### AI overview

A personal reflection on how AI and addictive technology may weaken human empathy, relationships, and appreciation of in-person connection. The author argues that AI may eventually automate software engineering once code correctness can be ensured reliably at scale, but is more concerned about loneliness, isolation, and self-absorbed social behavior.

### Source excerpt

My reflection on societal isolation amplified by technology and COVID-19, and what to do to foster genuine relationships, critical thinking, and self-awareness to combat loneliness. The post What I worry about with AI first appeared on Code Capsule.

### AI overview

The article argues that infinite scroll prioritized addictive engagement and advertising over usability, accessibility of stopping cues, and front-end integrity. It discusses legal scrutiny of Meta's Instagram and Facebook feeds, performance and state-management problems, and calls on web professionals to abandon the pattern.

### Source excerpt

The infinite scroll was never a UX feature--it was a slot machine disguised as code. Now, as Meta faces a historic trial over algorithmic addiction, web designers must finally confront the ugly truth: we sacrificed basic usability and human willpower just to keep users trapped in a bottomless pit.
