I am once again begging people to realize that AI checker doesn’t work. it’s never worked. it’s notoriously known to have flagged human-made works as AI and AI-generated works as human-made. and by feeding it people’s works, you are feeding more works to AI, because apparently the machine itself is AI.

the only thing AI checker does is harm genuine artists and people in general too.

Asking AI to check for AI because AI told you you're too stupid and need AI.

Let's say I really wanted to reduce the number of children who die in car accidents. Car accidents are really bad, right? Nobody disagrees about that. And it would be much better for both the environment and the kids' health if they spent more time walking, or taking the bus. Perfectly reasonable. More cars off the road, safer roads, fewer kids getting hurt, healthier kids. A win-win!

Therefore, let's ban children from traveling by car and require all cars to have a scanner on the door that scans the government ID of everyone who gets in the car to make sure no kids are in there. After all, kids get hurt in car accidents all the time! We need to ban this right away!

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it

I am so salty about this. "Smart bulbs" with an app never appealed to me, but I found LED bulbs that operate from a simple remote and like, it should not have taken so long. We have an awkward lighting setup in our living room and now we have two of these little remotes for five bulbs on two circuits and the light can be any color! Or all colors! Dim for navigation and bright for task lighting! I should have had this a decade ago but the vast majority of products are IoT.

They're finally making robot vacuums/sweepers that don't connect to the Internet and why did it take this long?

I paid extra to get a fridge without Internet. Wtf.

My printer tried to lock out the generic ink. I don't remember how I fixed that but Jesus Christ, stop that. My goddamn CPAP has a cell modem. I suspect if I disabled it in the first year the insurance company would have repossessed it.

I've lived in my house for 19 years. I think we're on our fourth fridge because There Are No Good Appliances Left. The ice maker quit working two years ago. We didn't get it fixed. The countertop version we got lasted less than a year. I replaced it with a bunch cheaper model because if the "name brand" failed that fast I might as well go cheaper, fuck.

Every time Windows updates I have to lobotomize whatever new ai has been stuffed into it and fix the taskbar. I terminate customized advertising tracking with prejudice. I dumped chrome and am thisclose to switching to Linux, and I have been in the Microsoft ecosystem since DOS days. I haven't voluntarily used Word in 20+years. The version we have at home is older than that, on my husband's old work pc, because he looked at the subscription model and said fuck no, I already own one. I used Adobe CS2 for a ridiculously long time because upgrading from a program that perfectly cromulantly produced scads of magazines and books for me seemed ridiculous.

My phone tries to install bloat every time it updates. Sometimes it succeeds, but it's at least more usable than the one Samsung I bought... That was garbage.

And now they're trying to make building computers at home unobtainable, thinking everyone will outsource their brains to ai agents on their phones. Revolting. How has my computer appreciated in price of components in 3 years? Nonsense.

The amount of work I have to do to just get basic functionality. I should not have to argue with my air purifier about it connecting to the Internet. It shouldn't be worried about the Internet at all. No, you don't get network access. You're an air purifier.

Nowadays no one would be surprised about a violent gazebo.

Dumb appliances like fridges having any kind of internet access should be criminal. Why do I need the internet for something whose only purpose is to keep my food cold? Why do I need a toaster with a touchscreen that has 30 different ways of cooking toast? It's a fucking toaster.

I had a smart bulb for my hallway a few years back, and was excited that I could now be lazy and turn off a light from my phone while being in another room, but the fact that I would always have to open a random app to deal with normal household stuff annoyed me more, so after a short period, I just started turning the light off with the switch on the wall, like I had been doing for the past 30+ years of my life.

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them

themysteriousmurasamecastle

we want to entertain one billion people a day and to achieve that goal we’re going to fire every single game developer we’ve ever hired 😍😍😍

hellstobetsy

For context, one billion people is roughly the same amount of people that bought any one of the PS2, Switch, DS, Game Boy, PS4, PS1, Wii, or PS5 combined, assuming no overlap.

Note also that none of those top eight consoles are Xboxen.

CEOs and Executives need to learn that their one job is to throw money at the people who actually know what they're doing

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
