corporate-speak grates so much because language is supposed to be expressive, a way for us to communicate information, whereas the sole purpose of corporate-speak is to create the illusion of information without the substance or to outright conceal meaning. it is an abomination

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

deeply frustrating whenever i see someone has created a TV show, which earns you a ton of money, and is also credited with writing every episode, which earns you a bunch more money and provides no credits or money for anyone else
