Have you ever let a smart and nice robot but also extremely drunk into your house ?

Despite amazing conversations, you wonder when it will break your grandma porcelain, or piss on the wall on its way to the toilet.

That’s what coding assistant feels like in your repo.

I came to the conclusion that empathy is the legacy technology for human connection but also the biggest competitor to AI and social media platforms.

The Incredibles was a better superhero family movie than Fantastic Four (2025). It successfully put the ‘family’ in the ‘super’ without force-feeding it to the audience.

Worse, they feed each other.
It's hard to recall a technology that has been shoehorned into every enterprise product as consistently and with as many dark patterns as "AI".

The appification of everything (which operates as a means to hoover up behavioral data) is maybe the closest I can think in recent memory.
Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

AI predates the internet.

Maybe the next movie in the Terminator franchise will be “Terminator: Trade War,” in which Skynet realizes that it doesn’t have to destroy humanity with nuclear bombs, it can accomplish its goals simply by giving bad economic advice.
