Oh, gee, #COBOL ? The 80s called and wants its programming language back. I'll be dusting off my old books (if I can find them), when Fortran and Pascal return.

The over-hyped AI--who is hyping it? Essentially, people who hope to make quick profits by pushing what is effectively a view of life as redundant--in other words, people who are as profoundly unspiritual in every sense as it is possible to be. And these want children to use their little "AI" [cfr Reuters frontpage today if you need evidence]. Why? Because they hope that the upcoming generation can be shaped to be as silly as themselves.

Yes Reyn truly the most logical way to fight Mechon is to walk aaaaaaaall the way away from them just so that you can climb the side of the railing AND then fight them instead of you know the front…

This was from an unsuccessful attempt at super battle tree but… great job ai using pain split on a 1 HP Pokémon when you’re at full HP clearly this is top level gameplay…

Just did a random attempt of Super Battle Tree (not final team for it) and while I didn’t succeed this happened… WHY DID HE DO THAT KNOWING FOR SURE I HAD STEALTH ROCK!!! I couldn’t stop laughing when this happened (I won the battle naturally…) but definitely lost before battle 50. #pokemon #nintendo #golisopod #hippowdon #PokemonMoon #Nintendo3DS #PokemonSunAndMoon #SuperBattleTree #dumbAI

Prediction: We’re going to need a whole new set of hashtags in the future for when you fat-finger a prompt or hastily punch the Send button on your overly-trusted AI output and suddenly need to follow up in your own words:

Google is adding AI to its work apps. Here’s what that means.

Google Workspace, including Google Docs, Sheets and Gmail, will soon include generative AI tools that aim to aid with work.

The Black Death was compost for the Renaissance and left H. sapiens with a generally stronger immune system.

The hot and cold world wars of the 20th century were steroids and growth hormones for technology. Also engines for the development of the "rules-based world order."

So, sure: deep disruption can work out for the better in a long-enough frame. I'm sure we'll all live to see the silver linings of #GenerativeAI (and #DumbAI in general,) except for those of us it kills.
