True story. Email is one of the last things I’d try to host myself.

I feel like people would appreciate and buy into a product that just works.

The general public are no longer the market, but rather the product. Most of us have been demoted from customer to cattle. They don’t care what we want. We’re here to generate data for them to sell.

Yes. Between actual Nazis, competitively woke keyboard revolutionaries who appointed themselves Captain of the 101st Lecturing division, and enshittification everywhere in between, I’m about done with the Internet.

I showed my wife this meme and her response was: “Crowns? That’s a Danish. You deserve wasps.”

Come on, Denmark.

AI: Actually Indians Filipinos

I’m lucky enough to have a yard, so years ago I planted a dwarf spruce to be our living Christmas tree. We string it up with solar lights for the holidays.

But seriously, how many are there left now? Eight?

Remember when Microsoft announced Recall and everyone uniformly hated the idea and Microsoft backtracked it for a few months before quietly rolling it out again? I’ll be blunt: if you believe Microsoft when they say that a “feature” everyone hates will be “optional”, you’re a fool.

Yeah, I dunno about that. “Anti-hero” is a pretty big trope, not at all limited to mentally ill characters.

So same template but for dystopian surveillance and blaming immigrants for everything

You can get good sears on nonstick. We’ve done it for years.

Nonstick is easier to use and clean, but you’ll have to buy a new one every year or two, depending on how hard you are on them. Cast iron is practically indestructible in that you can almost always bring it back to usable condition; but keeping it usable takes more care. There’s also carbon steel if cast iron is too heavy for you.

I’m guessing they mean they’re tired of dealing with mushroom poisoning cases. “High risk” according to the article means wet weather and more death caps for laypeople to find and eat.

Fifth grade me would have laughed at this for days and days. Reminds me of “the pirate”

I get handwritten religious solicitations like that about once a year. I opened one once out of curiosity.

Manufacturing is one of America’s hottest growing professions

Dunno what universe Fortune is talking about, but in this one, manufacturing is shedding jobs like almost every other sector in the US.

The "nobody: " meme format was always nonsensical and pointless and needs to be forgotten.

AI cannot do your job as well as you can, but a salesman can convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI, because it’ll make your boss money

Agreed, exactly. In the short term, at least. The LLM industry is the world’s biggest ponzi scheme right now though. If they had to start charging people enough to float themselves without borrowing from investors, the whole thing would collapse overnight because no one would pay for it. The endgame is not a profitable product to bring to market, because that’s not possible with this technology.

What is your view on why billionaires are pushing AI?

They’re trying to race as fast as possible to the closest they can get to AGI (a delusion) for their own use before climate change starts killing off billions of people in the near future. They know that humanity is near-term fucked, and they’re feathering their nests and ripping the copper out of the walls at our expense. Some of them, like Musk and Yavin, are deluded though to think they can actually rule over a scaled-down human population (only the ones they can’t replace with AI) in a dystopian techno-feudal system. Either way, we’re expendable assets to be shoveled into their furnace.
