I'm officially convinced AI doesn't stand for Artificial Intelligence. Given the daily tsunami of generated slop flooding our feeds, it clearly stands for Artificial Idiocracy.

We’re outsourcing our brains to algorithms and getting noticeably dumber by the second. How long until an LLM confidently instructs us to water our crops with sports drinks because "it's got electrolytes"?

It finally happened to me. My iphone just randomly decided to set the sound for my alarm clock to “none”.

At least my furry purring alarm clock still worked but WTF Apple? (The last time this happened to me I was supposed to be at a deposition. It was NOT GOOD. It’s been 10 years & I let my guard down.)

Een héél duur foutje... 😬

Op deze dag in 1996 explodeerde de Ariane 5 raket 37 seconden na de lancering door een simpele softwarebug. Kosten: zo'n €370 miljoen! 🚀

Here’s the deal: sometimes, I overcomplicate things. While it’s not always my fault, at times, I should know better. Today, I’ll let you be the judge. To avoid this being the type of post I can’t stand from certain recipe websites, here’s a breakdown of

Google Gemini ha activat restriccions algorítmiques que estan cremant fins als usuaris de pagament. 🔥

El sistema funciona amb crèdits variables: complexitat del prompt + funcions multimèdia + llargada del fil. Es reinicia cada 5 hores. En teoria.

A la pràctica: un usuari va fer *un sol prompt* amb generació de vídeo i va esgotar el límit de 5 hores en 4 minuts. 0% → 100% en un missatge. 😂💀

Pagues per quedar-te bloquejat. Genial.

Los nuevos límites de Google Gemini están desatando el caos: afectan incluso a los usuarios de pago

En el competitivo mercado de la tecnología de hoy en día, los usuarios asumen que si pagan una cuota mensual a modo de suscripción premium, se están garantizando un acceso estable, fluido y predecible a esa plataforma. Sin embargo, tras los últimos cambios en Google Gemini , la realidad parece ser precisamente la opuesta.

Je hotspot een ‘grappige’ naam geven? Beter van niet! 🤯

Vandaag werd een heel vliegtuig ontruimd door de wifinaam van een passagier: ‘Er is een bom aan boord’. ✈️

Een slechte grap met GIGANTISCHE gevolgen. Denk dus even na voordat je creatief wordt met je tech! 🤦‍♀️
