It’s incredible how folks have gotten addicted to small convenience. They get visibly angry if they have to create, explore, or experience anything that an app claims to do for them, even for a fee.

Qobuz will transfer all of their playlists for free in just 2 clicks, it’s part of their onboarding. And their music will suddenly be higher quality to boot, and the artists actually get paid for streams. Just letting you know your options.
Especially in tech. It’s not a coal mine, tech companies don’t prosper on their own.
I’m surprised Google hasn’t just turned reading the news online into a tiktok like feed experience where no one ever goes to the full article on a news site.
Particularly that they’ve made their way into a general media article and title without any effort to define them, as if they are now a common part of the average persons lexicon, and not just cringy internet slang.
“thirst traps” “simps”? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
It hasn’t felt t like there’s been much significant performance increases or development in RAM in the last.. decade? Definitely not following moores law (if that even applies here). So if youve spent your time price fixing for the western market instead of developing technology to keep you ahead, then second rate competitors will eventually catch up and cut a huge portion of your market share, and enjoy those inflated prices instead of you. This of course is my very uninformed take, and probably completely inaccurate.
If the rogue officers aren’t immediately in jail, then they aren’t rogue are they?
Your last paragraph is a major point that I think a lot of people don’t think about, and I’m surprised Reddits executive team didn’t bail as soon as the AI was finishing the scrapes.
At this point it isn’t AI slop, it’s got to be major Fraud by PWC. They were paid for in depth meticulous analyses, and instead, they just asked their drunk uncle AI, who claims to know everything, but really just has the knack to BS a halfway believeable answer.
Meanwhile, Sinclair local stations happy they will get to finally wear MAGA lapel pins on air now
So the new drug and cancer vaccine clinical trials at the not for profit major cancer centers will be cancelled, and instead YouTube influencers claiming ivermectin cures all cancer will get their funding. Oh wait - physical science, so more money to oil and gas executives and tech bros?
So if one tech company has stolen and addicted all of your real friends, there is another tech company ready to step in and take advantage of your feelings on loneliness for profit? Stanford MBAs sinking to new lows for human scum to profit from human suffering.
What the hell happened to eBay? As an internet startup they were pretty committed to doing the right thing even if it cost more. I get that was the silicon valley of the 90s, and probably before corporate pressure to maximize profits and share prices.
Makes sense, but didn’t DOGE steal/transfer social security admin and other US government databases on every American for their AI training. Maybe that access was their implied/wink wink advantage over others?
Just a note: the same people who predicted this would happen are the same predicting the AI bubble bursting.
How much compensation did musk demand last year as his value for running the company?
The cynical part of me thinks that there is a different reason for implementing this, and that any bot that drives engagement is valuable to the platform owners.
Oh! It wasn’t meant as a criticism, just wanted to add my experience, how it was possible and positive.
In this world where we feel small and powerless, it’s been a way to feel we made some kind of punch back at evil.
I’ve spent the last 2 years ditching services or products from companies that directly fund suffering. And I thought it was going to be overwhelming… But it wasn’t! Ditching Amazon ended up saving my family more than 100 dollars a month if we get things directly from the manufacturer. Plus the quality of items we get is better than cheap Amazon crap. The grocery store takes an extra 5 minutes to look on the back of a package for good or bad parent companies. I know it’s not perfect by far. But I’m not giving up being a better instead.
