I am begging every software developer to please, for the love of God, PLEASE stop putting AI in everything.
I do not want your craptastic bloat. If you must put it in, let me remove it fully instead of having to refuse it every time I use your thing.
I don't want AI anywhere. Leave me alone.

most cutting thing you can say is "who's this clown?" because it implies they're a) a clown & b) not even one of the better-known clowns

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

It's harder to get funding for basic research projects than ever before in Australia.
The @arc_gov_au Discovery Projects scheme now has the lowest “success rate” ever: 16.3%.
Only 1 in 6 grants are funded.
Why? The funding available has plummeted.
Please help, Jason Clare MP❗️
