As a site for people curious about technology, where is the sense of adventure?

People are inventing the future of human/ai interaction themselves because big tech could not do it within their own constraints.

Don't get me wrong, those constraints are there for a reason, but the hacker mentality seems muted lately.

Hacker mentality means doing something new and clever, not reinventing IFTTT and related clones.

Typically, the hacker mentality wasn't leaning towards "the most unsafe and unsecure thing in the entire history of humanity ever" which in the end "does an incredibly inept job because it just goes off the rails randomly and destroys your life"

And all cause lazy.

Instead, that's more like what addled octgenarians do. Get tricked by Nigerian scam artists into installing some p0wnage.
