In a battle between the spawn of Zuck vs. the spawn off Thiel, what to root for? a) injuries b) the asteroid c) a Vogon destructor fleet d) all of the above Naturally, I choose d. It's the only way to be sure.

Gee, it would be a shame if the next POTUS just disregarded laws and norms and promptly erased every sign of Trump's existence from DC. It's not like there would be a precedent for a POTUS to act like that. Wait a second...

Its beneficial uses are a limited subset of what the C Suite club is trying to impose. And it is being used beyond that subset to the detriment of consumers in virtually all markets. I'd say that >90% of current customer service failures/declines are due to improperly deployed AI.

Now apply this to the expansion of "subscription" models to things like features on cars or appliances. (Subject of a recent Last Week Tonight.) "Ownership" used to mean something that no longer applies in the MBA mindset...

I was told recently by AT&T that I would have to wait for a replacement for my dead router to arrive by mail - no service call was available, nor were they available at any of my local AT&T stores. I was informed of all this by their "AI" phone chat. I am no longer an AT&T customer.

It's not stated in some circles, but the reason remains: BIbi played Trump.

I'm truly worried about Trump's health. I want him to live (and retain some cognizance) long enough to witness the scourging of the US and see how little of what he's doing to put his stamp on the country will remain. "Two vast and trunkless cankles of stone..."

The headline is a bit misleading - and of course, many "rare" books aren't rare in terms of content but of format or presentation, like first editions. But the big push for AI really is 57 varieties of fucked up.. Josh Marshall's take is good: talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/the-e...

One of my hobby-horse conspiracy theories is the idea that much "popular" culture of the 20th and early 21sr century (as shown by things like Nielsen ratings, Billboard and box office charts) was specifically aimed at making people dumber. The internets simply made "intent" irrelevant.

As much as streaming is a boon, never forget: Even a "purchase" amounts to a mere license, one that can disappear in a moment. (cf PlayStation) And "free with ads" needs a browser mod to change it to "unwatchable". Physical media - still the best.
