My Internet went down recently. The AI CS agent chatbot tried to gaslight me that my Internet service was not down, I didn't restart my modem/router correctly, and eventually told me that my ISP doesn't sell internet service and that I should write my congress person about my Internet being down.

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

This is the state of my inbox over the past 3 months (since I last cleaned it out). 95% of them are AI companies. Why are so many AI companies seemingly so desperate for engineers? Why don't they just use AI? If it's good enough for their customers, why isn't it good enough for them?

The #eBay buyer experience is so painful these days. One out of a dozen examples: If the seller has disabled accepting messages, then WHY show the link, let me write a message, THEN give this BS "error" as if this is my fault somehow? Are you trying to drive buyers off the platform?

If your product asks for feedback. Do NOT tell me I typed too many characters after I took my time to write out said solicited feedback. WHY IS THERE A CHARACTER LIMIT? One errored telling me 512 characters. So I cut it down then it errored again telling me it was actually 128 characters. WTF.

Whoever decided that "restart" for the P button challenges in Mario Kart World shouldn't actually retry, but instead respawn you out front the button. So you have to hit it, watch the entire un-skippable camera flyover all over again every single time should have a finger wagged at them very angrily

The @tailwindcss.com vs "write your own CSS, dummy" debate is always derailed by dogmatic absolutionists. Utility classes aren't the devil, and neither is S/CSS. You can use both at the same time! I've rediscovered Bootstrap recently, and have been impressed by what feels like a pragmatic balance.

A must watch. This @kurzgesagt.org vid isn't about AI ripping them off (despite that being true). It looks far deeper, and uses their experience in deep research and fact checking to prove how cooked we really are. A catastrophic feedback loop is well underway with AI sourcing its own slop online

Apple lets anyone play audio to your ATV over BT with zero passcode or anything by default. It's absurd. I have a ton of neighbour ATVs show up on my audio output menu on my Mac and I cannot disable discovery on my end as long as I have BT enabled on my machine. How is this still a thing?!

You're giving courts way too much credit that they understand technology and how that's different than someone asking giphy based on a text prompt to give them a gif of Batman.

James King @jamesk.ing · 05/09/2025
How do the gif hosts make money and would anyone use them if 99% of the content there was not based on copyrighted material? To be clear, I'm not defending the AI companies. I'm just saying there's a lot of nuance here and an overly broad decision in this case could be used to attack fair use

James King @jamesk.ing · 05/09/2025
I mean... every reaction gif host has copyrighted works on their servers. Then they allow people to use that copyrighted work to put text overtop. Then they host and redistribute it. People need to be careful about what they're celebrating here and decisions in cases like these set precedent

This sort of law is coming to every red state that can ram it through, and likely, a lot of blue states, too. "Protect the children" sounds good, right up until everyone's activity online must be monitored to prevent any potential exposure of someone under 21 to anything considered immoral.

Seeing "AI" enter its "mad cow disease" era didn't give the schadenfreude I expected. Honestly didn't expect it to go this far - AI was so aggressively and parasitically deployed that it quickly eradicated its own food source. AI training itself on AI output turns out to not be a great idea.

"It's a shame, such a shame that the French have not made a deal. I told Macaron; that's what they call him, Macaron, I said - you need to pay up like the Greeks, who are coming with a very fantastic wonderful gift. It's a massive - biggest gift in the world.

Nope - way too articulate and nowhere near meandering enough "And so the Greeks, we love the Greeks don't we? They sent a beautiful, and you know the Greeks know beautiful, there's a fantastic Trump tower there in grease. The most - they say - the most impressive building in all of grease." 1/??

Just got a recruiter email from X... you'd think they'd filter out ppl based on their Twitter history. That said - want to note that not everyone shares the privileged position I'm in to choose not to work for the fascist nazi fuck. Holding to principles often boils down to what one can afford.

This is probably one of the most gutting, yet highly plausible futures that faces society. We already treat eachother with so little humanity online. The irony of the Internet becoming a tool of segregation and cutting away human connection versus enabling them is not something I saw coming.
