And yet nobody is currently talking about them, having the marketing push replaced with AI.
In a few years, AI tech will be silent, behind the scenes, and if anyone mentions it at all it will be “hey, remember when everyone was talking about AI?” while we’re all bitching about the new marketing buzzword.
I’ve been working in tech for 30+ years and involved in tech for close to 50 now. I’ve seen this pattern over and over again.
Last time I was in L.A. (Barbenheimer - Mann’s Chinese Theater), I rented a scooter from Cloud of Goods. Did the same thing in Vegas. Lifesaver.
They delivered straight to the hotel, it was ready for me when I checked in.
“If you die, the bastards win, right?”
Illegitimi non carborundum
Should be way easier to replace a CEO. No need for a golden parachute, if the AI fails, you just turn it off.
But I’d imagine right now you have CEOs being paid millions and using an AI themselves. Worst of both worlds.
For those of us who have been around the block a few times, AI is going to just be invisible in a few years, replaced by the new marketing buzzword, probably “Quantum”.
Source: Seen it before when the word was “Cloud”. Oh, it’s all in the Cloud! Cloud, cloud, cloud.
Before that it was “Virtualization”. It’s going to make everything more efficient!
Man, I need to make an AI powered quantum cloud virtualization.
Generating bullshit that isn’t really that useful.
Remember when the Apple Newton “revolutionized” computing with handwriting recognition?
No, of course not, because the whole thing sucked and vanished outside of old Doonesbury cartoons. LOL
I’d be showing up with a loudspeaker blaring his most vile comments. Don’t let them hide under “moment of silence” bullshit.
My favorite is a local:
Boring, Oregon with Dull, Scotland.
Add in Bland, Australia and they go beyond sister cities to the “Trinity of Tedium”.

“that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps.”
Whew! I’m in the clear then!
Oh, shit, “being an adult: the cartoon”.
I can’t say “it didn’t happen” all I can say is “I didn’t see it” and man, we EXPECTED it.
When you click on a report, it should bypass any block, it doesn’t.
This isn’t organically viewing a post, it’s responding to a report and it is visible when reported.
Invasion of the Bodysnatchers is inherently scary, but it carries an added meaning when you realize it was capitalizing on 1950s fears of communism.
Tone deaf. Fortunately I don’t do music.
A good one I’ve been picking up recently is a comic book called “The Future is ******” from a cyber security company called Rekcah. (Hacker backwards).
It’s a world that is simultaneously the most utopian LOOKING and dystopian FEELING I’ve ever seen.
#5 just came out, they have an agressive 60 issue plan. It will be interesting to see if they hit it. $4.04 per issue. $13.37 variant on #1.

If I block someone, and one of their posts or comments gets reported for moderation, it won’t allow the moderation tools to work. I have to un-block them to moderate them.
Forget the alligators:
Morning of the Charlie Kirk killing.
Speaking as a former top 1%er redditor… figuring out how to do it and being willing to do it are two completely different things.
Life would be so much easier if I lacked basic human ethics. :)
