Not surprising considering Trump is Putin's agent and Musk is Trump's agent.

TIL I was a normie. I don't get why anyone wouldn't want this if it worked. I don't get enjoyment from the act of searching and clicking through links and verifying. I want to know a thing and if the magic box can tell it to me that would be lovely

You are so wrong that it doesn't even feel right to call you wrong since you are in another universe with its own laws of physics looking into ours wrong.

This just isn't true. What has happened is that companies try to cut costs at every point to make more and more profit since that is what capitalism just does.

There are two ways to submit to capitalism when making products either mass producing the cheapest crap possible with hair thin margins, but since you make so much and they last so little you still make bank.

The other is to make ridiculously over priced luxury goods that rich assholes buy because they want lovingly hand crafted quality instead of the cheap crap, but of course you are marking it up 100-1000 times the price just because you can.

What cannot survive in capitalistic world is the good mid ground of lovingly produced products that actually last and are good quality, because those don't sell as often as they last for a life time or three and you can't gauge the price.

Sure there is a sub section of the economy that literally cannot afford but the cheapest thing, but they need to keep buying same thing year after year as it won't last and thus their children are cursed to suffer the same fate as they cannot inherit any good quality furniture or cars or even houses, everything is just cheaply made consumable with no expectation that it will last longer than a year or two

And hardware to run it and coherence and knowledge to set it up. This feels like insane doomerism.

Yeah... most users do not do that. I would prefer using MacOS forever, but I am under no illusion that it will keep getting supported. But I also use Linux daily so I am not bothered anyway.

Also just please stop fighting against imaginary people.

Who are these dedicated schizophrenics who are running long term super smart AIs to kill everyone without anyone noticing? Or are you implying that running LLM chatbots will give them this ability?

It turns out people want actually good machines. I have the cheapest M1 Air and it still rocks and isn't power hungry. When Apple stops supporting it I will gladly switch to Asahi if capable.

In current economy it is hard to keep your convictions. I am starting to be on the anti-ai side of the issue, but even without kids to take care of I don’t see myself quitting over it since I need to make as much money as I can before the bad times roll in and I need to rely on unemployment benefits. I don’t think people with families and mortgages are going to join me in any sort of boycott to not risk their jobs.

This battle sadly was lost before I was even born. People let Epstein class get all the power and do whatever they wanted and now it is too late to make a difference. This economy will collapse one way or another and status quo won’t change before that.

In what world does including AI “improve our workplace for all”?

All I see (as a software developer) is bad developers producing way more bad code which just increases my workload as I need to review it, which in turn they will just feed back into the hallucination machine so I just end up remote prompting something until it is “good enough” and I will fix it properly when I next work on that part of the code base.

Managers push everything to AI and to Southeast Asia trying to get things done cheaper without realizing how much technical debt they are taking on. Worst part is that if this continues actual good workers, like myself, will be fired for slowing down progress and in decade either so will be the bad developers as then the managers can just prompt the code or whole software industry will collapse under all this bad code.

Either way I see no improvement for anyone except the Epstein class.

try googling yourself then

Aren’t there like pogopin pads or whatever they are called exactly for this purpose? Pretty sure my battery “hat” connects to those

Unless those glasses are just display for iPhone or at least lack cameras it will not go well for them

And why is time such a hard thing to handle in 2026?

All of which are extensions of the phone functions
