Ask HN: 有人感觉最近正在远离科技圈吗？
8 分•作者: moomoo11•7 天前
我很想知道，我现在的看法是否会改变。直到 2019/2020 年，我还是个十足的科技迷，热衷于各种小玩意，紧跟潮流。
但在过去的 5-6 年里，我几乎对科技采取了“退出”的态度。
我就是提不起兴趣了，而且我不认为这是因为我老了…… 我在 20 多岁中期/后期才开始接触科技，不像你们大多数人那样从小就摆弄这些东西，天生就是个“极客”。
产品/服务的“垃圾化”速度越来越快，我使用的大多数产品/服务都存在很多问题，需要变通方法、黑科技，或者只能忍受糟糕的用户体验。
以前我会在科技上花掉数万美元，比如最新的软件和硬件。
现在，我只用 Verizon 免费提供的智能手机，用个 2-3 年。当我翻看旧照片时，我真的分不清我的 iPhone 7 和 iPhone 15（或者是什么型号，我都不记得了）拍的照片有什么区别。
我买了一台二手的 M1 Max，花了 950 美元，现在还在用，我觉得还能用 3-5 年。我仍然在使用我的高性能游戏/工作站，配备 5950x 处理器和 128GB 内存。以前我买个新 Mac 就要花 5000 美元……
我以前有特斯拉和很酷的车，现在都卖了，就走路。我买了更好的鞋子。
我以前的家充满了智能家居技术和其他东西，现在我住在一个完全模拟的旧房子里，感觉不错（而且小很多！）。
我现在唯一的订阅就是 Prime 和 YouTube。
我用掉了 10 亿以上的 token 来捣鼓 AI，构建了大量很酷的东西，但说实话，我觉得我现在知道了它的局限性和好处。我不再觉得它那么有趣了，因为它在图像生成方面做得太烂了（这正是我真正想要的，不管迭代次数和花费的时间），在可靠地整理笔记等方面也差强人意。它作为代码奴隶很棒，但当它不起作用时，又会变得很无聊……
那么接下来呢？或者我会在某个时候像现在这样完全退出吗？

I would love to really understand if I will ever change my outlook now. Until 2019/2020 I was super into tech, gadgets, and keeping up with trends.<p>At some point in the last 5-6 years, I have pretty much adopted an opt-out view on tech.<p>I just don't care anymore, and I don't think it is because I got older... I got into tech in my mid/late 20s so I wasn't a born nerd like most of you guys tinkering with stuff since childhood.<p>The rate as products/services enshittify has intensified, and most products/services I use have so many issues that require workarounds, hacks, or just dealing with terrible UX.<p>I used to spend 10s of thousands of dollars on tech back then, like the latest stuff both software and hardware.<p>These days, I just use whatever free smartphone I get from Verizon for 2-3 years. When I look at old photos I can't really tell the difference between photos from my iPhone 7 and my iPhone 15 or whatever (I don't even know the model).<p>I bought a used M1 Max for $950 and I'm still using that, and I feel like this will work for me for another 3-5 years. I still use my beefy gaming/workstation with a 5950x and 128gb ram. I used to drop like $5k on a new mac..<p>I used to have Teslas and cool cars, I sold them all and just walk. I bought better shoes instead.<p>My last home was filled with smart home tech and other stuff, now I live in a completely analog old home which is nice (and much smaller!).<p>The only subscriptions I have now are Prime and Youtube.<p>I've tinkered enough with AI with 1b plus tokens spent to build loads of cool stuff, but if I'm being totally honest I feel like I now know its limitations and benefits. I don't really find it that interesting anymore because it sucks ass at image generation (what I actually want, regardless of # of iterations and time spent), reliably organizing notes, and stuff like that. It is great as a code slave but that is again boring when it doesn't work..<p>So what's next? Or do I just opt-out completely at some point like I've already started?
