxiety of being replaced by machines. This uncertainty affects mental health, contributing to stress, burnout, and decreased job satisfaction.

The Skill Gap Dilemma

As AI tools become more specialized, employees must continually upskill to remain relevant. The pressure to learn complex technologies can be daunting, especially for older workers or those in traditionally low-tech roles. This cognitive burden — learning new skills while maintaining productivity — can lead to mental exhaustion.

The Cognitive Challenges of Ethical AI Use

As AI grows more powerful, so do the ethical dilemmas surrounding its use. The responsibility to use AI responsibly isn’t just a technical challenge — it’s a cognitive one.

Moral Decision Fatigue

Imagine a doctor using AI to assist with diagnoses. While the AI provides recommendations, the final decision lies with the doctor. Balancing AI’s input with personal judgment can create moral decision fatigue, where the individual feels overwhelmed by the weight of making the “right” choice.

AI as a Moral Compass

AI’s ability to simulate human-like behavior also raises ethical questions. For instance, should AI be programmed to make moral decisions? If so, whose morals should it follow? Grappling with these questions demands significant cognitive and emotional effort from policymakers, developers, and end-users alike.

How to Mitigate the Cognitive Toll of AI

While AI is here to stay, there are strategies to reduce its cognitive impact:

1. Developing Digital Literacy

Understanding how AI works can help demystify its processes and reduce cognitive overload. Educating users about AI’s strengths and limitations empowers them to use it wisely.

2. Promoting Balance

Encouraging people to rely on their own skills alongside AI can preserve cognitive abilities. For example, using mental math occasionally instead of always relying on a calculator.

3. Human-Centric AI Design

Developers can design AI systems that prioritize user well-being. Features like transparent algorithms, simplified interfaces, and ethical safeguards can reduce cognitive strain.

4. Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace

Organizations can address AI-induced stress by offering mental health resources, upskilling programs, and clear communication about job security.

5. Fostering Empathy in the AI Era

Encouraging human-to-human connections in a tech-driven world helps counteract the loss of social and emotional intelligence.

Conclusion

AI is undeniably a transformative force, reshaping industries and redefining human potential. However, its rise also comes with a price: the cognitive toll it imposes on our minds, emotions, and societal structures. By acknowledging these challenges and actively working to address them, we can strike a balance where AI enhances our lives without diminishing our humanity.

As we move forward, let’s not just ask, “What can AI do for us?” but also, “What does AI cost us?”
