Judith Collin’s is a truly awful person, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

I wasn’t implying that stealth sections were enshittification.

Fair point, but I suspect even people with disabilities hate the general enshittification of games.

That’s your biggest worry with modern gaming?

Go and look up the meaning of “though”, and parentheses.

I was referring to quality of living.

When did I say that?

I hope this is the case, but I can’t see the creators getting paid more than a small fraction of the value of their work even so.

Not the best analogy. The glue factory was a thing while horses were a primary tool for transport and heavy labour. And horses were treated appallingly. Now that they’ve been made redundant, living standards for horses have improved dramatically and the glue factory is long gone (though their population has also reduced significantly).

We can only hope for a similar outcome for ourselves.

Good one. Did you use an LLM to generate it?

This is exactly what will happen.

It has its uses, but it is being massively overhyped.

Having trialled Copilot and a few other AI tools in my workplace, I can confidently says it’s a minor productivity booster.

Those corporations are about to find out the fun way that these algorithms, in their current and near-future states, cannot replace human beings.

Well, except for maybe lazy copywriters who pump out pointless listicles and executives who do - whatever it is they do - but any non-trivial task requiring creativity and understanding is beyond these tools.

Y’all should watch the head of IRD tell them to get fucked (more or less) at this year’s FEC hearing.

There are better ways to do that even in Excel!

This is going to be hilarious when someone decides to take their declarations of “not a citizen” seriously.

And that’s their only “good” product.

The rest is utter garbageware, designed for one purpose: to check boxes on RFPs.

“Influencer”

And they used to get tangled on everything all the time, got caught on things all the time, frayed and wore out all the time, had janky connectors that had to be jiggled to sit in just the right position to get stereo sound, and got tied in knots when you put them away not matter how carefully you wound them.

There’s a reason everyone is using Bluetooth now, gramps.

100% satire.

The real world.
