问HN：有没有人觉得自己最近在选择退出科技行业？
我真的很想了解我是否会改变现在的看法。在2019/2020年之前，我非常喜欢科技、电子产品，并且跟上潮流。<p>在过去的5到6年里，我逐渐对科技采取了一种选择退出的态度。<p>我已经不再关心这些了，我觉得这并不是因为我变老了……我是在20多岁中后期才接触科技的，所以我并不是像你们大多数人那样从小就对这些东西感兴趣的“天生极客”。<p>随着产品和服务的质量下降速度加快，我使用的大多数产品和服务都存在许多问题，需要寻找解决方法、黑客手段，或者只是忍受糟糕的用户体验。<p>那时我曾花费数万美元购买最新的科技产品，包括软件和硬件。<p>如今，我只使用从Verizon获得的免费智能手机，通常用2到3年。当我查看旧照片时，真的分不清是iPhone 7拍的还是iPhone 15（我甚至不知道具体型号）。<p>我以950美元买了一台二手的M1 Max，现在仍在使用，我觉得这台机器还能再用3到5年。我还在使用我的高性能游戏/工作站，配备5950x和128GB内存。以前我会花5000美元买一台新Mac。<p>我曾经拥有特斯拉和其他酷车，现在我把它们都卖掉了，只是走路。我买了更好的鞋子。<p>我之前的家里充满了智能家居科技和其他东西，现在我住在一栋完全模拟的老房子里，这感觉很好（而且小得多！）。<p>我现在唯一的订阅是Prime和YouTube。<p>我在人工智能方面尝试过很多，花费超过10亿个代币构建了许多有趣的东西，但说实话，我现在觉得我已经了解了它的局限性和优点。我不再觉得它那么有趣，因为在图像生成（这是我真正想要的，无论迭代次数和花费时间多少）、可靠地整理笔记等方面，它表现得很糟糕。作为代码助手它表现不错，但当它不工作时又显得无聊。<p>那么接下来该怎么办？或者我是否就这样完全选择退出，像我已经开始的那样？

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?
