Duh, it’s run by IBM. The most brain-rotted management suite on earth. All they do is chase the cool new hotness, and unfortunately it works for them – they’re mostly selling to other brain-rotted manager types. (The end users, as usual, get hosed.)

The entire “AI” industry feels built on the premise that you never have to get permission for things.

I’m annoyed at the state of Apple’s app ecosystem. MacOS is worse this year than it’s been in a long time and I’m not updating on Macs that I control.

But have you used a windows pc recently? It’s like banging rocks together. Somehow, they keep finding ways to make it worse every year. Or month. So yeah, I’m using a Mac because it’s the less terrible option.

(And good luck getting your IT people at work letting you put Linux on your laptop.)

We have been complaining about this shit for YEARS.

Using speakerphone in public is acceptable in one scenario: your phone’s normal speaker/mic is broken, you don’t have headphones, and a loved one is calling you as they’re dying.

You should try yelling “money” again, that’ll definitely convince people. Of. Well, whatever it is you’re trying to convince us of.

There is nothing as hilarious as someone trying to use fancy words but missing pretty basic concepts of the language.

You’re trying to sound smart. It’s making you sound dumber.

“I am so smart, the answer is obvious. So I won’t tell you. If you don’t get it, you’re not as smart as me.”

🙄

I worked at IBM.

The people that run that place are the biggest corporate brain-rot dumbasses in the world. The only way to climb into their ranks is to be enough of a waste of oxygen that you aren’t threatening.

I was doing a chemistry project. One aspiring corporate idiot couldn’t believe why my group didn’t want to “incorporate blockchain” into our project. He’s a VP now.

If they ever do anything right, it’s only because they’ve run out of dumb shit things to do first. I assume those poor young people they’ll be hiring will be laid off at the first whiff of the next corporate fad.

People have been begging for big tech companies that rely on open source software to support development. Netflix finally did the dang thing.

More, please!

Again, reading the announcement, it sounds like the advice the developer received in school was to use it. He’s realized now that it was a bad call.

The announcement suggests the developer wrote all the code, but used the slop robot to generate assets. Sounds like the issue is that making art assets actually takes skill, and is something most programmer types underestimate.

When I have an idea, it usually requires one or two pieces of information from the internet to implement.

So while I am still actively having that idea, I try to quickly open a browser tab on my phone and search for that thing. There, it can’t just disappear now!

(Side effects may include some browser tabs that are difficult to interpret. But most are pretty clear.)

I am once again begging people not to post a headline that starts with “Trump, 79,” that doesn’t end with. Well. You know.
