- it bears all the hallmarks of vibe coded AI slop.
- it’s part of a conglomerate of for-profit companies all have _AI slop_ written all over them.

I recommend
#foss instead.

We did it everyone! We forced Google not to be evil. 💪 🎉

Side-loading will be cumbersome, but it will remain possible.

Thanks everyone for speaking up against Google's plans! 🙏 ❤️

in a class on using AI for data analysis and i genuinely don't want to work in information technology anymore. none of this shit works and everyone is required to use it anyway. it sounds like hell. i would literally rather flip burgers or whatever.
