I'm not pro vandalism, but if the author had ever once needed to navigate around these on public sidewalks, the thought might occur that the nerves touched don't necessarily concern A.I.

I'm fairly confident that the frustration here is less about A.I. than it is about real people having to navigate around mule-bots camping in the left lane.

If I built an AI lab and it went rogue and deleted all student loan information, I'm betting they'd suddenly figure out how to prosecute me.

2 types of people in airports: "I don't have to do it because this machine does it for me" and "this machine makes my own effort more efficient."

They really don't need as much homework as they're often assigned. Much easier to keep AI out of classrooms than their phone apps.

AI enables without holding anyone accountable. There is a subset of parents who are exactly like this.

Dr. Strangelove is streaming free on Tubi. It's been ages since I watched it. It's barely satire at this point.

I became a motorist so that I might never suffer the pain of temporary inconvenience. It's become my entire lifestyle, and I feel betrayed by these lane closures.

The combination of collecting billions of images of street addresses and policing every minute of their drivers' lives are apparently worth the cost.

AI has lost the Mandate of Heaven I’m afraid. WSJ saying it’s a “when” the ai bubble bursts. SNL dabbing on their biggest names for being weird. FT says 50% of chips sold in 2026 and 2027 have nowhere to go. Hundreds of billions short on revenue for even 10% ROIC. A disaster.

This. Also I expect the current accountability shift from company to product to eventually shift again to the end user, once the product has been "regulated" in ways that favor the company.

Some people see things like this and shout about term limits, but in a functioning democracy, term limits are built into the system by being able to vote for literally anyone else on the ballot.

My neighbor's dog always barks to be let inside at 10:30 p.m. which is a noise ordinance violation. Also, people drop trash out of their cars onto the street, so I guess you could say crime is rampant. Please add those to the chart.

Haunted by that post circulating where the genAI bro is like 'if I have the idea and tell AI to write it, it's basically writing a book' and just the fundamental misunderstanding of writing, books, why people pursue arts...this is not just about churning out something with your name on it.
