I've been playing #ArcRaiders and the tldr of this video is a) I swear under pressure and b) you can extract while knocked!

'Man leaves job' is often a front page in adland trade mags.

But 'Man (whose name comes up in women's whisper networks as 'one to avoid') leaves job' is both welcome - hooray! he's no longer a danger! - and horrible (for his victims to see his face plastered everywhere).

*Sigh*

Tweet (yes, ugh, I know) from Seth Harper of New Yorker story on AI:

The biggest capital outlay ever, for a product that no one will pay for.
OpenAl loses ten billion dollars a quarter. There is no path to profitability for subprime Al. These absurd data centers will stand sentinel over the ruins of our fake economy like moai on Easter Island.

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.
