Whoooaaahh, I’m just not ready for that kind of commitment!

The point is that there are tons of consumer products being made annoying so we can all feel like we’re doing our part. Meanwhile, the people generating the most pollution continue to do so.

Sure, it was compressed air. But the power required to compress the ~3 seconds of air thrusters could have driven an electric car for over a hundred miles.

I worked at IBM.

The people that run that place are the biggest corporate brain-rot dumbasses in the world. The only way to climb into their ranks is to be enough of a waste of oxygen that you aren’t threatening.

I was doing a chemistry project. One aspiring corporate idiot couldn’t believe why my group didn’t want to “incorporate blockchain” into our project. He’s a VP now.

If they ever do anything right, it’s only because they’ve run out of dumb shit things to do first. I assume those poor young people they’ll be hiring will be laid off at the first whiff of the next corporate fad.

One side aligns with my views 70% of the time. The other actively wants me and everyone like me to die. I refuse to acknowledge the differences between them. I’ll actually deploy this lack of understanding as a weapon to depress voter turnout and make sure the second group gets to wield power!

Just… four quotes deep with zero added information every time. Is this what people enjoy? Someone reporting something, and then three influencers quote-posting saying “this.” or the equivalent? What garbage.

The Underground Railroad was also illegal. But we obviously celebrate it today.

People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.

More, please!

Now, hear me out: what if the rubber duck burned tons of energy, poisoned the water and air, caused a global shortage of computer parts, was built with material without the permission of creators, made it easy to make nonconsensual sexual images of people, and lied to you?

They went on, however, to question the ethics and judgment of the potentially destructive payload.

Goodness me, the brain-rotted slop fans suddenly care about ethics?

Less expensive: yep

Actually fun colors: yep

Windows is worse than ever: yep

It would have been surprising if this thing wasn’t a hit.

Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)

You sound like the brainwashed masses. He, a billionaire, was much more qualified to determine if someone is fit to practice medicine than some institutional board. Obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t have been a billionaire.

Gee golly, I’m so glad my eyes didn’t have to see the f word, my goodness, that would have been disastrous

The announcement suggests the developer wrote all the code, but used the slop robot to generate assets. Sounds like the issue is that making art assets actually takes skill, and is something most programmer types underestimate.

New goal: nine fives of uptime

I read and enjoyed the book, but the movie improved on some story beats and trimmed some sciencey stuff that wouldn’t have translated well to the screen. Pretty great adaptation.

If you’re considering watching it, do try to avoid the trailers for it. I understand that you have to market the story, but introducing things in ads that should have been delightful surprises kinda stinks.

It’s called the bible, not the straightble

The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.

Hi, I’m Dave American, and I’m running for President.

Tankies are so weird. I’m sure some of them are true believers, but I get the feeling most of them just want to watch the western world burn and kinda don’t care how it happens.

Well, and then there’s the fact that posts like this always get swarmed by users from .ml and other similar instances (around the time that the eastern hemisphere wakes up) with the message “both sides bad”
