Good point. They’re pivoting to porn, unless that was the end game all along.

Ever so gently, Mark, and why don’t we give them handjobs too while we’re at it.

OK, so they’re pivoting because their main offering that would take away millions of jobs has… failed?

I wish my company realised this already. They’re neck-deep in AI marketing, splashing it all over their site and shoving it in every part of the software. We have to use AI internally too, but no one’s asked what we need!

Why yes, I want to be one of those obnoxious people in the cafe who talks to documents. Gonna make Satya proud.

There is a cult of action at the heart of tech.

This cult says: don't mind that the systems are broken. Don't try and fix them. You can just do things, using you ubermensch will.

AI has plugged into this cult to promise 10x-ing your action. But instead your will becomes subservient to the machine.

"Just doing things" is not a path to value

Action for the sake of action feels good, but the path of least resistance leads you to surrender your own agency.
