Taking 1st graders on a museum tour. Part of the exhibit shows German prisoners of war. I explain that some of them were given work in suburbs.

Me: 😶 I mean... kinda.

I have carried a Back pack almost everyday since I was 15.
Everytime I think "I won't need this today", I regret it.

AI is part of what’s killing adobe but not in this sense. You can’t open Acrobat without it bugging you to use its AI. You can’t toggle it off. Everybody hates that shit. Nobody wants it. This will be the fate of every company trying to force AI
