@NaN @peter It's more properly understood as akin to the product innovation that was crack in the 1980s.

@davidgerard This is such an important observation.

These utter morons are being led by a gaggle of pied pipers into a cave, where they'll be predictably murdered.

@craigduncan @davidgerard @doriantaylor I'm just being silly, pay no attention to me.

@craigduncan @davidgerard @doriantaylor It's also possible to complete preparing dinner using only an assortment of power tools from the garage, or to perform open heart surgery using only tools found in a kindergarten classroom.

@timnitGebru Zuckerberg has always been such a dullard, incinerating billions of metaverse nonsense. But Chan has always kept a low profile, though she’s a piece of shit in her own particular way.

The big money boys see the end of the AI bubble coming, and are moving -- quietly -- to the next pivot: nebulous "quantum" nonsense.
