Reminds me of so many people I came up with. They carry so much debt driving fancy cars that wear out and maintaining too-large homes they didn't really need. Most people are struggling too much now for that nonsense. But it used to be very common and normalized.

Too many people equate AI with LLMs only. LLMs are mostly bubbled bullshit, with a few limited use cases. But AI is a much broader topic. The really scary AI is the stuff we hear little to nothing about.
People also forget how dramatically tech can advance over time. Spoiled impatient Americans in particular want a finished product or they quickly write it off as "garbage". They forget every product we own and use was once "garbage".
I'm 56. I hang out with 5 to 6 friends 10 times a month on average. Mostly to play tabletop games. Sometimes I meet one or two for lunch.

I've never understood the massive success of this game franchise. I understand the appeal and that many people find it fun, but it's just never been all that great, IMO. There are so many much better titles out there. I'm guessing it's early success plus huge advertising budget and/or paid-for reviews.
They are intentionally making websites frustrating so we'll use their stupid proprietary apps instead.
In the USA: complicated tax returns that require tax software and/or professional help. It's a rent-seeking scam.

It's a fun thought experiment. I'm going to cop out and say I just wish my country had more than Republican and Republican Lite to vote for.
