I just consulted 54 trillion "people" who agree that this is idiotic.

the introduction of so-called "AI" into products whose users obviously and definitely Do Not Want It, such as ecosia or at mozilla, exemplifies the sheer soullessness of the nonprofit industrial complex. evidently the people making decisions at ecosia don't actually care about the environment, or being sustainable, or planting trees (which tbh is a very simplistic solution to a complex problem to begin with). No, to them ecosia is just a step on their career path like any other, and they're clearly more focused on being able to write "spearheaded introduction of AI at [company]" in their resume than they are on making good decisions that actually further the goals the nonprofit is ostensibly for.

My most successful hacking technique in the game is drive up in this taco truck, turn off the engine and don’t leave it. Then I call the cops, and some gang members, to the outside of the truck - then turn on some cheerful Mexican music on the radio. The players are so confused about the unfolding chaos they don’t notice me in the taco truck most times.
