WHY does all AI "graphic design" feature that arched text thing? Every single time!

No real designer does that almost ever.

It's an instant giveaway.

It's weird that "nobody ever scans QR codes" was a running joke for *years* but then QR codes suddenly became mainstream and normal

If you needed it spelled out, here it is spelled out.

And remember this when they have some disastrous security incident a few months from now.

Follow up for people boosting two years later... They may have over-corrected for this one.

You can draw a line correlating "internet becomes bad" and "decline in use of the term information superhighway"

Wait, you're telling me that there's a network of networks? And some people are using it to build an "information superhighway"?

I would pay up to five pounds per month for that

Heartbreaking:

Someone used ChatGPT to correct me about a fact...
... and they were RIGHT.

There is a persistent ethical issue in "tech" spaces where people act like technology is neutral and no one wants to judge the people building Killbot 9000, because after all it is merely "tech" and does not carry any inherent moral position
Tom WalkerMar 18

The problem with "tech" as an industry description is that it lumps together a bunch of things that are doing a lot of harm with things that are mostly fine.

If you tell me that you "work in tech" then I have no damn idea whether you are working on a cosy farming sim or autonomous missile targeting systems.
