Now that programming and technology has been democrarised thanks to AI, it means we don't need large teams of computer engineers. And that means more FOSS and reduced reliance on tech giants, isn't it?

AI and related infrastructure is expensive. And the pervasive use of AI in everything is a way to premium-ise everything and raise prices and fun AI initiatives. Every company marketing themselves as AI first, will pass on the cost to consumers, just like tariffs. Even when AI is unnecessary.

Watching the latest @veritasium.bsky.social video has definitely made me think more seriously about PFAs, whereas until now I thought it was a less important, extreme & niche eco friendly concern used by brands & influencers.

I find using terms like b-word or n-word or r-word is so annoyingly pointless. Everyone knows what they stand for, when someone is saying these terms, everyone hearing is interpreting the same offensive word. What have you solved for by using the modified word? It's just performative

We don't talk about this enough, but 100% sure there are ad agencies working for your favourite fascist, be it Trump or Modi, and especially so for the oligarchs like Elon, Adani, Gates, Tata, etc. Consultants and Ad Agencies are the real enables of societal collapse.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Why does Severance feel like The Good Place? And they both feel like the video game Hades. Is this the rogue-like genre trickling down to film and TV?

CMV: Advertising is just another type of misinformation and works using the same mechanisms. (paid media, targets emotional response, works by repetitive reinforcement, is often vague/unclear)

LOL it finally happened. I do hope we kill all billionaires.

The number #1 determinant of your mood is your rank on the Duolingo leaderboard.

Imagine if someonody monetises your personal diary/daily journal for ads. That's basically the business model of AI based assistants like ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini.

Can somebody at Google tell me how this is an irrelevant review?

China Tech Industry: Lets build Gen6 aircrafts, fusion reactors, cost effective LLM models, and high speed rail. Indian Tech Industry: Lets build casteism for the 21st century.

scent diffusers are just vapes for homes.

Now who is going to invade America and save them from the tyranny of fascism?

I am loving the way honey expose has destroyed credibility on YouTube content. No matter whether you're Linus or MKBHD or Louis Rossman. I wonder if YouTube ads are now going to have the opposite of intended effect, the way sparkly pop-up banner ads immediately trigger scam alert in our heads.

CMV: Nvidia is making GPUs increasingly more unaffordable for consumers so that eventually consumers only game on subscription based cloud gaming platforms instead of personal PCs. That's also a higher margin business model for Nvidia and it's partners (Apple, Microsoft, Sony etc.)
