Agreed. Wayland causes nothing but headaches on remote GUI machines. I was trying with RHEL to use Wayland, but after way too much time spent mucking with it, I just went back to X. Added benefit was I increased the computational speed of the process I was actually trying to run by moving it to X, which seemed contrary to what Wayland is selling itself as.

It is making facts worse on the internet. I was trying to show my 5 year old daughter what a nudibranch looked like. Google dominated the top half of the page with it's AI summary and showed tons of pictures, convincingly claiming they were nudibranches. Turns out, none of them were. They were just AI generated pictures where people had created hybrid animals, like a pony nudibranch, cat, etc... This set of pictures had been repeat blogged by a bunch of spam bloggers trying to game Google's search results for ad money, and the AI then said this is what a nudibranch is. Thankfully I was there to filter the information to my young daughter to inform her that the pictures were completely inaccurate. I can no longer trust anything Google portrays. Their AI has tarnished their brand.

I thought the interactive titles were fun with the family, especially younger kids. We enjoyed some of the shorts they had made. But I only ever saw like 2 or 3 suggested to me. Had I known there were more, especially a Puss in Boots one, I would have seeked them out. I just thought they were slowly still adding more titles. A shame they try to show me titles I will never watch, but didn't show us these when we had selected every interactive one they suggested to us in the past. I get it is not for all, but for family movie night it is great to have some family interaction while also keeping the kids calm. Like a game without the fighting over control.

Well, the AI needs new input to adapt, same way a human does. If a new company decides to rely on people instead to innovate vs a company reliant on AI trained on their pre-existing workforce, then the AI company will quickly be outmatched. AI can't innovate new concepts or methods as of yet, or likely at all with LLMs. AI, a tool for long term corporate stagnation and self-inflicted death...

I don't know any namebrand CO detectors because I buy them once every decade. That is my beef with Amazon, in the areas where people need guidance because they don't recognize any of the brands due to an infrequent purchase, Amazon seems to steer you to these garbage products.
