YouTubes 'no copyright intended' or some sovereign citizen maritime flag nonsence. It's a mix of downloading ram and wearing a sacred symbol to ward off the evil eye.

Why do people praising a thing you're saying is useless sound like someone listing it's good points in an advert? Gee tough question, could it be that they're essentially the same thing and the latter is explicitly designed to look like the former?

Of course if you're going to dismiss something entirely then people who benefit from using it are going to give their opinion, that's what this is - a place to give opinions and talk about stuff.

How else would anyone answer your question? You suggest that it has no use, people who use it regularly are of course going to point out the uses it has. And yes many aren't going to bother they're going to use the button that essentially says 'this is balderdash I don't agree'

I have found many things ai is brilliant at, as a coding assistant it really is a game changer and within five years you'll be used to talking to your PC like they do in Star Trek and having it do all sorts of reality useful things that there are no options for in software made like we do now.

I feel like a significant amount of my friends would be caught by that too

The funniest bit is their garbage men are painfully bad, watching them is like comedy - lifting bags out the bins with their hands, spilling it all down the road, all flying out the truck as they drive down the road.

There are a lot of pictures on Facebook of people carrying decent sized loads - I saw a stack of drywall, a significant pile of lumber, and some motorbikes. I think it's smallness is exaggerated

And there are plenty of ways to mitigate that such as having a window in which cancelled subscriptions can be reinstated.

Making software and services awful because theoretically a bad user is going to misuse it is dumb, it's the very core of enshittification.

Is that why they always have windows between the living room and bathroom?

I know it's easy to see things that way but the reality is they're people and if we went to move into a better future then we're going to have to work out how to convince people to move forward with us.

It saddens me how many purportedly on the left seem to want nothing but conflict and violence. It feels like they're working to try and make things worse simply so they can feel some foolish sense of pride at being right or play out some childish freedom fighter fantasy.

You're a horrible person and no amount of pretending to be high minded will change that

Think of the children being used to push an agenda that helps the very wealthy? Well I'll be, what a totally new and not at all predictable move.

Ban all ai that aren't owned by rich people, make open source impossible, restrict everything that might allow regular people to compete with the corporations - only then will you children be safe!

It's a camera in a box, pretty sure it doesn't use that amount of power
