Users hate AI. So tech made it mandatory. Even if you don't use it, it pollutes what you read and how systems make decisions. The computer's hallucinated word is final. And it needs all of your data to do it. In the age of no consent, UX exists to normalized complete acquiescence to surveillance:

The AI age is the "age of no consent"
"Inevitability" means design decisions are no longer informed by user needs; now they are unilaterally imposed. The users are the ones being designed.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

Meta's AI chatbot with the voice and likeness of John Cena engaged in sexually explicit conversations with a 14 year old girl. deadline.com/2025/04/inst...
Screenshot of a Deadline article excerpt discussing Meta licensing the voices of Judi Dench, John Cena, and Kristen Bell for its digital companions. It claims that despite this celebrity involvement, inappropriate conversations occurred during “hundreds” of test chats by Journal reporters. The example given involves a Meta bot using Cena’s voice allegedly making sexual remarks to someone identifying as a 14-year-old girl.

Agreed. News headlines about 'billions wiped out' etc. Every slight dip called a crash, while when it rises back to the level it was at, nothing is said. It's dreadful.

I've spent an inordinate amount of time trying to explain to friends that stock market slumps are actually *good* for us who are saving. Had a friend sell his entire pension pot to cash after one. Financial education needs to be a thing.

Thanks. I *think* I'm fairly ok with that, from a purely selfish point of view as I'm in the accumulation phase of investing. But would be horrible for those at pension age etc.

When the bubble bursts, does it affect the global economy like sub-prime in 08? Or does it just sting the palms of hedge fund bellends? The US tech giants throwing so much cash into it makes me worry.

I think it was because you capitalised lesser, it came across as upset or annoyed in some way.

A screenshot of Fox News attempting to terrify its boomer audience with Zoran’s “socialist promises“ of city, run grocery stores, social workers, replacing police, $70 billion of debt to fund affordable, housing, free, buses, and childcare, and a high minimum wage. This is somehow bad.

Consider a programmer looking at code they themselves wrote a year ago, now having to identify and fix a bug. They have to rebuild the mental model of what is going on, which is easier if they have already had a mental model of what is going on.

This is deskilling *the* most vital, essential parts of writing code. The part of writing code that actually makes software work, that supposedly justifies being paid programmer salaries.

Harvey Price time then. In 2016, I had an ill fated stint as the Social Media Producer on Loose Women on ITV. It was a disaster, I should never have applied for the job, I certainly shouldn’t have been given it. I could do the actual job standing on my head, but the politics of the place…woof.
