If only we could convert empty hype into energy.

Would the electorate even notice I’d they said they didn’t?

It doesn’t even make any difference whether Trump is president of Default Country in actuality or not, because he has been president of its soul for decades already.

What makes the cameras “AI”? Do they sing “Daisy Bell” if you try to turn them off?

I always feel like people are gaslighting me when they pretend to be impressed by someone pouring a little heart pattern into the top of a hot drink.

“Oh, this is barista coffee darling!” Why is there not a special job title like that for people who flip burgers good?

I can’t even be bothered with 4k, never mind this. I guess least it gives them something to do…

It’s not AI - most companies are still in the process of experimenting with it and exploring the limitations of it, and there’s a tonne of shoe leather it doesn’t seem able to help with. If anything, companies need warm bodies to try to generate innovative uses for it.

Feels what we’re seeing is the repercussions of lots of huge tech corps making mass layoffs last year to placate their shareholders in the face of growth stagnation. Of course a lot of those devs got hired back as contractors, and consequently the global contractor market is a shambles atm, but that’s an awful lot of Silicon Vallet devs in the pool who’ll really struggle to replicate that kind of package in the wider world. I certainly felt this when I rocked up in a new city earlier last year with nothing but a CV and a plucky “can-do” attitude. I initially planned to contract but ended up taking perm, because I like food and a roof over my head.
