They should’ve been running their own store a long time ago. Not wait until Google reaches a line that’ll trigger them to.

I’ve tried Vivaldi before in the past and it’s UI and cluttered interface turned me way off. I’ve got my own concerns about it still that hasn’t made me jump to it. That being, it relies on the Chrome Web Store to install extensions. If Google themselves decided not to have something on that store and you’re using it on Vivaldi, well you’re SOL.

That’s an advantage for Firefox, that has its own extensions. Some of us are stuck with Firefox despite their interestingly bad choices and historical lack of fulfilling promises on their own behalf. There are still key advantages with Firefox than most browsers.

And even if some of us are tired of Firefox anyway, we’ve got its forks to use.

One down, several dozen of others to go.

Wish a lot of CEOs have had this mindset of “I fucked up, I gotta go”. No, they just stick around because it’s all power games to them.

ISPs doing dirty tactics, what else is new?

The same companies who display in the open “up to” on all of their plans. Their speeds are never guaranteed.

I accuse TikTok of dumbing down generations of people.

Huh, when did Tim Cook go?

They don’t seem to understand what people actually want from phones.

No thanks.

Well, here’s another angle.

Kids are going to chatbots because they probably have parents that don’t give a shit about them. And kids could lack people in their lives that care at all about their problems. So, who are they going to turn to? They’re going to turn to things that will actually listen to them.

That’s something you have to think about here. We wouldn’t need AI or Chatbots at all, if we had more people who truly care. But now that they’re here, a troubled teen or a kid is going to make that choice.

It’s no different than the days before AI Chatbots, where they were online all the time because their real lives were underwhelming.

If anyone’s dumb enough to go through with these, sucks to be them.

The back looks ugly. Why so many stupid lenses? A phone should have no more than two.

There’s a lot of things humans would have been better off without, technologically.

24/7 News Cycle. 24/7 Social Media. Social Media in general. Smartphones.

Google over there wanting selfies and your street address.

No, I think an email and a password is about as far as you’re going to get.

The problem about AI right now is multi-pronged.

But the main key problems are;

It’s costing people’s jobs. In a way, this is of no surprise because before AI, there were shitty bosses and CEOs. They were always there and they will always find any excuse, if any, to release you from your job. AI only merely accelerated it.

Data Centers/AI Plants take too much water. I like how people conveniently forget today, how much water companies like Coca-Cola and Nestle actually take while turning around, bottling said water, just to sell it back to you. And if anyone has watched How It’s Made, you can find arguments everywhere in that series, about how much resources are taken to make everything we use.

My point is, is a lot of arguments that people bring up against AI, there’s such a wedge of counter-arguments in them that negate the problem of AI itself. It’s just demonized because people are disappointed that AI isn’t magically fixing roads and potholes, I guess, I don’t know. Society doesn’t know what they truly want anymore out of anything, it’s just the feeling in the moment of the current ‘I want said thing’ dominates their mindsets.

But the actual problem with AI shocks no one - shitty CEOs.

Facebook has no intention of doing…anything about its issues.

For instance, I’ve tried reporting ads and everytime I clicked on ‘report ad’ guess what? It throws an error and I’m informed it’ll be fixed ‘very soon’. Well, that ‘very soon’ mind as well be ‘eternally soon’ because it never will be fixed.

As long as nobody is being like a personalized salesman of AI and getting it in everyone’s face, I think it’s okay. I still find AI as a useful tool. But I also don’t see AI as an everything-solve-all kind of tool. It has its limits and I’ve seen them by experience.

And people over in Reddit and tech-illiterate people recommend this garbage?

It was poorly worded because he was meant to target a specific portion of something about antitrust. What he ended up doing is blatantly supporting something a Republican brought up. I guess he couldn’t have found someone within spitting distance that wasn’t Republican and also supported antitrust. Don’t know how, but that’s how short-sighted Andy is.
