The Windows updates that happen at the worst moments (or when you step away for a second to grab a drink from teh fridge 5 steps away or use restroom) despite being blocked is a modern pox. It's something you curse your enemies with.

“Even if I’m just looking at this in the cold mercenary MBA freak way—the ‘I want to generate income as much as possible’ way—you can’t make a thing people want to buy if the thing you want to buy is the same thing everyone else has. And that’s what you fucking get with AI models. It’s definitionally part of how they work.
So all using [AI] will do is make you compete worse. You have to do laps on a hamster wheel to arrive at the opposite conclusion. Because the only way to actually make money on this shit besides a pump-and-dump is to be the guy selling the shovels. And even the shovels are starting to rust.
Even the stuff that sounds good or looks good for a given value of ‘good’ (i.e. it convincingly looks at a glance like it wasn’t generated with a machine, it’s ‘professional’) is only capable of spitting out inputs that existed before. You can feel it in the ‘choices’ it makes, because it doesn’t make choices; it chooses a value with a weight given by a model patched from every work at once on fast forward. The nutritional value of AI work is approximately identical to watching a 2000s horror movie trailer compilation at 4X speed while second-screening Maury transcriptions. It might be fun to look at, but it will kill you on the inside."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreigiufrt3kp7efextkls2lz25nctkkjrso6ya4vbap7y72wkytlkem)
![“It was already excruciating [to wait] over the long weekend—which made it impossible to relax,” one current Blizzard employee told Aftermath. “Now we have it indefinitely, and nobody knows who it will hit.”
“I’ve worked in roofing, construction, insulation, house building, glass factories, pallet shops, group homes for disabled and violent adults, gas stations, food service, customer service, and jobs involving gas meters,” said a current Activision employee. “Out of every industry I’ve worked in, I have never struggled financially or mentally as hard as I have working here.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreia33ri4m3qh37xh4gs3ump4tlu3ez5zdg6xaj5asd4mz4skfmsszq)
