Brianna and Roger (I remember his name because I hate him) killed my love of that show. Every scene with them is excruciating to get through. Also, he's controlling and an asshole but the show presents him as a romantic hero. The whole thing was so odd.

We're all quite 38-year-old here.

It's honestly rare to see such consensus amongst the 38-year-olds.

Today, the Crave app stopped a show I was watching to tell me I no longer had access to that show. I did, I'm watching it right now. The app just periodically loses track of what I have access to.

Bell has been in telecommunications for one and a half centuries and this is their streaming app.

Here's the reality this example illustrates:

It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).

Anyway, keep telling me how awesome Carney is, it only makes me post more about how much he sucks.

I admit, I do pass very regressive taxes. I'm not even taxing anyone right now.
