... how many of those 'weekly active users' are sales bots chatting up the dating bots? They're both so bloody agreeable we could end up with little bitty baby bots.

I guess you're one of those "the glass is always empty" people. There are storage options beyond batteries, some work in the cold. And no one's building AI data centers in the artic, so I think it's safe to ignore your straw-man argument.

Does Boeing have any aircraft engineers left? I thought they were all replaced with financial engineers and supply chain managers.

Wow! Vibes is a great reason to run a huge AI farm consuming gigawatts electricity causing tons of CO2 to belch into our air. The pollution from AI ain't just in your news feed.

In related news, KeySplash announced their new vomit-proof keyboard! Pair it up with their PukeSurf mouse and you're good for hours of nauseating motion sickness and spreadsheets!

Perfect bedfellows.

I went here: https://vibecodefixers.com/

And got this: "Internal Server Error"

Any chance they vibe-coded their own website?

Add a condition that Steve has to buy all his saw blades from Bob's Blade Barn, at quadruple price.

I hate to highjack such an interesting thread, but now we have to talk about the incredibly unsafe crap our parents let us do in the 70's and 80's. My contribution is this: Remember those big lawn darts with a metal tip from the 70's? They weighed almost a pound and would kill a Corgi if you threw it just right. You'd try to throw one to land in a hoop laying on the ground 30 feet away - much like horseshoes. You'd win a point if you got one in the circle, but to me and my teenage beer-drinking friends, you'd get two points if you caught your opponent's dart mid-air as you stood by the target hoop. What blinding fun! And then in 1988, they were banned due to the rising toll on Corgis and children's eyeballs.

We can't afford to do it forever, dumb-ass. That trading will shift to other countries, never to return. Sorry, should have derided you with the more appropriate moniker of "short-sighted".

So... the guy selling AI agents anecdotally claims his AI agents have replaced 5,000 human agents inside his own company that makes AI agents? This, my friends, if a voice you can trust.

Isn't proclaiming one's self to be a non-ass kind of an assy thing to do?

How many do we exhale? We're probably more interested in inhaled - exhaled, rather than just inhaled.

Does anyone else see this as short-sighted? Fast forward ten or 15 years and all the institutional knowledge from the support staff will have been captured in the AI vendor's system, and then they'll change DHL anything they want. This is "IP Lock-In".

I'm very glad he remembered to donate.
