I think it's time we declared tech bankruptcy, and start again without the billionaires.

“Why are Europeans and Canadians so mean?”

Because our country threatened a war of aggression.

“Why aren’t Americans doing anything?”

1500 US Army arctic warfare specialists are literally incapable of deploying to Greenland due to domestic protests over dissidents being publicly murdered.

Kind of wild how accurately Douglas Adams predicted the exact brand of torment nexus we'd wind up with.

He missed on the shoe store collapse though. It's more of a men's barber collapse as far as I can tell, there's so many of them here!

There used to be ashtrays built into the arm rests of airplane seats! On Airplanes!

That’s a sales pitch that hasn’t been true for a good couple of months at least. They’ve been smearing that stuff in in all sorts of ways from sidebars, context menus, a tiny LLM to try to categorize tabs, etc. Every single damn one has a new off switch somewhere different.

I wonder whether Ubisoft have tossed that blockchain executive yet.

I’m not sure “the rest of the world” loathes it per se, I run into relative normies even in tech circles who haven’t ever heard of or considered any possibility of negative consequences or externalities for LLM usage. They *do* know that it’s showing up in their performance reviews though.

I prefer an updated one for these modern horrors.

I did the same and then work had the IT admin flip the switch that forced it to be turned on. It’s so useless and intrusive.
