"Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life"
"we have inconvenienced our end user for the purpose of begging for data, and we will assume that whatever we collect was given in good faith" is an absolutely wild opinion to hold in this year of our lord 2025.
Powerful people feeding that data into an AI in order to outsource decision-making is both predictable and insane. We are about to enter an epic era of rake-stepping.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but there is *no* "preferred ad experience". WTF. It's like asking me which ear I would prefer to get an infection in or whether I would "recommend excel to a friend". Data science folks at every company have lost their collective minds.
Sometimes I wish I had the patience to see people the way Terry Pratchett did.
Lol, why is my version of The Atlantic app the Staging version. That does not seem right...
It's wild watching this useful idiot repeatedly walk right up to the precipice of realizing something important, and then failing to take that final step.

I think that sick people in Ankh-Morpork generally go to a vet. It's generally a better bet. There's more pressure on a vet to get it right. People say "it was god's will" when granny dies, but they get *angry* when they lose a cow.

This made me throw up in my mouth a little.
