We still remember how to do things without AI, I mean, it's been maybe 3-4 years now?
I asked chatgpt how long it has been part of culture, and it confidently said it's been 26 wonderful years.

For example, try understanding why the summary mentions "It requires non-algorithmic understanding" a full three times. It's like asking the square root of a million... no one will ever know.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result.
I keep telling people this, and they keep saying I'm wrong, something about it not being an actual accepted or useful definition of insanity, just a meme that caught on at some point. Their refusal to see the truth is driving me f'ing crazy!

Anyone stubbornly clinging to Windows 7 or 8 now has two choices: upgrade or stay stuck on outdated software.
I may not have a PhD in thinky stuff, but someone running Windows7 is on outdated software even if their word processor is current.

Corporate Vice President and head of Windows, said that voice will emerge as a primary input
Translation: In the same manner that Windows came up with a narrative about why screenshotting user activity is "good for the user", they're now coming up with a narrative about why listening/storing all audio at all times is "good for the user".
Whereas to me, this means windows machines now officially join the ranks of other machines-- like Alexa -- that I refuse to allow in my house EVER. It's arguable I could/should have gotten there even prior to this; let's call this the straw that will finally motivate me to go to the mattress about the issue with other people I live with.

The WSJ is actually read by influential people in most industries and there's been a problem with the lack of pushback against those promoting AI.
I read that Luigi Mangione was motivated by his conversations with an AI. I wonder if that'd get through to them?
(It was, btw, an AI that told me that.)
