  • There are two disturbing tendencies being demonstrated here:

    1. Using useless AI to engage and disperse complaining customers. The AI can’t make meaningful solutions to many customer complaints. But companies use it to annoy the customers into giving up, so that they can save the cost of real customer support.
    2. Either blaming the AI or insisting that it’s right, when it makes a mistake. AI by nature is biased and unpredictable. But that doesn’t stop the companies from saying ‘the computer says so’.

    These companies need a few high profile hefty penalties as a motivation to avoid such dirty tricks.





  • What do you mean anything better? This is what conservative politicians everywhere do when they have nothing to show for progress. They inflame religious tensions and exploit the resulting emotions - especially the hatred and the feeling of betrayal to win elections. The real sad part is that those emotions linger far longer than their intended consequence. People will die.


  • Imagine having your life cut short and sent back to your family in a coffin to cause them immeasurable grief. All that for what? To satisfy the ego and greed of a tyrant who doesn’t give 2 shillings worth of value to your life or your family’s welfare? This is why nations glorify soldiers and wars. Sometimes, they’re necessary to defend peace and the rule of law of the land. But most often, it’s to gaslight young people to become worthless pawns in the ego trip of some pathologically narcissistic and sociopathic individuals. Be wary of the charlatans who sell nationalism and praise soldiers - they’re scheming cowards looking for ways to avoid the same. Despite what they teach you, nationalism and honor are just tools to control you.

    There’s a mythical story (Greek or Roman) where a goddess managed to get her human lover an eternal life, but forgot to ask for eternal youth. This oversight led to the horror where he watched his beautiful young lover from afar while he lost all grace, prominence and influence while withering away into an eternal life of suffering.

    Honestly, that is what this old goat deserved. Not the peaceful death that he got.
