Oh, you're absolutely right, sir! I knew I'd forgotten something! Can't have the operations chief sitting around daydreaming when there's work to be done, can we? Oh ho ho ho, I'll get right on it!

Actually young people using annoying inscrutable slang is a relatively modern invention. Kids used to only say stuff like "Gosh, Pa"

The fact that not enough people use this shit-ass technology that is always wrong and it costs too much to constantly maintain so it can't ever make any profit is, to me, very fucking funny.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

Tell my job I'm only working 3-4 days a week and if they have a problem with that then I'll leave and won't come back. And this kind of thing is why they won't give it to us.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

If AI is so revolutionary and empowering people's creativity, where the hell is all the cool stuff made using it? We should be flooded with it by now. Where is it? There's nothing. Jack shit. It's fucking worthless crap.

A Mormon friend of mine from highschool invited me to his 16th birthday party and he served us caffeine free soda, which was fine, I don't think anyone cared, but his mom told me, beaming, that she'd said he could serve caffeine to his friends and he *chose* to serve us his Holy Soda instead.

Everyone is sort of aware that, while leftists are less likely to carry guns, those who do are much more likely than fascists to know how to use them, in the same way that leftists are more competent, hardworking, and experienced than fash at pretty much everything else
I strongly believe the only reason drag story hours were not riddled with bullets is because counter protestors (leftists) showed up strapped in response to anti trans folks showing up with AR-15s

Maybe the solution to "American" vs "usian" controversy is to just not have names for the continents at all, I've never liked that anyway. Seems like bs. Continents are just made up by big earth to sell us more Europe.
