They brick you because they can.

Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15

Logitech’s interest in the smart home has appeared to wane in recent years.

yep. softbank wants to spend $20b of actual dollars, so they can write down $40b of imaginary OpenAI equity value, so Vision Fund 2 is theoretically in the black pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/27/s...

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

BUT I THINK THE MAIN REASON "DISCOURSE" BECAME A BAD WORD IS BECAUSE 90% IT'S PEOPLE SCREAMING THAT THEY ARE PREPARED TO DIE OVER WETHER OR NOT IT'S ETHICAL FOR SUPERMAN TO HAVE A SECRET IDENTITY, AND THE REMAINING 10% IS TIER LISTS OF WHICH RACES ARE BEST.

the "it's just a tool" thing is another example of this. Being *just a tool* is to fail as *intelligence*

Anything less than:

request: "do this"
result: "it is done perfectly"

is a failure

Steve Farrugia @fasterandworse.com · 1d

Replacing the search bar with the LLM as an *interface* to the documentation is an objective assertion that the LLM does not work.

The LLM promise is to be an oracle, not a librarian.

Remember this every time you see the newest headline about some creative industry person going on about so-called AI being the future.

Jón Kristinsson @jonkk.bsky.social · Sep 2

Every time someone opens their mouth to hype AI, just google “name of person/company invests in AI” and you’ll *always* find something. Every time.
