I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
people are used to artists doing basically a greatest hits show for the halftime performance. kendrick was the first in a while to do a legitimately calculated act to show a very deliberate message which i loved, but i can see how people who think ai is cool would find it boring
I’m genuinely starting to understand why scientists become mad. No one ever listens to them and they’re always right. The only time people choose to listen to them is when they need them to fix their mistakes.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN PAYING FEDERAL TAXES FOR IF THE GOP IS GOING TO SHUT DOWN EVERY PROGRAM AND AGENCY THAT HELPS US? OUR TAX DOLLARS ARE GOING DIRECTLY INTO THE POCKETS OF MUSK, TRUMP, AND THEIR BILLIONAIRE GOONS! GOLF TRIPS! THE SUPERBOWL! SPACE X! IVANKA'S PROJECTS!
