Imagine if the requirements were instead "You need to have a phone with an OS controlled by Huawei"... do you see the issue there? Maybe 99% of people have surrendered to Google/Apple (include me there), but the 1% has a vali

It's passing the buck, isn't it, if I ask AI and AI tells me something dumb, I can blame AI and absolve myself of responsibility. At the same time, the troubling allure is that the machine has ingested a million books and has bett

Man, in some ways this is a future Star Trek envisioned: a display showing you a planet's orbital hardware and its launch sites... But the sad reality many of the hardware is Elon Musk's ejaculation stains, polluting the skies.

Just redirect the solar power to cool the water going out of the nuclear powerplant. "Just". My 4th grade physics knowledge is telling me this doesn't work, because the heat energy from the water still has to go somewhere...

Why "slop-sounding"? It's definitely LLM slop. Man, why the fuck don't they just make a powerpoint with bullet points if all the sentences are like that.

I wish there was more police presence to spot lane-camping and fine them in Germany, too many idiots do it and get away with it. If I ran Google Maps, I'd ask to route stupid drivers away from my routes. The GPS and phone accelerometer

There must be a term for entrapping people in their ecosystem and then delivering a shittier and shittier product... Doing an Adobe? Something like Toxic Partner Syndrome, or "John Goodman in 10 Cloverfield Lane behavior".
