“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

Gaming-Only journalists and analysts are pretty accurately calling this EA acquisition what it is: a doomed idea that will cause untold human misery and kill the company and probably bury all its IPs

Tech/Gaming Journalists keep trying to find a silver lining. Huh. Curious. Strange. Odd. Quirky.

Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

@virtualeconcast.com @futterish.fsquared.biz Thank you for the usual thoughtful analysis. I'm still really anxious, especially about the workers. I hope they are able to protect themselves and I rather like your Nightdive idea, Mike. Be nice if we could see some of the oldies get new life.

Dammit Mike - now you got me going 😭 - as much as I've had cause to loathe EA's business practices and output lately, they were supposedly good to their people. I fear for the workers now, I really do.

We're living under a christofascist administration who explicitly hate their political opponents

The non-technical opinion columnists have painted a decentralized app as a "liberal" hiding place

VP of said administration created an account to troll

The company behind the app is trying to survive
