As big tech pushes AI spending to the max, you may be helping to pay for it

Big tech companies including Meta, Alphabet and Amazon are spending billions on AI, but they're not the only ones paying for it as software fees rise.

Introverts are really nice until you break their trust. Then they’ll cut you off and disappear without a word. Don’t mistake their kindness for weakness

What The Hell Is Going On, a thread:
I’ve seen some thinkpieces and posts about Portland protests that fail to understand the long-term hyperspecificity of Portland culture/humor, and frame it as a sort of shitposting meme-pilled ironic thing. Which is wrong.
So I’m gonna give you my breakdown.

You can arrest us or pepper spray us or whatever, but we will make you look stupid and feel silly doing it because wanting to assert control is stupid. You want to assert control? Do it to an inflatable frog!
So, it’s not just a meme thing, it’s a Portland cultural thing.

It’s been so destructive for the internet experience in general that we absolutely cannot trust any video we see anymore. That’s all that AI has achieved. A terrible user experience that no one asked for.

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.
