They've invested way too much in this dumbass "technology." They can't be deterred by minor inconveniences like nobody wanting it.

Bro, give him a break, he didn't think that far ahead yet. He's already created $100 trillion in value by adding the term AI into that sentence.

Microsoft's CEO reveals that AI writes up to 30% of its code — some projects may have all of its code written by AI

Chris I saw someone this very morning say “we don’t need NOAA, there’s weather apps on my phone”

I am so tired.
How many times do you look at the temperature on your phone?

Most of those temperatures are from weather stations NOAA/NWS helps maintain…or they are a model interpolation from a model NOAA/NWS helped develop.

The radar data, satellite data, every single watch and warning…that’s NOAA/NWS.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

I guess that is a way to make a company profitable. Outsource all your data and software engineers.

1. Create Bluesky bots to ping and repost information from government accounts.
2. Aggregate those bots into a starter pack.
3. Create a more useful collection of government information without rewarding Musk.
There it is. NTSB only sending info out via X now. Expect the same from CDC FDA etc. soon.
