Maybe I failed to articulate that well. My point was more along the lines of "we're about to ruin a high-quality resource (the Internet) that we carefully built over decades". I think your response is valid -- we'll do w

Wow, that "Dead Internet Theory" keeps getting more and more Real with each passing day. I sometimes think of this as a "slo-mo train wreck" version of the burning of the Library of Alexandria.

I'm reminded of Satya's glee in 2003, at having rolled out this AI integration across-the-board, before Google (which then scrambled to get in the game): "And I want people to know that we made them dance, and I think that&#x

The fact that we didn't jail/banish him after leading an insurrection against the US Capitol was the "too far gone" moment. Anything after that, is just Yet Another millimeter along the same trajectory: Well, if we let h

I have always supported Adafruit -- Limor's principles shine through in the products, the website, the tutorials, and in the long-term track record of standing by their products. Even when I can source things from AliExpress, I often

I think you have a point. I often think of Tony Hsieh (Zappos founder/CEO), who was a much more grounded and humble person before he became extremely wealthy. Perhaps he had the tendencies/propensities (that ended his life) dorman
