I think the common denominator for all these things are people. People are pretty terrible in large numbers behind anonymity.

With how wearily often this seems to happen nowadays, I feel like if I was working somewhere like this I’d be looking at new work immediately as soon as I knew it was getting taken over.
Ideally, there should be some kind of way to prevent this happening in the first place.
But it’s easy for me to say this kind of thing from my pedestal. The only opinions that matter are from those who are involved. There’s nothing more depressing and scary than to know you could be jobless at a moment’s notice.
Summer was hard on me in my teenage goth years.
Can’t really get many light shades of black.
Again remember that freedom of expression is freedom to not be punished by the government for that expression.
Private companies are not concerned with your freedoms.
Not saying I agree with how things are, just saying how it is. Only way to tell a private company to fuck off is to not use them.
Doesn’t need to be “intelligent”, it needs to be fit for purpose, and it clearly is.
The closest comparison you made was to the cyoa book, but that’s only for the part where it gives me options. It has to have the “intelligence” to decipher what I’m asking it and then give me the options.
The fact it can do that faster and more efficiently than a human is exactly what I’d expect from it. Things don’t have to be groundbreaking to be useful.
To be fair, it is useful in some regards.
I’m not a huge fan of Amazon, but last time I had an issue with a parcel it was sorted out insanely fast by the AI assistant on the website.
Within literally 2 minutes I’d had a refund confirmed. No waiting for people to eventually pick up the phone after 40 minutes. No misunderstanding or annoying questions. The moment I pressed send on my message it instantly started formulating a reply.
The truncated version went:
“Hey I meant to get [x] delivery, but it hasn’t arrived. Can I get a refund?”
“Sure, your money will go back into [y] account in a few days. If the parcel turns up in the meantime, you can send it back by dropping it off at [z]”
Done. Absolutely painless.
I loved the idea of Auto Modellista, but sadly couldn’t get into it because I found the races lacking… something…
But I’m also a huge fan of Ridge Racer, so if they can deliver fun RR style racing with the awesome AM style aesthetics, I think I’ll be happy to pick this one up.
If it gives a nice progressive career mode and fast-paced online (or even split screen) multiplayer, that’d be all I need ❤
Imagine having to remove a bunch of shit just so you can use your OS. smh
Luckily, there exists an OS which undermines extreme enshittification. Can’t remember the name, though …
I’m still quite happy using weird in a positive light. I feel context is always important for a word. Plenty of words have double meanings depending on context.
I’ve been playing OG PS2 San Andreas. Absolutely loving it ❤️

I’m a driving instructor and I believe automated roads would be a godsend. I’d actually be happy the day I don’t have to do my job, not because I hate it - I actually love my job - but because automated roads would be so much safer overall.
Pictures I can hear 🤌
I dunno how blind I have to be to miss this for all this time, but the air vents they have on the pit wall are the same air vents you get on a Mercedes-Benz.
It makes perfect sense, but it’s rather amusing 😂
I’m a Formula One fan. The Mercedes team are sponsored by them. You see their logo every time you see an on board shot of the cars.
I had no idea until this weekend.
I think they’re responding to your question. The companies that deserve it are probably the ones behind the attack.
I remember when they first introduced the live chat feature.
You could literally watch the other person type something out, erase their mistakes and correct it in real time.
That shit blew my mind as a kid.
RIP one of the most enjoyable messengers I ever used 🫡
I’m more of a Pegasus guy myself.

I’m subscribed to Prime because I order too much shit and want to save on delivery costs. Those little Amazon lockers are too damn convenient for me.
If I watch their content, it’s via my PC with an ad block. I stop watching their shit the day I can’t block their ads because fuck’em.
