Whenever you see the words “ads”, “cryptocurrency”, “blockchain”, “web 3”, or “AI”, just replace them with “farts” and you’ll know whether you want them or not.

“Can the fediverse survive without farts?”

Yes, perfectly well.

“Will farts replace people?”

I hope not.

“The European Commission embraces farts.”

That’s unfortunate.

“This new startup wants to improve your life with farts.”

I’m good, thanks.

@aral I was involved in A.I. before it was cool and I am aghast at the folks who mindlessly use “blockchain” and “A.I.” in the same sentence although they are like oil and water. (e.g. blockchain + dyson sphere + billion years = enough CPU power to train a simple model). After the NFT humiliation the ignorant and indolent quickly got the idea that ChatGPT would write their pitch deck for them.
