I wish the software was written by highschool beginners. It would still be better than the code written by Apu from Bangalore.

Hey!! I ordered 2 large fries and you gave me a hundred little ones.

This makes a lot of sense. Spend many millions of dollars across all your restaurants just so you can replace a few minimum-wage workers. To quote the great Red Foreman:

Dumbass.

The A.I. Way

1. Get caught doing something
2. Make it a violation of the Terms of Service to talk about what they are doing wrong
3. PROFIT!!

The current Postmaster General is a corrupt Trump goon and the current president is 183 years old and brain dead. So, good luck with that.

This is a great technological breakthrough. Now we just have to manufacture 500 million of them and replace all the existing air conditioners. That should be easy, right?

Actually, it's both. You are correct that TikTok can be used -- and is being used --to influence people.

But there is a lot on TikTok (and all other social media) that is just good old fashioned disinformation.

I'm not aware of anything in the 1st Amendment, or anywhere in the U.S. Constitution, which says that a foreign company can operate in the U.S. and there's nothing we can do about it.

(1) Daylight Saving Time is trivial. All modern devices, including my phone, computer and the radio in my car, update their time automatically. For everything else, it's only twice a year, only 2 days out of 365.

(2) No, DST does not cause health problems. Your body doesn't know what time it is. No one should be bothered by a one hour time change. Maybe you just need to go to bed an hour earlier that one day in March. Also, cows and chickens don't know what time it is, either.

(3) We've already tried permanent DST, several times over the last 50 years, and people didn't like it. Maybe you're too young to remember that, but it happened.

(4) Maybe we should pass a law requiring the earth to change the way it is tilted, so that we always get the same amount of daylight all year. Because that makes just as much sense as constantly complaining about DST.

Now **THAT** is a service I would pay for.

Nobody.

Number of downloads is completely meaningless. Billions of downloads does not mean that anyone actually likes it or finds it useful. It simply means that people are curious and trying it out, nothing more. Whether or not it has any long term success remains to be seen. I am skeptical that it will have any long term success because there are already too many well established social media platforms out there.

LOL. Right. Nice fantasy world you have there.

If you consider the number of PCs sold since Windows 11 was first released, and Microsoft's market share, then that works out to at least 400 million computers that came with Windows 11 pre-installed. People aren't aren't using Windows 11 because it is good (it isn't) or because they like it, they are using it because that's what came on the computer they bought.

Well, here is the reason:

The new owner wasted two billion dollars and now they are looking for a way to save money. Unfortunately, companies still refuse to learn from the past: No company has ever cut their way to success.
