Close to the joke I was looking for, but I was thinking more along the lines of "suitability to be a Bond movie villain".

Perhaps "How much do you like feeding sharks?"

That was Clarke, not Asimov?

Sorry, I keep forgetting that things are not the same everywhere. My psychiatrist is actually not a Gen-Xer. She's from the same period, but we are from Brazil, and her generation has none of the characteristics of Generation X. Computers only became common here by the time Windows 95 had been released. Very few people had any experience with MS-DOS.

There's plenty of "AI"-related processing which could be delayed and nobody would notice. Training of new models, for example. You get [access to] a new model a couple days later and you won't even notice, because you get it when you get it already. Google is also sufficiently distributed that they can simply move this processing to another location, since both the queries and the results are very small and there will be no appreciable delay associated with doing the processing far away.

Focus group results are subject to two pretty obvious problems. One is that the kind of people who want to do them and have time to do them are not usually the people you actually want input from. Two is that the criteria for selecting focus group members can be selected for the purpose of getting a desired result, you read research that says certain types of people want certain things and then you select people like that to give positive feedback for your shitty ideas.

The question is why you're kissing his O-ring.

You mean the one that removes links to child porn and cuck videos?

Humanities sure didn't help Thiel turn out human.

Inadvertent? I do not think you know what that word means.

USERS SET THEM TO SHARE PUBLICLY
THAT IS NOT INADVERTENT
IT IS A CHOICE

TL;DR: GFY clickbait clowns

Microsoft has consistently failed to implement any of their visions for Windows, ever, except making it a privacy nightmare. Seriously look at Windows history, every time they try to make substantive changes to Windows they fail. They could not even bring us a more featureful filesystem. Now we're supposed to believe anything they say about future Windows? I refuse unless they tell us it's going to kill babies, that I could believe.

IDGAF how people "seem", what I care about is their actions, by which standard Thiel is a lizard person.

Similar how? Same trampling of human rights? Insert goose motherfucker meme here.

Texas is the vile shitstorm. The gov having arrest warrants issued for lawmakers who are doing what he has done to avoid prosecution in the past is the cherry on the shit sundae.

Some coward is proud to shit on facts, and they can fuck off.

"[...] feel as alien as it does to Gen Z [using] MS-DOS." MS-DOS feels alien to anyone that has never used command line. My psychiatrist is Gen X, and using MS-DOS would feel alien for her as well.
