There are no AI agents that cannot be contained. There are only companies not bothering (often quite deliberately) to contain them.

Prime Big Deal Days will let you save "up to 50%" on "select" items, but you can save ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT of the price of anything on Amazon with this one weird trick: Don't buy it.

"There is no us" - Grosse Point Blank
That scene from Grosse Point Blank BOB Smart boy. Real smart. Let's see how smart you are with my foot up your ass! I'm gonna kick your ass! MARTIN Why would you want to hit me, Bob? Do you really believe that there's some stored up conflict that needs resolution between us? We don't exist. There's nothing between us. So who do you want to hit, Bob? It's not me.

"No, no, no—you lazy consumers, you're doing it all wrong. You're supposed to buy expensive appetite-suppressing weight loss drugs AND spend lots of money on large portions of food." Capital regards every dollar in your hands as their unrealized profit.
Screenshot of a New York Times article page. The headline reads, “America’s Restaurants Face a Dilemma: How to Sell Food in the GLP-1 Era.” The subheadline says, “Fewer orders and higher costs are squeezing restaurants big and small as people on the weight-loss drugs eat and drink less when dining out.” Below is an option to listen to the 8:41-minute article, along with buttons for sharing, saving, and comments.

I'm not telling you that you have to boycott everything. You are allowed to live in the modern world. To have a problematic fave. To not approach every consumer choice like it's a hill you have to die on. But you can afford to put Harry Potter down.

Always Play With Their Mind Games
Alt: Animated GIF from the film 'Empire Records.' Lucas, a dark-haired young man in a black turtleneck, walks away from Mark, another young man with unkempt hair, and says "Always play with their minds," as he goes. (The caption says "mind," but the audio in the film is clearly plural.)

I appreciate that they really went for it on the colors, more so than Apple did with the MacBook Neo, and that you can spec it up higher than you can the Neo, but nobody should be running Windows 11 on 8 GB. (No, it's not the same.) www.theverge.com/gadgets/1003...
A Verge news card shows four slim HP laptops in pastel green, pink, blue, and gray. The headline reads, “HP’s answer to the MacBook Neo is thinner, lighter, and comes with OLED.” The article was posted 5 hours ago and is by Antonio Di Benedetto.

Someone showed me a job posting on LinkedIn today that was a posted by Haystack, who was reposting a job from Dice, who was reposting a job from the hiring firm. I defy you to explain to me what possible value Haystack, Dice, or any of their competitors are adding to this process.
