Well, that was the last bit of usefulness I used to get out of google. I've been on yahoo for a while now

Well that's certainly one way for your brand to lose a lot of respect once it becomes apparent. Much like I when want to lose respect for myself, I use Chum brand dog food. Chum, it's still food, alright?

How exactly are they poisoning a pool of toxic waste?

Pissing into an ocean of piss.

Now it's not only toxic, it's also acidic and instead of killing you, it'll also melt you.

Logitech decided to include some AI shit in Logi Options+, I uninstalled that crap ASAP.

I still haven’t seen a use of AI that doesn’t serve state or corporate interests first, before the general public. AI medical diagnostics comes the closest, but that’s being leveraged to justify further staffing reductions, not an additional check.

The AI-captcha wars are on, and no matter who wins we lose.

This market; expected to replace the same market that just used bots to achieve the same thing
