the biker bar sequence from Terminator 2 but Arnie’s POV keeps getting everything confidently wrong. A biker is “Volvo Estate”.
A knife is “Old Lady”.

One of my biggest gripes with leftist movements is that they don't really know what they strive for, only what they fight against. If you can't define your goals without what you oppose, you are playing on somebody else's field, and will - eventually - pan out or lose.
My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

Yeah, but it frequently wasn't what I thought I told them to do
remember when computers did what you told them to

It's a common thing that people with money/power disregard research that goes against their "ideas". They assume that they have money/power because they are smart, or at least competent at what they do.
I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

You can live assuming everyone is doing their best. But then you need to expect that some people's "best" is, frankly, terrible.

all the news stories you see for "AI" products that seem more like advertisements are exactly that, they're hoping that if they keep astroturfing the idea that "AI" is real and everywhere and unavoidable it will eventually become true
