Let's throw Sundar Pichai into a dark padded room. Fucks sake this man is So Eager to shit all over something that used to be an impressively powerful tool for learning. Now it's falling into utter uselessness.

God the simpering is so stupid. "He's good at coming in and saying what he wants. It's so great that he does that".

Yeah I want a million dollars and a time machine, it doesn't make me a genius if I walk in and tell other people that that's what I want.

College athltetics has been flush with cash for decades, that money just wasn't going to the kids who were destroying their bodies to make it possible.

I can't say this if this will improve things, but it's certainly less stupid.

This is the kind of thing that "AI" is excellent for: pattern recognition. That's what all the technology really is. It can process a lot more data and find patterns faster than humans.

What a waste of time. Trump brokered a deal with the Taliban. Biden honored the commitment he made. This is just theatrics and is functionally meaningless. This will end up like Clinton and Benghazi. Giant nothingburger.

This is actually quite simple: don't spend your life getting filthy rich off the deaths of uncountable numbers of people. Nobody's going after the top brass at Steam or Lego.

If the entire world cheers your murder, maybe you need to look inward for the cause.

What to know:
A remarkable number of people had a motive with the amount of automated fuckery the company he led pulled.

Remarkably few people are upset about this turn of events.
