That, my friends, is how to write brilliantly. Zachary Lipez, take a bow! 🙌🏻👏🏻

"Teenagers – a recently invented term for a class that had previously been a source of cheap farm labour, whose numbers were determined by luck, vermin, and a Papal workaround known as the rhythm method – were, all of a sudden, the judge, jury, and executioners of culture."

"Once upon a time, during what was not so much a “golden age” as an ejaculatory age of denim and leather (and occasionally lace), there was no higher human aspiration than to “rock”."

Do, it's a gem!

I'd imagine at some point that all has to break though. The money isn't endless - especially now that the world economy is getting hauled over the coals. Something will give there.

Yeah, and that's the real issue for me. It's doing good things! But it's been sold as some kind of all-pervading thing that should be in every corner of our lives, and that's just nonsense. It reveals the trenchant greed of Big Tech.

Fair enough

Yep, but I don't see them as wholly negative either. Hence my point in my piece really; they do a load of harm, but they also do have some positive uses. Much like computers. I don't really buy into that view that they're unilaterally bad. They're just being wildly overstated and forced on us all.

I feel like there's a bunch of leaps there but I get what you're saying. I mean, if you post AI shite day in day out for clout on here then... you're wasting a lot of good life 😆 But I don't think it's as b&w as "using AI is bad". But I don't think that's what you're saying?

What's the "agree to disagree" on that? I wouldn't disagree with that at all, LOL

There needs to be some kind of "saw them at the Underworld in '92 and they were just OK" bot to respond to posts like this.
