Too many people are mad about Microsoft and Adobe's latest nanny functions being marketed as "AI!!!" more than about them being spyware on a level that would have gotten these things blacklisted as highly dangerous Trojans by every anti-malware program on the planet in 2005.

And these companies are depending on that.

They would much rather be able to write off everyone who doesn't want these "features" as technophobic old grumps and Chicken Littles reacting to a buzzword than have people actually broadly acknowledge the invasiveness of it all.

Once more, with feeling,

It's not "Microsoft and Adobe want to integrate AI features to spy on the things you do on your own devices,"

It's "Microsoft and Adobe want to integrate AI features to spy on the things you do on your own devices."

the transphobe rhetoric of "forever patients" should be read as a clear signal of intent to kill the disabled btw

Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz sent young women thousands of dollars on Venmo for the reasons of “Reimbursement,” “Being my friend,” “🤗,” “xtra 4 u,” and “Just because”

I don't want my cellphone to have AI I want it to have 3 days of battery time. I don't want my computer to have AI preinstalled I want it to have seven usb ports and high ram at affordable price. I don't want my games to have AI built levels I want them to be so optimized I could run them on a nokia.

I need live action television in particular to have groups of friends going out and doing like, karaoke or something, and one or more or most of the group is singing off key or out of sync with the song and literally no one comments on it or makes a big deal out of it because most normal every day people are not going to be starring on American Idol or have been enrolled in singing lessons.

I want a friend group where a main character starts singing "badly" and no one bats an eye or makes fun of them and everyone's just enjoy themselves and joining in because singing is meant to be a fun social thing even if you're not a fucking flawless opera singer.

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"

The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.

We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...
