How about I choose how I spend my energy, and you optimize your own according to your standards? We don't all have to give a response optimized to be "best".

I think the idea that the only acceptable responses to any given query are helpful ones is absolutely toxic positivity. Not all queries merit helpful responses. Do unhelpful responses sometimes get leveraged against people genuinely just as

Or perhaps I can make the choice of when I choose to be helpful in a cheerful way, and when I give a passive-aggressive response. This toxic positivity trend disguising itself as genuine kindness is leading to the HR-ification of everyday l

Waymo cars are new. Wait until their fleets are 10+ years old. They'll have all the same bad maintenance issues that airplanes, semis, rental cars, and any other company-owned vehicles have.

AI doesn't replace programmers, it's used by programmers for efficiency. Waymo is most definitely not being used by taxi or rideshare drivers to be more efficient.

I was 100% on your side until you list FromSoftware games. As good as they are, they're a single-genre game developer that has a very narrow design and audience. There's nothing more substantive or enduring about their games intri

You don't think that the digital ID provider is keeping logs of which sites requested to verify which users? Even government websites are not exactly known for their high security.
