Ticktock, I'm not kidding, the first page I land is 404.
myspace still exists??

Guess these companies don't look after their websites as much as they look after their apps. Or, dare I try the apps and find them in just as bad a state?

So far #bluesky has had no bugs and does what it's supposed to.

But I suppose that's the problem with a protest vote, no one really cares who they vote for —just as long as it isn't the current lot. However, I'm sure anyone spending a moment thinking about that will realise, that is the dumbest reason to vote for anyone, ever.

Guess we'll see what happens next.

And that's completely ignoring his relationships with the utterly dangerous & bonkers elements of America. Can you imagine, with US controlled by trump, and UK controlled by farage? We might as well give up trying to pretend that the human race had some level of intelligence. The ghost would be up..

Anyone wanting him to represent them has clearly never seen his embarrassing behaviour in the European Parliament, his low attendance record, his Russian State media appearances and pro Putin stances. That's not to mention all the investigations around what happens with his funding and use of money.

Remember, there are no shortcuts without caveats. And the "bubble world of artificial intelligence" is very much ignoring these downsides. Some on purpose, some without meaning.

But the outcome is the same...

My prediction:

A storm of broken things is coming, and no one on the front line to help.

A negative precedent and has already led to many people I know in situations where bosses demand AI is used because it is the 'Deus ex machina'. Or worse, firing people because they believe they only need a skeleton crew and AI agents. They believe what they've read over their employee's experience.

I know the genie cannot go back in the bottle. But people promoting AI as the solution to everything need to balance it with reality. It does speed some things up, but it actually slows others down. Whilst they may know this, CEOs & non-technical people now think anything is possible & at fast pace.

Got nothing against anyone being creative & trying to build new things. I'd love the world to be more like that. But it needs to be done with effort. With people actually investigating how to do things safely. Otherwise they'll be setting themselves up for failure, or risking customer's data/money..

#AI, when used by those without knowledge, is an automated Dunning-Kruger effect. These people have no idea on how to keep data/people safe, how to avoid hacks, how to cobble together apps. And now, it will be harder to tell "bad apps" from looks alone. Professional-looking apps will be dangerous...
