Why is 2024 Google so widely despised that there's such an appetite for seeing it humiliated?

As an aside, I'm surprised at how rude some people's prompts are. Lecturing the machine, talking down to it etc. The bot is a bewildered dog. It wants to help you but it is confused. You won't help it by yelling at it.

I still see people wearing N95 masks. Bizarre. Often progressive-looking people in their mid 20's and 30's.

I don't understand people who simultaneously predict "Industrial Revolution" changes in tech and "business as usual" in the economy. Ok, we have robots that can do anything. And they're going to be controlled b

It's interesting how masculine the environment is. An environment that's ostensibly about one man and one woman is actually just the typical "coalitional violence" that men are so good at. Men working on teams to compete
