No that was implied. There's something called "subtlety," heard of it?

I thought DisplayPort over USB-C was the new hotness, but they're just learning about HDMI? Color me amused.

Enjoy your Bixby button.

True, we need to think outside the box. Go back to in-person oral exams. If you can't explain what you know out loud, then you don't know it. I know, nobody has time to listen to all that, so... have an AI grade the transcript.

This is probably correct. Amazon's software has always been terrible... Amazon Music, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon App Store... all pieces of shit with no direction. So as an Amazon customer I'm actually looking forward to these lousy programmers getting replaced by AI. I won't say it can't get any worse, but at least it's likely to get better if only by regression to the mean...

You're right there, but the problem is that it's fantastic at allowing a bad manager to hide his incompetence. Suddenly all the shitty managers have amazing ideas on how the company should be run after a brief conversation with ChatGPT. Don't like it? Here's ten paragraphs of bullshit to distract you while I jump on another meeting,

I never let them take away my search bar, but congrats on reinventing the wheel.

What is annoying, though, is that a lot of web sites (especially developer-oriented ones) are adding keyboard shortcuts that override the usual Ctrl-K used to selecting the search bar. I have long-established muscle memory for the following sequence to open a new tab and perform a search without touching the mouse: Ctrl-T, Ctrl-K, type in my search terms, hit Enter. When that doesn't work because of a 'convenient shortcut' on the page I happen to be on, I get cranky.

Seen Youtube lately? I just watched a video on how to make nitroglycerin. Stuff like this has been available for over a decade.

I guess the only solution here is to have a checkbox that says "I promise I will not use this information for illegal purposes" before you can access any LLM.

Same feeling about my Oculus Quest 2... just gathering dust, but at least it was "only" $300...

In my conversations with ChatGPT, while I do find it helpful, I do worry that it is simply telling me what I want to hear. It's far too agreeable and certainly no replacement for human conversation.

Every crook regrets that they didn't do a better job of not getting caught, in hindsight.

When you have this "warning" on all major apps, it will lose meaning. I should now be able to pay directly with my credit card for all major apps, including Skip the Dishes, Uber, etc. Android already does this--you can use Google Pay, or just enter your credit card directly. In fact, you're incentivized to do so--my bank gives me a free Skip Plus membership if I don't use Google Pay and just pay with my credit card. Once enough major apps do this (and they will do this, because if you can save money they will do it) this warning will lose all meaning.

Well okay, maybe not disingenuous, but definitely alarmist. I guess Apple users are used to those kinds of warnings if they stray outside their walled garden. Personally I still use some critical thinking when I enter a credit card into a web site, but that skill seems to have disappeared.

Isn't this a selling feature? Clearly the wording is disingenuous but people should quickly figure out that it means they can charge less. This might backfire.

Well someone has to maintain the datacenters that power the AI, so every year it will select a lucky few to be "educated" before being sent to toil in the bowels of the North Virginia hypercomplex, never seeing the light of day again...
